rich biodiversity and by over 70 kilometres of pristine
coastline. |

which has been restored to its former glory. The house
accommodates 6 people in 3 en suite bedrooms and offers
a fully catered lodge experience. The Fig Tree
Restaurant serves three meals a day as well as teas and
coffees and snacks throughout the day. Picnic baskets
are available for all day excursions into the park. |
| The Opstal area is a central base from which to
explore the reserve. De Hoop offers a complete and
diverse range of activities and experiences. As a
protected Marine Reserve, De Hoop offers one of the best
and most accessible locations to view whales in the
world. The diversity of eco-systems from the coast, sand
dunes, rare fynbos plants, wetlands and the Potberg
Mountains is enthralling to nature lovers. De Hoop
offers great opportunities for whale watching (including
the multi-day Whale trail), birding, hiking various day
walks, mountain biking along the many gravel roads,
horse riding or scenic game drives. Opstal also has a
tennis court, swimming pool and a boules courtyard.
Alternatively, lazing on the beach or snorkelling in one
of the many turquoise rock pools is simply another way
to pass a rewarding day. |
