Every Morukuru Ocean House meal feels like a special occasion. On moonlit nights, you may find your table set up under a starlit sky overlooking the Ocean. Naturally you enjoy 100% access to your kitchen – it’s your home after all – but cooking is certainly not on the cards, unless you’re a committed foodie, or would like a personal cooking demonstration. Your personal Chef will converse with you before each meal in order to prepare to your taste and interest and served how, where and when you want. No dietary requirement is too onerous. The house wine selection is excellent but winelovers will find heaven in the Morukuru Ocean House cellars: stocked with some of South Africa’s finest wines, many of the bottles here are collector’s items purchased at the celebrated Nederburg Auction or at the Cape Winemakers Guild, and simply unavailable to purchase anywhere else but here.

Launched in February 2023, Bites Beach Café in the historical white cottage at Koppie Alleen down at the beach in front of Morukuru Beach Lodge is open to all guests (including day visitors in De Hoop Nature Reserve) between 10AM and 4PM daily. The kitchen closes at 3PM. Guests can enjoy drinks and casual beach style food including pizzas, salads, burgers and fish. In the evenings Bites Beach Café is used exclusively for Morukuru Family De Hoop guests with special African themed dinner nights for guests at Morukuru Beach Lodge or Morukuru Ocean House.
