De Hoop Nature Reserve, Garden Route, South Africa
  • An exclusive, tranquil and private property surrounded by beaches and sand dunes which is ideal for both families or small groups of friends

  • A truly unique private house which has been cleverly designed to effortlessly blend into its breath-taking location, the De Hoop costal reserve

  • Four well-appointed en-suite bedrooms, which each have stunning ocean views

  • There is an abundance of activities on offer from sand surfing, rock pooling, snorkelling, and mountain biking to star-gazing and enjoying a sundowner in the dunes


Morukuru Ocean House is a private house so you have complete privacy and the choice to plan each day as it comes. Each of the four bedrooms have en suite bathrooms and spectacular ocean views. There is also a small study which can be converted into a children's bedroom with bunk beds. The interiors of the property are modern and tasteful and the colour scheme has been inspired by the fynbos dunes. The house itself is set just back from a 51 kilometre long pristine white sand beach back by limestone cliffs and coastal fynbos, and has been built so it operates on 100% solar power and with an eco-friendly and sustainable focus.

Morukuru Ocean House offers a unique view over one of Africa's largest whale nurseries and from mid-July through to November you can enjoy the views of the southern right whales as they migrate towards the coastal basins off the Overberg Coast for the calving and nursing season.

At Morukuru, you can choose to do as much or as little as you wish. Take advantage of the beautiful surroundings with guided walks and hikes, bike rides, sand boarding, picnics, cave tours, quad biking and 4x4 fynbos safaris. Alternatively, spend the day relaxing by the pool and enjoy a BBQ on the veranda. Morukuru Ocean House is the perfect location to relax with family and friends in complete privacy in an entirely unique setting.
