Grootbos Nature Reserve, with its two 5-star lodges is a jewel of Cape ecotourism. The reserve is spectacularly situated on the fynbos and forest clad hills that overlook the whale-watching haven of Walker Bay.
Exclusive and secluded, guests are welcomed to a world that is filled with spectacular flora, miles of private beaches, and safe encounters with whales and Great White Sharks.
A wide variety of outdoor experiences from 4x4 Flower Safaris to horse riding, quad biking, caving and bird watching are enough to keep visitors occupied for days at a time. A favourite with families, nature lovers and those seeking a private retreat, Grootbos offers the perfect combination of style and luxury within its relaxed natural surroundings.
For families with children, the beautifully kept horse stables and outdoor play area with rabbits, ducks and other friendly farm animals provides hours of fun. And, there are special children’s programmes on offer.
End your day with a fine dining experience where the exquisite food is surpassed only by the exquisite views. Meals are prepared using freshly caught fish, succulent meats, and vegetables grown right on the reserve.
Suites at Grootbos feature balconies to watch the sunset, natural textures and colours to bring the harmony of nature inside, and spacious bathrooms to complete the feeling of luxury.
Garden Lodge is nestled amongst an enchanting Milkwood forest and each of the 11 freestanding suites are stylishly furnished with luxurious canopy beds, spacious en suite bathrooms, separate lounges with cosy fireplaces and private wooden decks with spectacular panoramic views. Also on offer at Garden Lodge are an elegant restaurant, spacious lounge, beauty salon, library and children’s entertainment room as well as a terrace and superb pool area for enjoying the views. Garden Lodge welcomes children of all ages.
At Forest Lodge 16 freestanding luxury suites are carefully embedded in the ancient Milkwood forest, accessed via an enchanted cobbled pathway beneath the forest canopy. Each suite is stylishly furnished to provide an exquisite blend of aesthetic beauty and supreme comfort. Cosy fireplaces, luxurious canopy beds and spacious bathrooms make this the ultimate romantic getaway. The Luxury Pool Suites offer spectacular private plunge pools and private decks.
The main lodge features a variety of elegant dining venues, a bar, lounge, curio shop and conference centre. Spacious wooden decks and an infinity pool beckon you to relax, unwind and enjoy the soothing tranquility. As the evening descends, cosy fireplaces and subtle lighting create a warm, romantic atmosphere for the perfect dining experience. At Forest Lodge children over the age of 12 years are welcome.
No matter the season or time of year, there is always something special to experience at Grootbos.

"We very much enjoyed our stay at Grootbos. The facilities were excellent, the setting and scenery absolutely spectacular and the staff kind and hospitable. The food was very good as well; they even baked us a birthday cake! We did some great activities including whale watching (landbased and by boat), horseback riding and long walks through the surrounding reserve. Our kids loved it! Definitely we can recommend the location."
