De Hoop Melkkamer House and Cottages is situated in the beautiful De Hoop Nature Reserve. The sandstone buildings on the opposite side of the vlei are known as ‘Melkkamer’. This remote and exclusive homestead is a 40 minute drive from the Opstal area of the De Hoop Collection, and boasts 3 units dating from the late 1800’s.

There is no electricity and all the units have gas-powered appliances, with candlelight and lanterns adding to the romance and charm of this unique area. A generator is available for the Melkkamer Manor House and Melkkamer Foremans Cottage, and is switched on at pre-determined times for the convenience of guests.

All 3 cottages are fully equipped for self-catering or guests can drive around for dinner to the Fig Tree Restaurant at the Opstal. Please note that booking a table for dinner is essential. For those who prefer to self-cater, kindly ensure you have adequate supplies, as the nearest towns are an hour’s drive away.

De Hoop Nature Reserve offers sea, sand dunes, the vlei, a floral sensation of rare fynbos plants, diverse antelope, and the Potberg mountains. Birders can observe wading birds on the shores of the vlei, while the Potberg mountains are home to a colony of endangered Cape vultures. Hikers and cyclists can enjoy close-up encounters with bontebok, Cape mountain zebra, eland, baboons, and ostrich. Guests can choose between various day walks through the rich fynbos plains or along the deserted coastline, mountain biking along the many gravel roads or scenic game drives. Lazing on the beach and snorkelling in the turquoise rock pools is another activity guests can enjoy. There is a tennis court, a swimming pool, and a boules courtyard.
