De Hoop Collection and CapeNature transform the De Hoop Nature Reserve
19 December 2008
Situated just three hours drive from Cape Town, the 36, 000 hectares of De Hoop conservation area forms part of a World Heritage Site characterised by rich biodiversity and rare species of fynbos that lead down to an unspoiled coastline. A 19km vlei, which is a Ramsar site, stretches across the reserve and is home to rich birdlife, including pelicans, that breed on its waters each year. The three nautical miles of De Hoop Marine Reserve beyond the shoreline offer some of the best whale viewing.
in the world, with some 40% of the global Southern Right Whale population coming to the bay each year to breed. The aim of the De Hoop Collection is to enhance and expand on the existing accommodation and activities offered in the reserve, working hand in hand with CapeNature to bring local and overseas guests a range of unique eco-tourism experiences.
There will be an emphasis on things to do and the De Hoop Collection is planning to introduce a large range of varied activities to cater for all of De Hoop’s visitors. These will include interpretive fynbos and rock pool walks, birding excursions, extensive hiking and mountain biking trails as well as beach based whale watching with a guide.
From camping and caravanning sites, affordable self-catering rondawels to luxurious self-catering cottages and five-star fully catered lodges, the De Hoop Collection has something for everyone.
