138 Marine Beachfront Guesthouse is one of the highly recommended Hermanus guest houses and provides accommodation in 6 guest rooms for tourists visiting the Cape Overberg region.
138 Marine Beachfront Guesthouse is a stylish retreat from the bustle of city living, and is perched right on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, with a sprawling deck next to the beach.
Guests can soak up the sun on the spacious terrace, drinking in the views of the mountains and the sea, or can catch up on a good book on the deck, while sipping on some of the delicious estate wine. The fireplace inside is perfect for cooler evenings and guests that want to cosy up in front of the crackling logs.
Walks on the beach are a must, as are strolls along the coastal path, which showcases the fauna and flora of the rock pools, as well as the stunning fynbos skirting the guesthouse.
No attention to detail has been spared in the superbly stylish décor. The five luxurious designer suites are individually fitted with all modern comforts, meeting international standards: king or queen-sized beds decked in 400-thread count Percale linen, underfloor heating, heated towel rails, satellite TV, wireless internet access, complimentary tea & coffee making facilities, electronic safes, and overhead fans.
The extensive breakfast menu changes daily. On request, a picnic can be provided to enjoy on the beach in front of the guest house, and on-site wellness therapies can be arranged.
During loadshedding meals will still be served and Wi-Fi will remain on. Kettles in the room will not work in loadshedding by boiling water form our gas stove can be provided. The underfloor heating will not work but extra blankets and hot water bottles are available.
138 Marine is only five minutes from the Hermanus town centre, renowned for the best shore-based whale watching experience anywhere on the globe. It is close to 2 world-class golf courses and at the gateway to the Hermanus Wine Route.
138 Marine is a stone's throw from unspoiled beaches and a quaint assortment of village restaurants, country markets, boutiques, bars, art galleries, and charming little shops.
It is an enchanting base from which to explore one of the world's most magnificent eco-destinations with whale watching from land or boat, great white shark cage viewing and diving from Gansbaai, bird watching by dingy on the Stanford River, mountain and fynbos walks in the Fernkloof nature reserve, dune horse riding, or visiting the penguin colony and Harold Porter Botanical Gardens at nearby Betty's Bay.
A little further afield and easy day trips include wine tasting at the many wineries in the area, 4X4 driving trails, the southernmost tip of Africa at Cape Agulhas, the caves and beach at De Kelders, the Mission station at Elim, the picturesque Kassiesbaai fisherman's village at Arniston and the historic Greyton and Genadendal rural villages.
What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.

Amazing location on the sea edge, superbly appointed Accomodation and wonderful professional staff. The views are breathtaking and the guest house is well maintained and efficiently managed. The breakfast is tasty and well presented from continental to a hot option which was excellent. Security is very good and access is easy to navigate. We would totally recommend this establishment and commend their staff for wonderful service delivery!
