Morokuru Beach Lodge is a luxury and intimate boutique eco-lodge located in the 36,000 ha De Hoop Nature Reserve. Voted ‘Best Resort in South Africa’ in the 2020 Conde Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards, this is one of our favourite properties for anyone looking for some slightly ‘alternative’ beach time following a safari or a visit to Cape Town. For those wishing to explore the Garden Route on a self-drive, do not miss out with a 3 night stay at Morokuru for your first stop – De Hoop is just a 3 hour drive from Cape Town. The lodge is made up of 1 Honeymoon Suite and 4 Ocean View Suites,,but there is also a stunning 4 bedroom Ocean House available to take exclusively on the same stretch of coastline. While days could easily be spent at Morokuru Beach Lodge soaking up the endless views of coastal wilderness, there are also all sorts of activities on offer including mountain-biking, fynbos walks, tidal walks, snorkelling, sand-boarding and nature drives. One of the top attractions in the winter months (July-October) is land based whale-watching as the lodge sits right on the Southern Right Whale migration route.
The positioning of the Morukuru Family Lodges is truly awe-inspiring, with incredible scenic beauty thanks to the riverine forest along the banks of the Marico River, the red Kalahari soil and the vast open glass land plains, all being bordered in the South by the picturesque Dwarsberg Mountains.
