The De Hoop Nature Reserve is one of South Africa’s true wildernesses formed of remarkable beaches, sand-dunes, fynbos and vlei wetlands – a place of immense beauty. Halfway between Cape Town and Knysna it remains an uncommercial hidden gem for nature lovers. De Hoop offers the best land- based whale watching in Africa during the winter months.
Morukuru Beach Lodge is a boutique hotel of 5 double rooms and Morukuru Ocean House is an exclusive-use property for up to 8 adults and 4 children. Both award-winning, Relais & Chateaux accredited properties are striking, luxurious and off-grid, set discretely among the fynbos of this exceptional nature reserve. They offer a busy activity programme including nature and marine walks, dune-surfing and mountain-biking, yet with the flexibility to tailor any itinerary to individual wishes. Morukuru Family is famed for exceptional service and mouth-watering cuisine. They also own three exclusive-use houses in the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve – which twins well with De Hoop Nature Reserve, for those seeking ‘bush and beach’ – as well as the oasis that is Athol Place House & Villa in Sandton, Johannesburg.
