  • A perfect slice of nature all to yourself

    It is rare to find a place that is so isolated, yet so entirely nurturing. Perched up on the dunes, this intimate lodge offers a glimpse in to the Indigenous people who once subsisted here on this rich coastline.

  • An oasis close to Cape Town

    We had been wanting to go to the De Hoop Reserve for a long time and were so blown away by the experience. The whole feel of Lekkerwater is about being at home and it feels that way! We also enjoyed the fynbos walk, and the beach walk, which were very informative.
