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!

We were surrounded by animals in the cutest cottage ever. Everything you needed with excellent opportunities to engage in nature.

Our family of five stayed in the Village Cottages. It was tastefully decorated, fairly clean and comfortable. The animals and birds at De Hoop are free to roam the grounds, and my kids found it amazing to see them up close. The restaurant offers a really good breakfast and made a decent cappuccino. The flora and fauna at De Hoop Nature Reserve, as well as the beach scapes are so unique and beautiful, a must see is the beach at Koppie Alleen and to visit Bites Cafe. The staff at De Hoop Collection, namely the guides and reception staff are incredibly professional and knowledgeable.

Planning our - family of four - SA trip the De Hoop Nature Reserve was only by accident on our trip for a sleepover. A clear mistake, although we travelled in winter time. The Vlei Cottages were lovely. You felt to be back in another century but the cottage was fully self equipped. The baboons and ostriches passed the cottage next to its terrasse, nature begun right one step ahead outside the cottage. Nature continues a further 20 min drive to the dunes and beaches, we saw the whales, nothing else to say as awesome. Can only advise to stay min. 2 nights. We had dinner at the restaurant, gourmet level.

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!
