Neighbourhood information

Few other reserves offer as complete an outdoor experience as De Hoop – sea, sand dunes, the vlei, a floral sensation of rare fynbos plants, diverse antelope and the Potberg Mountains. Birders observe wading birds on the shores of the vlei while the Potberg Mountains are home to a colony of endangered Cape vultures. Hikers and cyclists have close-up encounters with bontebok, Cape mountain zebra, eland, baboons and ostrich. De Hoop Collection's footprint in the reserve is separated by the spectacular De Hoop Vlei - a 19km Ramsar Site. On the north side of the Vlei is the Opstal Area where the bulk of the accommodation and facilities are. And on the opposite side of the Vlei, is Melkkamer - a homestead dating from the 1800's.
