The De Hoop Vlei MTB Experience: 

A 2 Day MTB Stage Race 

Dates: 13-15 June 2025

Venue: De Hoop Collection.

Rider Information:

This June, De Hoop Vlei MTB Experience will be presenting a competitive edge for mountain bike addicts and racing snakes.

The DHV MTB Experience is a boutique event, where riders can share the weekend with their partners, friends and family at the beautiful De Hoop Nature Reserve. 

De Hoop Collection lies at the southernmost tip of Africa, where mountains meet the sea. A vast and untamed setting of pristine coastline and dunes on the horizon, but with surprisingly challenging rock formations around the De Hoop Vlei, that provides for the perfect challenge for mountain bikers, hikers and adventure seekers. De Hoop Collection offers superb accommodation, warm hospitality and a family of staff members that compliments your stay!

The deal for the De Hoop Vlei MTB weekend, is that you and your riding partner/friends or family stay at De Hoop Collection for the whole weekend. Your entry includes all meals from Friday night, until Monday morning. 

Why stay the whole weekend at De Hoop Nature Reserve?

De Hoop Collection is a pristine marine and nature getaway destination that is secluded, and requires some travelling on gravel road, once you turn-off from Bredasdorp or the N2 from Swellendam. There are no alternative restaurants in close proximity, and the Nature Reserve requires entry conditions for guests on arrival at the Reserve. 

In other words, if you are not a local in the Bredasdorp area and surrounds, the only way to ensure that you will have everything sorted for yourself and your riding partner, and/or supporters, is to opt for the complete Entry package that includes all meals.

We will entertain you with a Wine Tasting, Evening functions, live music, social and prize giving evening get togethers - with the best food and vibe you will find at a Mountain Bike Boutique event!
