Stayed at 45 Marine Drive end February 2013. Flat was clean and neat, but desperately needs upgrading. For R1500 for 2 adults - a bit pricey. Stayed on ground floor (Apartment 1) but not one of the apartments had any lounges to sit outside, so could enjoy the huge front area. Furniture is sooooo old and uncomfortable. Both showers leaked... More

I have stayed at 45 Marine Drive about 5 times in the past 10 years. Every time I was leaving a happy customer and promised myself to return...which I did! The location of these apartments are perfect - walking distance to shops, supermarkets and restaurants! The view is amazing and every time we stayed there (which is usually in August),... More

Great view and all round great experience. The unit (4 sleeper unit no 2) is fully equipped and more than sufficient. Although furniture is old it does not lack anything. I was pleasantly surprised with the underfloor heating in the main lounge, heated towel rails and Satellite Television included in the package. Within walking distance of most main amenities, old...

After reading a few reviews, just before leaving for 45 Marine Drive, which were negative, I was pleasantly surprised and happy to find that the negative reviews were definitely not my experience. Was a home away for home for our family. The views were excellent and the location absolutely perfect to just walk up to the town and browse at... More

The apartments are located on Marine drive which is one of the main sea facing roads in Hermanus and walking distance to the central shopping area. Great views of the sea from the rooms and the balconies. Note that although they are advertised as luxury apartments they are basic serviced apartments and this is reflected in the price you pay!...

Chose here to have balcony on sea front to view whales. Appartment bit dated but did have gated entrance and garage for car. Certainly view was terrific and great central location to walk around Hermanus. Some new furniture and a makeover would have made it perfect but the view made up for it mostly but windows could have done with... More

My wife and I recently spent 2 weeks in a ground floor apartment (no 2), sharing with two friends. The general level of cleanliness and servicing of the property was poor, and certainly not up to the usual standards found in most holiday accomodation in South Africa. On take-over, we found finger marks all over the patio doors, windows and... More
