Hermanus will be hosting the 11th FynArts Festival from 10 to 19 June 2023. The programme includes ten days of music, as well as visual, performing-, literary- and culinary arts and wine events that are expected to draw thousands of visitors to the seaside town.
Hermanus boasts more than 20 art galleries and is well established as a vibrant cultural hub for the arts. The 2023 Fynarts will include a Winter School programme of workshops, presentations, conversations, and demonstrations, while other events include book readings, exhibitions, and gallery walkabouts.
Situated on the cliff path in the heart of Hermanus, The Marine Hotel is within walking distance to various Fynarts activities and exhibitions, with 40 rooms and suites offering indulgent accommodation options for festivalgoers. Whale season is in full swing, with the Pavilion Restaurant boasting awe-inspiring views of Walker Bay where these giants of the sea can be observed frolicking in the Atlantic Ocean. Head chef Oelof Vorster’s menus highlight the impressive bounty of the Overberg and focusses on local flavours and fresh ingredients. Reservations are available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the Pavilion Restaurant, while The Sun Lounge is open daily for drinks, light snacks and Afternoon Tea complemented with mesmerizing ocean views.
About The Marine
The Marine, a member of The Liz McGrath Collection, is one of South Africa’s most spectacular seaside hotels. Located on Hermanus’ famous cliff path, overlooking the breathtaking Walker Bay, the Small Luxury Hotels of the World property offers visitors the unique opportunity to experience the finest land-based whale watching in the world from June to November each year. Guests are even able to view these majestic creatures from the comfort of their own sea view room. The Overberg region is also a must for adventure sport seekers, offering a host of activities – including hiking, mountain biking and marine sports.

The 40 elegantly appointed rooms and suites include 10 Luxury Doubles with Sea View and 10 Premier Suites – both categories are perfectly positioned for watching pods of dolphins and whales as they swim in the bay below. Guests may take a refreshing dip in The Marine’s pool, located in the hotel’s tranquil courtyard, or in the Tidal Pool, which can be accessed from the cliff path.
