A HIDDEN GEM ON THE GARDEN ROUTE
Situated in the heart of the De Hoop Nature Reserve on the iconic Garden Route lies the Morukuru Beach Lodge. Part of Relais & Chateaux, the Morukuru Beach Lodge offers a luxurious and exclusive oceanfront escape for those on a self-drive adventure along the Garden Route or for those looking to relax at the halfway point between Cape Town and Knysna.
Voted as ‘South Africa’s Leading Beach Hotel’ by the World Travel Awards consecutively between 2020 to 2023, the Morukuru Beach Lodge is comprised of five bedrooms, each of which is equipped with huge bay windows that overlook the crashing waves of the Indian Ocean, the natural shrubland fynbos and pure white-sand dunes. The five rooms include two Ocean View Family Suites and two Ocean View Suites that feature their own private balconies, as well as the secluded Honeymoon Suite with its own private deck and outdoor bathtub.
The De Hoop Nature Reserve is a great place for those seeking an immersive and adventurous coastal nature experience. Sandboard across the white-sand dunes, hike and cycle along the stunning nature trails, embark on a whale watching excursion for the Southern Right Whales visiting from Antarctica and end your days with a leisurely sunset stroll along the spectacular South African shoreline.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
The destinations were fabulous, but what really stood out was the care and patience Tania showed as she guided me and my sister through every question and hesitation. Nothing felt rushed or too much trouble. The result? A truly wonderful holiday. Thank you.
