We loved everything. No complaints

Beautiful location with sea views and a short walk down the the water. The check in was very simple as we were welcomed by Reggie who had prepared a warm fire for us. Reggie made our stay absolutely wonderful catering to our every need and providing us with delicious food. The room was spacious and the bath was so comfortable. It was a perfect place to just wind down and relax and celebrate our anniversary. We also loved meeting the 2 gorgeous kitty cats that stay there.

Marine 5 is an intimate, homely establishment run by a very efficient manager, Reggie. Reggie is the heart and soul of this boutique hotel. We were welcomed warmly and given a tour of the home. Not only is Reggie the manager, he is also the chef who provided us with the most delicious meals. We booked the king suite which had huge glass windows with a panoramic view of the ocean. One could even smell the ocean when the door leading to balcony was open , that's how close the hotel is to the ocean. We were lulled to sleep at night by the sound of the waves crashing on the shore. One can capture the perfect sunset while sitting on the balcony. Definitely food for the soul and a good dose of much needed vitamin sea The suite was comfortable with a king size bed fitted with crisp white linen. The room has a leather lounge suite , tea and coffee station , bar fridge and TV. There is more than enough lighting available. Upon entering the bathroom area , one walks through a dressing room with ample cupboard space. The bathroom is modern, spacious and very clean. A real treat is the jacuzzi style bath. .

Nothing - it was lovely. Very communal feel but also private. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Reggie - hands down, the most incredible welcome, dinner maker, recommendation extraordinaire! Stunning room, but it felt like we were at home whilst also being on vacation - the perfect combo really.

It's a bit further away from places. It doesn't have a garden or outdoor pool.

We had the king suite, which is enourmous and has the best view on the bay with a lot of windows. The pictures don't do it justice. We also had Christmas dinner with amazing food and a good breakfast. The small indoor poor is also nice to just relax after arriving in the evening before dinner, especially in warm days. The place seems to be a personal home but also used for a hotel. So you have the extras people would only get for their own home like a nice bath, more cosy and comfortable rooms and just better quality.

The location was just perfect—next to the beach. I enjoyed the sea view from the room and the fresh seabreeze coming when you open the windows in the room. The warm welcome, excellent service, and the daily breakfasts and dinner qualities were of the highest level. I would definitely recommend the venue to all the people looking for relaxation nearer the beach. I would definitely like to go back there again.

very poor internet speed at the property. you almost cannot use it, as speed is too low maybe add something as desert on breakfast: you have a coffee but there is nothing to take with it.(this is written just as a suggestion)

Awesome view from the room. Good dinners and breakfasts made by Redgie(sorry if I miswrite a name). Overall mood of the property is also very nice. Very comfortable beds and pillows, our best sleep within the whole trip. Definetely stay again.

No flexible check in and out time. I guess because there is only 1 person managing everything

Panoramic window view from bed with huge space. Dinner was included and it was very nice

The N2 and R43 have some ongoing roadworks which make journey times unpredictable

Reggie was fantastic. Great location for sharks and whales.

Stayed in October 2024

The property overlooks the sea and our bedroom had views across the bay. The room was very spacious, the bed comfortable and location ideal for the whale coast destinations. Reggie who looks after the property is so welcoming and helpful. Lindi the owner is delightful. Can’t ask for more!

I would have liked to be informed that there were pets living in the hotel. I am allergic to cats and there were two cats, so had to be on meds for that weekend. Reggie was very accommodating though, while we ate in the main space, he put the cats away. Place was a little dusty, but also don't blame him, he has so much to do.

Breakfast was exceptional. Reggie, our host was extremely accommodating and very friendly. Waking up to breathtaking views was the highlight of our trip. Food was good, bed very comfy and just perfect for a relaxing break away.

Beautiful view, nice house, perfect room. Dinner was prepared for the guests, which was nice, but it is not a restaurant. Still, you get everything and don’t have to go out in the evening. Great stay!

Not much! If it was me I would get ride of the TV stand in the middle of the room as it was just unnecessarily. Bear in mind there is little to walk to, such as bars or restaurants but can’t see why you would want to leave the accommodation.

Reggie was just brilliant, we felt so well looked after and he cooked an exceptional meal. The view from the room was just breathtaking and sitting there looking at the bay on a lovely hot day was very special.
