    It’s an environment friendly hotel. This is one of the best hotels I’ve ever seen. The view is unbelievable beautiful, the staff is very friendly and the food is amazing. The activities are very very interesting, marine walk, hiking trails and much more. The hotel has a very high service level. The rooms are absolute nice, so nice interiors and a lovely atmosphere. I love the concept!

    It was fantastic! We spent three nights with our family in the connecting family suites. Food delicious, staff very sweet. And then the whales. We saw these jumping and swimming all day long. Very special. There is no other place where this experiences this. The sand surfing was also a fantastic experience!

    Graciously tucked away in the De Hoop Nature Reserve, this dream destination offers more than an escape, or a relaxing break away. When you visit Morukuru Family De Hoop you feel like you’re home, at one with nature and as if time stands still, and really none of your trivial daily stress feels relevant anymore. Perhaps it’s the beautifully scenic winding sand road that leads you to this hidden gem along the most beautiful shoreline and fynbos covered landscape. Perhaps it’s the peacefulness that captures you, but let me tell you, it’a something you only feel when you experience it for yourself. Everything about this place is beyond 5 star! From the staffs’ warm and enthusiast spirits, that exhibit that no request is too much trouble, to the superb service and cleanliness all round. We loved how kitted out the activities room was with all the marine shoes and equipment, and sand boards you could ask for. The boys sand boarded for hours on end and had their boards waxed by the staff many times over, with no objection or need to hurry them along. Every effort is made to ensure that each activity is enjoyable and fascinating, led by our guide Corne who is impressively knowledgeable about all things fauna and flora surrounding the resort. The food is a culinary journey of flavours that keeps you wondering what they’ll whip up for the next meal, and you’re never disappointed. The dining areas are so well decorated and extremely cozy, flaunting the most magnificent views, and alfresco dining for breakfast and lunch. Your daily schedule is carefully curated factoring in weather, tides and the wind so that you experience the best that Morukuru has to offer. Every detail is thought of with small gifts and extra special touches, and at the hint of the boys asking when they can sand board again, Corne promised to take them to the long dunes, which believe me is no easy feat for the guide (or parents), entailing long, steep walks up a dune, straight into strong winds, carrying all the equipment, but yet again, nothing is too much effort for this incredible team. The boys said it was the best weekend of their lives and if they could time travel they would keep going back to the day they arrived so they could live here forever! I must agree, I would be a very happy person living in this little piece of paradise too.

    Amazing location, staff and food. Definitely coming back to see the whales. Superior large room with fantastic views. Their attention to detail is highly commendable.

    This place is magical! Location is unique - rooms and house are beyond beautiful and the staff is doing everything to make you feel home from the first second you enter the beach lodge. This is the perfect getaway and we cannot wait to come back soon! We have been to many beautiful places but this one is beyond everything we saw so far. We cannot recommend Morukuru beach lodge enough - you have to experience it yourself!

    Heaven on earth. Or do you know a place where there are more whales than guests? And this with 5 star hospitality. A place to come back!

    The best hotel/service I have experienced. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Thanks for a memorable time!

    The Bites restaurant served us lunch and teas after a walk. The catch of the day was good as was the hake with excellent seasonal vegetables. Service was good. Not too busy for a Saturday.

  • 5/5 Khalid A. 9 months ago on Google
    Loved it so far. The road to it is a great experience. It is off-road drive for more than 50 km. Drive safely. Moreover, this place is like a magic kingdom. Your wishes are answered. The guides are superb people with a mission to make your stay pleasant. They are people with passion to know you and help you. Good job guys. We will be back. Everyone works here like ghosts, you leave for minutes then comeback to find everything tidy and clean.
