De Hoop Collection

Amazing nature and variety of activities, this was out 4th time at the reserve. Whale watching was one of the best in my life and could spend a day at the shore. Great addition of the upgraded restaurant and new coffee shop at the beach.

State of the road especially once one checks in at reception , surely there are enough natural materials to fill up all the big potholes. New coffee shop at the beach lacks good coffee and variety of non alcoholic drinks is poor.

l'odore dei cottage. si sente molto l'odore di umidità/polevre moquette, anche se il cottage era molto pulito

We really enjoyed our stay at The Hoop Collection. It’s a proper countryside-style accommodation, so it’s more rustic and has fewer comforts than a typical hotel, but that’s also part of its charm. You do need to light the wood-burning stove to warm the house, although the heated blankets on the beds were a great touch and made the nights very comfortable. The location is definitely the highlight. Koppie Alleen beach is incredible, and being inside the reserve with all the wildlife around makes the experience very special. We also loved having a braai outside and enjoying the amazing night sky.

The tranquility.The swimming pools.The meal at the restaurant.The drive and views at Koppie Aleen.The animals roaming in the grounds.

The roads to the resort were terrible. Not fit for ordinary sedan car. No complimentary wood in cottage. No beer glasses in cottage. Single beds were in tiny second bedroom too small for suitcases. Could not open door fully. No fans in cottage . Reception staff fairly abrupt and disinterested. Hike on red route was not marked got lost easily. Cape Nature needs to look at what private farms can supply at a lower price.
