De Hoop Nature Reserve Lodges

The De Hoop Nature Reserve extends over 34,000ha of isolated coastal terrain giving way to sand dunes, sloping mountains, and rare lowland fynbos, as well as a marine reserve that extends 5km into the sea. The marine reserve is an important breeding and calving area for the southern right whale and devoid of the tourists who flock to other whale-watching areas. Visitors travelling at the right time of year will be able to watch these giants perform powerful acrobatics metres from shore.
