Arriving at Grootbos you will immediately be charmed by its magic. Grootbos is in the heart of the Cape Floral Kingdom overlooking the whale watching haven of Walker Bay. Two hours from Cape Town, two impressive Lodges, Forest and Garden, have been built in harmony with the natural surroundings.
Garden Lodge lies in an indigenous garden with incredible ocean views and each suite is nestled amongst age-old trees and your private sundeck affords views that will take your breath away. Forest Lodge is an architectural masterpiece with panoramic views and each suite provides complete privacy. Relaxation is easy with a light-filled lounge, spacious bathroom, airy bedroom and large outside deck with breathtaking views of the ever-changing ocean and African sky.
Creative cuisine using home-grown organic vegetables and the freshest local produce is complemented by fine local wines. Dedicated conservationists accompany guests daily on awe-inspiring excursions to explore the flora, fauna, bird and marine life of the area by foot, on horseback or in open 4x4 vehicles.
From June to December marvel at the Southern Right Whales which may be viewed from the rocky cliffs, pure white beaches, by boat or light airplane. State-of-the-art conference venue. TGCSA 5-Star Lodge
