De Hoop Nature Reserve Whale Trail

Reviewed By WJP89 - Ottawa, Canada

My wife and I took our 12 year old son to de Hoop Nature Reserve in November 2019. We stayed at the de Hoop Collection in Opstal Cottage #4 - an equipped cottage that suited us perfectly. I can't say enough good things about this place. It may be a bit off the beaten track, but the drive is well worth the effort. Actually, my wife and I had been to de Hoop in 2005, and at that time the cottages were vacant as far as I can recall - we camped with the baboons! This time it was pure luxury by comparison, with a well-appointed cottage and a very decent dining room (the Fig Tree) where we could have dinner. We went to the beach (Koppie Aleen) three times, and each visit was worth the drive. We saw loads of wildlife including a puff adder on the roadway one morning, several big land tortoises, many, many bonteboks, elands, ostriches and of course baboons,the rare Namaqua Sand-grouse, and much more. We also took the boat tour on the vlei, which was really worth the price. We had great looks at greater and lesser flamingos, great white pelicans, cape teal, and several clawless otters among other things. A few useful notes - if you like to look for birds, there is a good farm pond about 15km from the turnoff after you leave the tar road on your way to de Hoop where you can look for flamingos, ducks, storks, herons, blue cranes, and other water-loving birds. The Fig Tree restaurant is really nice with indoor and outdoor seating, and very good service. Prices are reasonable. You can bring your own wine to the Fig Tree for a modest corkage fee, so remember that if you are doing a winery tour on your way to de Hoop. Don't forget to reserve meals and activities in advance. The curio shop sells a very good guide to the reserve for R20, and you should just buy one as soon as you arrive (or even see if you can have one sent to you before you travel). If you have a Wild Card, it ought to cover your conservation fees even though this is a Cape Nature reserve. The cottages get besieged by gnats at night if you leave your lights on, so bring headlamps or flashlights to help you get around inside your cottage after dark. You can buy coffee, cold drinks, and snacks at the beach at Koppie Aleen, and there are picnic tables there as well.
