Morukuru Beach Lodge
About the hotel
Morukuru Beach Lodge is set within one of Africa’s most beautiful coastal reserves, De Hoop Nature Reserve in the Overberg region. Idyllic sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs, turquoise waters and abundant flora and fauna create the perfect setting to leave everyday life behind and unwind together as a family. The two family suites are charmingly and timelessly styled with a maritime feel, opening onto sweeping panoramic views of the Indian Ocean, the striking fynbos landscape and pristine white dunes. Morning coffee or an evening glass of wine tastes all the better on the balcony.
Kids & Teens
Morukuru Beach Lodge is thoughtfully designed around the needs of children and families. On arrival, children receive their own "Morukuru Kidz" backpack filled with fun and useful treats: wildlife cards, activity books and much more, all offering interactive and playful insights into flora and fauna, birds and Africa more broadly. There are also child-focused activities such as baking biscuits, marine walks and board games. The lodge is part of the Morukuru Family, created especially for families and groups of friends travelling together. Children of all ages are warmly welcomed in all houses.
Experiences & Activities
At Morukuru Beach Lodge, your family can enjoy a wide range of experiences in this beautiful setting: watch whales and dolphins directly from the shore, set out on guided walks through De Hoop Nature Reserve or explore the fascinating intertidal zone on a beach walk. Particularly striking are the picturesque sunsets, best enjoyed during a relaxed picnic on the beach. Bites Beach Café offers wonderful spots overlooking the sea, and with a little luck, passing whales too. The menu is pleasingly relaxed, with everything from salads and seafood to pizza and burgers.
