- The Scene:
- Morukuru Ocean House is situated inside De Hoop Nature Reserve, a mere 5-10 minutes walk from several beaches. The house offers panoramic views of the Indian Ocean in front, as well as of the surrounding Fynbos vegetation. De Hoop Nature Reserve offers 51 km of pristine beaches and dunes, as well as limestone cliffs, rock pools, wetlands and the coastal Fynbos.
- Design:
- The house was designed using the surrounding nature as the main source of inspiration. The thick walls are made from local stone and the double glazed windows offer perfect insulation. Several striking interior elements have been specifically designed for Morukuru Ocean House. The bar/lounge area on the top floor offers a 360-degree view, thanks to sliding glass walls all around. The house is powered entirely by solar energy, the battery bank directing power where needed. Oven heat from the wood-fired ‘Esse’ stove in the kitchen is recycled to supply heat for the underfloor heating and provide hot water for the showers. The stove utilises wood from the clearing of alien vegetation after which indigenous vegetation is re-established. State-of-the-art grey water systems essentially eliminate wastewater issues. The ‘green story’ started when we decided to build the house. We took cuttings from all the plants that had to be moved and cultivated those cuttings in a greenhouse.
- Standout Venue Features:
- What really sets Morukuru Ocean House apart is the fantastic and private location on the beach in De Hoop Nature Reserve, with endless views of the Indian Ocean and the whales (June-October) from anywhere in or around the house.
