So - to get this out the way - the last 45km of the drive here is on dirt roads, and the 3 hours from Cape Town presumes you have a car that can go at 80 on these. We did not, and neither this the 3 cars we came across with punctures en route! Somehow no one mentioned this detail, or we overlooked / forgot it… still, got there in the end and when we did it was so so worth it. It feels like you are totally immersed in the animal life. Within minutes of arriving - before we even got to our room, we had seen dozens of ostrich, baboons, eland, zebra and even a flock of flamingos. The whole place was so tranquil, the food great albeit some of the service a little rusty… and the guides were so friendly and knowledgeable. The dunes a short drive away were an added bonus on top of the wetlands. Miles and miles of rolling sands and completely deserted beaches looking out onto the Indian Ocean. Just magic.
We liked the reserve. Calm, with a nice view around the whole place. Lots of small animals too. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the food is not great bad breakfast but acceptable dinner. The service is very disappointing. Half of the staff seems unhappy to work there, not much friendly, neither helpful. Regarding the restaurant, we needed to ask several times to get our drinks and our food. Beside that, we liked the mood there, good feelings and lots of families.
Beautiful venue. Friendly, happy and hearty staff. Good service.... we loved the cellar, and the nature and all the deer. Good food and wine. The coast is stunning! Spectacular!
Great experience being immersed in the beautiful nature reserve. We stayed in a Rondawel with shared bathroom facilities, the outdoor shower with views on the river was a special experience. The guides on our boat tour and the friendly service and delicious food at the restaurant also contributed to our great time at De Hoop, looking forward to coming back in the future!
Caravanning. Nice camp sites. Mostly quite private and mostly with some shade. Excellent campsite ablution and kitchen. Well maintained and managed. Lots of bird life and game walking through the camp. A bit expensive for camping but well worth it. Great place.Service: 4/5
Absolutely stunning location, this is a must see in a wonderful remote part of the Cape. Views over the vlei and the surrounding area are special. The chalets were lovely and most suitable for the area in the Cape Dutch style. We had a wonderful, peaceful visit whilst there. Definitely visit the beach with its beauty and serenity, if like us you could get lucky and spot Secretary Birds walking through the fynbos too. A must visit.
We stayed in the campsite which gives one a real nature experience. Camping area is not grassed. Some campsites have shady trees, some have magnificent views of the vlei. Ostriches, bontebok, eland, zebra and countless birds wander through the campsite. Campers may use the swimming pool which has a magnificent, uninterrupted views of the vlei. Ablutions are very clean. Ladies: 3 showers with plenty of hot water, 2 basins and 3 toilets. I assume Mens side is similar. Communal kitchen area with table top ovens/stoves, wash up sinks, kettle, chest freezer and a few basic utensils. There are even dish cloths, sponges and Sunlight liquid. Gift shop. ½hr drive to the beach.
There is absolutely nothing bad I can say about this place. I came here for my partner's sister's wedding and I was highly skeptical of the logistics but: 1 Location: 15/10, absolutely gorgeous. Some fynbos, some wild life, beautiful blustery beaches and a lovely vlei. 2 Service: excellent service. The wedding went off without a hitch on their side. When I lost my phone during the ceremony, they were a great help in retrieving it. The staff are super friendly and incredibly helpful. They worked late nights and early mornings for us with no issue and no complaints. 3 Food: absolutely delicious. I recommend that anyone have their salmon croissant for breakfast. They work with a limited dinner menu vegetarian options are available! but they play to their strengths and it's incredible. The steak they served was pink to perfection but so tender and melt in your mouth. The texture and flavour of the fish they served was lovingly preserved. The vegetables were sweet, well seasoned and cooked to the perfect level. We had forgotten to book a table one night and they easily accommodated us. They even made sure I had a different dessert option! Though, I would advise everyone to remember to book their tables. I have never been a fan of potjie but even their potjie was perfect. 4 Accommodation: we stayed in the beautifully furnished Opstal houses. The buildings are well preserved and they ensure you have coffee, tea, sugar and creamer, though you may want to bring your own salt and pepper if you cook for yourself. Cooking utensils and crockery are provided, as are towels, toilet paper and tissues. 2ply, people, that's how you know it's fancy. Our thanks for a lovely experience! We wish you all the best!
Just a phenomenal place, sleep amongst Eland, Bontebok, Ostrich, Zebra and many others. Beach trips are breathtaking, will revisit again and again.Rooms: 5/5
He had an accident on our way to the de hoop Nature Reserve on the gravel road. We were lucky and met Dalfrenzo on the way. He brought us to the accommodation and helped und together with Hendrik getting a new car and figuring out things with Europcar. We are very thankful and had a very nice stay at their site. Thank you Hendrik, Dalfrenzo and the whole team. You all took really good care of us. So this is definitely a recommendation for the de hoop collection, such a beautiful place. We woke up to zebras and bonteboks.
