William Stephens and Carl Trieloff opened\u00a0De Hoop Collection,\u00a0the first private-public partnership in the South African hospitality industry, in the spectacular setting of the De Hoop Nature Reserve in the Overberg region of the Western Cape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cape Nature\u2019s\u00a0flagship reserve \u2013 a\u00a0World Heritage site \u2013\u00a0offers visitors unparalleled peace and tranquility in what is probably one of the Cape\u2019s last unspoiled natural environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De Hoop Collection, a member of Cape Country Routes,\u00a0offers a range of budget-wise (and self-isolating) accommodation options, including the fully catered Cloete Suites in the original Opstal homestead, which was built in the 1800s.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from its unrivaled natural beauty, its comfortable accommodation, a myriad of activities \u2013 hiking and mountain biking trails, tennis, boules, interpretive marine walks \u2013 and being a paradise for birders with its more than 260 species of birds, the whale sightings at De Hoop make it stand out from its competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De Hoop is a protected marine area and is one of the world\u2019s best land-based whale-watching areas.\u00a0 Every year, some 40% of the world\u2019s southern right whales come to these shores to breed; De Hoop guarantees a safe nursery for these pods of visiting cetaceans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Says William, guests often leave with \u201cA feeling of being at one with nature and at peace with the world and as they leave, as friends, a cheery shout out that they will be back soon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
