With 34,000 hectares of sweeping coastline, wildlife-rich fynbos, and dramatically undulating sand dunes, the De Hoop Nature Reserve has rightly earned its World Heritage Site status – and yet it remains largely undiscovered. You’ll find no better place from which to explore these untouched wilds than at Morukuru Beach Lodge. With the scenery here being an important part of your stay, every aspect of the lodge is designed to bring the beauty of the outside world indoors. This includes the spacious private balconies for viewing the ocean, the tasteful earth and marine tones which channel your coastal surroundings, and the oceanic artworks adorning the suites and social areas.
All suites have their own walk-in rain showers, separate bathtubs, and double vanities, as well as private balconies overlooking the vibrant fynbos or Indian Ocean. The Honeymoon Suite is especially inviting, being the most secluded room and boasting its own hot tub. For even more space, take yourself to any of the numerous living areas dotted around the lodge. The outdoor courtyard is a tranquil haven with a shaded dining area – ideal for alfresco lunches. Additionally, its sun-drenched terrace is perfect for basking on a daybed or taking a quick dip in either the swimming pool or jacuzzi. The indoor dining room and bar area is where you’ll be able to watch the sparkling Indian Ocean as the sun sets, while enjoying a delicious cocktail and admiring the eye-catching art adorning the ceiling.
