A Scenic Road Trip to De Hoop Nature Reserve
Our road trip from Cape Town to the De Hoop Nature Reserve was an unforgettable journey. Traveling with an 8-month-old, we were keen to experience the beauty of the Western Cape while ensuring the trip was family-friendly. Starting from Cape Town International, we headed along the renowned Garden Route, making stops at scenic spots such as Somerset West Strand Beach and Cape Agulhas. We finished off our drive with a quick detour to Hermanus, known for its whale watching, before reaching our final destination: the stunning De Hoop Collection.

With beautiful sculptures around ever corner and a black and gold "old money yet modern" aesthetic, it's the perfect spoil for a birthday or anniversary stay.
