Resorts in De Hoop Nature Reserve

Alexeja Germany

Absolutely amazing staff! Melanie is a joy! The rondavels are lovely, cleaned daily and good value. I loved the outdoor shower. Inquisitive dassies visiting daily and plains game all around were a bonus. Food at the restaurant was really good. We didn’t preorder meals and arrived late without supplies, but they made a plan for us! Thank you wonderful team!

Very comfortable and sweet cottage. Restaurant food and wine better than expected. Location and scenery just out of this world.

Did not have breakfast - quite expensive. The accomodation and staff are outstanding. De Hoop is beautiful and unspoilt. The beeches are unforgettable.

De Hoop is such a special place and Opstal houses create a perfect environment from which to appreciate the natural magic that surrounds it. This is our 3rd visit to Opstal and the nature reserve and this time we bought about 10 friends who all agreed that it was the high point of our holiday to SA. On previous visits the rock pools have been one of my favourite features and I was disappointed in this trip to discover that a higher tide would make these inaccessible for our entire duration as they had been a highlight on previous trips but, hard to know who to complain to about the tides?!... the moon maybe?! However the weather was cooler than my previous visits which made walking and exploring much easier. We did several sunrise missions to the coast and it was simply stunning. Accommodation is no frills but very clean and totally in keeping with the simple wonder of its surroundings. In short De Hoop is stunning and Opstal houses create a perfectly balanced atmosphere from which to appreciate it. Bravo!
