Hopewell Conservation Estate
Overview & Capacity
Hopewell is the game-drive venue you can reach in half an hour - a 2,500-hectare estate off Cape Road, thirty minutes from the airport, with genuinely purpose-built conference space (The Sentry at 200 cinema / 160 banquet, plus a Day Centre) rather than a lodge lounge pressed into service. That proximity is unique among the Bay's reserves and makes it the natural pick for a vehicle launch that needs both a flat floor and open land to drive on. The safari side now trades as Nyosi under Mantis; the conference estate carries on as Hopewell. B&W books it for launches, year-ends and day conferences that want the bush without the two-hour transfer.
