“The homey atmosphere was great! Spacious rooms with ample natural light. I enjoyed the view of either the ocean or the green fields from anywhere in the house. The host was extremely helpful and friendly.
The braai and bar area created the perfect setup for the rugby WorldCup final! And the balcony provided magnificent seats for the show the whales provided. Wow what a great weekend, thank you!”
“From the outdoor shower you had a nice view over the river and some animals drinking there at sunset. Some of the Rondavels have that view , too, ours had some bushes in the way. There is a sink, a fridge and some kitchen equipment in the Rondavels.”
“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!”
“We were absolutely amazed by our stay in our DeHoop Collection Cottage. When we arrived we saw so many animals (zebras, ostriches, antelopes...) on the green surrounding the cottages, the children were in awe. We had a great three course dinner and breakfast in the Fig Tree restaurant, which we can absolutely recommend. We also rented some mountainbikes and did a nice tour. Unfortunately, we stayed only for one night. Next time, we would definitely stay longer.”
