  Whale Watching

Southern Right Whales can be spotted on the South African coastline from June to early December. Hermanus is known as arguably the best land-based whale watching destination in the world.

Southern Right Whales return to Hermanus every year as the sheltered bay is believed to provide the perfect environment for them to mate and calve.

Walker Bay is often referred to as a ‘nursery’ home to an abundance of mothers and new-born calves as they rest, feed and play.

In addition to the ‘Southern Rights’ there are also Humpback whales, resident Bryde’s whales and even the elusive Orcas occasionally spotted in the Bay.

While engaging in whale watching activities in Hermanus you will also have the opportunity to interact with the marine ‘Big Five,’ the Southern Right Whale, Great White Shark, Cape Fur Seal, Common Dolphin and African Penguin.

Whether taking a boat trip, a guided tour or walk along the Cliff Path this excellent location allows easy access to a variety of marine based activities.

For a bird’s eye view take a scenic flight over Walker Bay and experience the whales from this unique perspective or go on a sea kayaking tour getting within metres of these gentle giants.

At The Marine you can enjoy watching the whales from the comfort of your Luxury Sea-View Room, while enjoying a drink in the Sun Lounge or from various vantage points throughout the hotel.

Food  and Wine

About Peter

Peter’s approach to food is simple, “If it is not the best it can be, it doesn’t belong on the menu!” It is an approach which he stakes his reputation on every day, and one that has garnered him with many (enviable) awards and accolades over the years.

This approach to cooking is expected and evident in each of the 6 restaurants of Liz McGrath’s Collection which Peter oversees. Be it the elegant gastronomic Greenhouse, or the simplistically precise SeaFood restaurant at The Marine, perfection is the ultimate goal that Peter’s food aspires to.
Marine Hotel marine sweet treat

Many great chefs have had an influence in Peter’s style, from his beginnings with Marco Pierre-White and Giorgio Locatelli to Joel Robuchon, Anne-Sophie Pic and Daniel Humm of Late. The Collection’s flagship restaurant – The Greenhouse – has become a place where modern cuisine comes together with the rich tapestry of South African ingredients and flavours.

A melting pot of ideas and concepts, it is a place revered by many as one of the leading restaurants in the country.

Realizing the importance of our delicate planet and all its inhabitants, Peter is continually striving to achieve a balance between sustainability and culinary uniqueness through ecological awareness and sustainable product development.

A mission which has seen the development of a myriad of unique and amazing dishes using less glamorous fish and seafood; dishes which are guaranteed to bring guiltless dining pleasure to all guests of The Greenhouse and The Collection by Liz McGrath.
