Summary: The Marine in Hermanus is launching an elegant Afternoon Tea in The Sun Lounge from Thursday, 6 August 2026, available every Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 12:00 to 16:00.

Few things suit a leisurely afternoon quite like tea, freshly baked scones and a little something sweet, particularly when the ocean is practically on the doorstep.
From Thursday, 6 August 2026, The Marine in Hermanus is inviting guests to slow things down with its Afternoon Tea experience in The Sun Lounge.
Served every Thursday, Friday and Saturday between 12:00 and 16:00, the experience brings together classic afternoon tea favourites and the relaxed elegance of one of Hermanus’ best-known seaside hotels.
- The Marine sits along the famous Hermanus cliff path overlooking Walker Bay, making its coastal setting a particularly fitting backdrop for a long afternoon over tea and treats. Priced at R415 per person, the Afternoon Tea begins with a complimentary glass of sparkling wine on arrival, followed by a selection of savoury and sweet treats accompanied by a choice of tea or coffee.
The experience includes delicate savoury bites alongside The Marine’s signature freshly baked scones and a collection of sweet treats. It is the sort of spread that encourages guests to take their time, work their way from savoury to sweet and perhaps settle the age-old question of how many scones constitute a perfectly reasonable afternoon. Two? Three? Best not to rush these decisions.
At R415 per person, the experience works nicely for a catch-up with friends, a birthday treat, a relaxed date or simply an afternoon that deserves something a little more indulgent than the usual cup of tea. Guests should plan ahead, as booking is essential and at least 24 hours’ notice is required. The Marine’s published contact details are 028 313 1000 and bookings@themarine.co.za.
