Walter
McFarlane, who moved to Hermanus from nearby Elgin in the 1880's, built
the Marine Hotel in 1902.
The hotel
started off quite modestly with a mere 21 rooms, and over the years the
hotel has seen numerous extensions and changes of ownership.
Following
the purchase of the Marine by David Rawdon in the early 1980's and four
years of painstaking renovation, thirteen years of successful management
ensued.

| However
a new custodian was required to take this grand old lady into the new millennium.
Liz McGrath became the new owner of the Marine Hotel in March 1998 and
so began the complete makeover of this historic hotel.
As
with the sister properties of The Collection, namely the Cellars-Hohenort
and the Plettenberg, the world-class quality that has become the hallmark
of Liz McGrath was injected into the Marine. This was achieved by using
exceptionally talented designers to ensure the highest standards of style,
elegance, and comfort in both the bedrooms and the public areas of the
hotel.

After
a concerted nine month restoration period, the Marine reopened in October
1998 as a 5 Star hotel. In January 2000 the hotel was accepted as a member
of the Relais & Chateaux Association and secured its position among
the finest hotels in the world. This grand old lady has never looked so
glamorous - a fitting tribute to those who built the Marine a century ago
- but now possesses all the amenities a modern sojourner could wish for.
The
Marine offers 42 individually decorated bedrooms and suites, each with
its own private facilities. Commanding views extend across Walker Bay or
over the beautiful internal courtyard, finely manicured gardens, and the
Overberg Mountains.
