Pristine beaches, coastal fynbos, a birdlife-rich vlei and some of the best whale watching in the world, make De Hoop Nature Reserve an unforgettable escape into nature. But this is no ordinary bush adventure. The human engine of the Reserve is the De Hoop Collection, offering a range of distinctive accommodation options, including self-catering chalets, charming cottages, tasteful suites and the exclusive Villa Collection, featuring De Mond Villa, overlooking the Ramsar vlei; De Hoop Villa, and the old, beautifully restored stone cottage, Melkkamer Manor House. Enjoy memorable dining at the Fig Tree Restaurant and William’ s Wine Cellar in between exploring a variety of activities and experiences, including mountain biking, hiking, the Vlei to Whales Trail, eco-boat cruises, guided marine walks at Koppie Alleen, and thrilling nature drives. De Hoop is also a birdwatcher’ s paradise, where you can catch the rare Cape Vulture surveying the area for a kill from the tall branch of a Knobthorn tree, and watch it swoop down to take its share. For a more sedate experience, you can visit the The Origins of Early Southern Sapiens Behaviour Exhibition. Proudly a member of Cape Country Routes.
