Stop taking pictures start making memories One of the most memorable vacation spots we’ve ever been to. Where to begin? There is so much good to tell about lekkerwater beach lodge. First of all the location. Remote but definitely worth it. No distractions, no planes, no boats, no noise except the fantastic ocean crushing away. The team of lekkerwater made us feel at home the minute we arrived and saw to it that no wish was left unfullfilled. Because the lodge is so small and private, you get to know the people who live and work at the lodge quite well, which increased the feeling of being amongst friends. The wildlife and the tours to the rock pools and into the gorges where just amazing. We took every opportunity to visit the fascinating nature all around us led by the super knowledgeable guides of lekkerwater. As the title of this review implies we refrained from taking our smartphones and gadgets with us on those tours. We chose to take it all in and enjoy it with our own eyes. We might have less photos but we definitely have more significant impressions of what was going on around us. We strongly advise you to do the same and don’t miss out on any chance of experiencing it. There is so much to see. How our guide Matt put it: “You can’t take a step without stepping on something alive” The private beach cabins were lovely and cosy. The bed was warm and comfy. Everything clean and decorated with an eye for details. Absolutely nothing to complain about. Prepare to sleep like a rock. The soothing sounds of the ocean will put you to sleep in no time. The water takes a minute before it gets warm but we didn’t mind. We weren’t missing a bathtub either. The water comes from a freshwater well that was drilled for the lodge and gets pumped by solar power to a tank that supplies the entire lodge. The whole operation focuses on sustainability and reducing waste in any form. This does not in any way reduce the capabilities of the kitchen in any way. We were simply spoiled by the food and the very attentive team. Definitely bring appetite. It is simply astonishing how it’s possible to create such good dishes in a small place like the lekkerwater. We were surprised. You’ll be as well. Before this review gets even longer we want to thank the entire lekkerwater team from the bottom of our hearts for an absolutely unforgettable time. We are already homesick for the place. We will come back. Promise.

Lekkerwater Lodge popped up on my Facebook and we decided to give it a go as we had been wanting to go to the De Hoop Reserve for a long time. Nicely surprised by the nice rooms, comfortable lounge, and great kitchen! We spent 3 nights there, and the food was excellent. The guide, Billy, does a fantastic G&T sundowner down at the beach on the first evening. The whole feel of Lekkerwater is about being at home, and with only 6 units, it is never too busy and you can socialise with the other guests (or not). We also enjoyed the fynbos walk, and the beach walk, which were very informative and while we didn't swim in the sea, we had an extremely relaxing time. This is perfect for a romantic weekend break or for a long weekend, only 3 hours' drive from Cape Town. Be aware though, that the drive includes about 60km of gravel road, most of which is in very good condition. But the last 15km from the De Hoop gate to the lodge's parking lot is not really suitable for low-slung sedans, SUVs would be preferable.

Denna lugna och fantastiska strand är en riktig pärla som jag skulle älska att besöka om och om igen. Den fridfulla atmosfären är perfekt för avkoppling och att njuta av den naturliga skönheten som omger dig. Jag är också ivrig att prova fiskelyckan under mitt nästa besök, eftersom det verkar vara den perfekta aktiviteten för att komplettera den lugna miljön. Sammanfattningsvis är denna strand en måste-besöka destination för alla som söker en fridfull och uppfriskande flykt.

Stranden är uppfriskande enkel och orörd, vilket ger en orörd atmosfär som är verkligen anmärkningsvärd. Det är en helt fantastisk destination som säkert kommer att lämna dig känna dig förnyad och vitaliserad.

Stranden erbjuder utmärkta bekvämligheter, inklusive ett avkopplande område och en grillplats, tillsammans med en tidvattenpool i närheten där barnen kan ha roligt. Dessutom finns det badvakter på plats för extra säkerhet.

Mycket trevliga faciliteter, vila och grill med tidvattenspool i närheten för barnen att njuta av samt livräddare...

Den här stranden är fantastisk och blir inte för trång, dessutom har den några fantastiska vyer.

Den här stranden är en av de bästa fiskeplatserna och det bästa är att den är öppen för allmänheten gratis. Det är en fantastisk plats att koppla av, suga åt sig solen och fånga några fiskar. Starkt rekommenderat för alla som söker en fridfull dag vid vattnet.
