Accommodation at De Hoop

 

Koppie Alleen - De Hoop Collection

 

For those wishing to stay at De Hoop during the whale season, there are plenty of varied accommodation options on offer. These vary from the affordable campsite rondavels, an assortment of self-catering cottages and larger houses or the Opstal Manor House, which includes all meals catered for at The Fig Tree restaurant. For those wanting a more private option, there is the charming Koppie Alleen set on its own – overlooking the bay.

The De Hoop Reserve

The Reserve is renowned for its rich offering of things to do and see, and guests can intersperse their wine tasting activities with mountain biking, scenic hikes, birding, snorkelling, and more. Day visitors are welcome, and guests may leave their vehicles at any time to tour the area.

Described as ‘the jewel of the Western Cape’, the De Hoop Nature Reserve is the perfect setting for a three day celebration of some of the country’s most delicate and decadent wines on offer. For those with a taste for luxury and the gorgeous Cape landscape, this is an event not to be missed!
