Book at De Hoop for Heritage Day!

Doesn't it seem fitting to book your Heritage Long Weekend away at a world renowned UNESCO Heritage site, namely DE Hoop Nature Reserve?

Officially the area is South Africa's first private and public enterprise initiative between Cape Nature and the De Hoop Collection. The brains behind Madikwe Game Reserve, William Stephens and Carl Trielof, came up with the idea of cooperating with Cape Nature and re-inventing this incredibly beautiful and isolated area.

We have a wide variety of accommodation facilities to choose from, fitting each and every budget. From camping and caravanning sites and affordable self-catering chalets to more luxurious self-catering cottages and five-star fully catered lodges. The De Hoop Collection accommodation has something for everyone, from families travelling on a limited budget, couples seeking a comfortable but affordable breakaway to top-end fully inclusive weddings and honeymoons. Catered and self catered options are available for most accommodation types.

The reserve itself includes 70 km of rugged coastline and sandy beaches. One of the highlights of this location is undoubtedly that it is one of the best whale viewing sites on the globe. In addition, the De Hoop Marine Reserve is one of the world's most important calving grounds for the southern right whale and an important nursery area from which depleted angling species such as galjoen are replenished. The area also has numerous dive sites where some have been lucky enough to encounter whale sharks.

Whichever De Hoop Cottage you choose, you'll be rewarded with unique memories. To explore the magnificent De Hoop Collection and book your stay with us over Heritage Day weekend contact Tel: +27 28 542 1253 Email: res@dehoopcollection.co.za
