Cape West Coast
Rocherpan Nature Reserve
Tucked away amid the untamed beauty of the West Coast lies the Rocherpan Nature Reserve, a tranquil haven just a two-hour drive from Cape Town. Surrounded by fynbos-covered dunes and the soothing melody of crashing waves, this sanctuary offers a respite from the chaos of city life. Designed by the acclaimed Justin Cooke, the cabins, each named after birds that frequent the area, complement the majestic surroundings. Embracing eco-consciousness, every cabin features its own outdoor water tank, solar-powered geyser and waterless toilet. Choose from cosy one-bedroom retreats or spacious two-bedroom havens. Activities abound, from swimming in the communal pool to exploring short hiking trails along the beach or vlei, while there’s also a kids’ playground, picnic areas and bird hides for wildlife enthusiasts.
