CUISINE - FEAST ON THE EXPERIENCE
Knowing that our guests have enjoyed an active day in
the fresh air is all the encouragement needed to provide
the perfect meal to end a perfect day. Drawing
inspiration from the abundance of scents and colors in
nature around them, our chefs conjure up magical
combinations that replenish and inspire body and soul.
Fish caught on the day, succulent meats and fresh
home-grown vegetables are enhanced with flavours from
our flourishing herb garden.
"NEW GUESTS!” is the cheerful call
often heard in the lodge at Grootbos. Greeted with a
smile and welcomed with a glass of fine South African
sparkling wine, guests at Grootbos are made to feel
instantly special.
Two lodges, one great experience! The classic Garden
Lodge set in a lush indigenous surrounding is the ideal
family getaway. The new Forest Lodge with its
contemporary and modern style appeals to the
cosmopolitan traveler.
Feel welcome at a truly unique place where conservation
and relaxation have found the perfect home.
 
ACCOMMODATION - BACK TO NATURE - WITHOUT
COMPROMISE
Space, light and the time to enjoy them. Set among the
ancient milkwood trees, our large, private suites give
the guest a chance to unwind, surrounded by the
splendors of nature and pampered by all the comforts of
home.
Each suite has its own secluded balcony from which you
can admire the sunsets over the ocean or start the day
in tune with the forest birds. Natural textures and
colors bring the harmony of nature into your suite.
Spacious, finely appointed bathrooms complete the
feeling of utter luxury. Strolling between your suite
and the main lodge, winding pathways will guide you past
the largest milkwood forests in the world.
 
DISCOVER - SATURATE YOUR SENSES
Experience nature like never before. Let our expert
guides introduce you to the wonders of the fynbos.
Discover the fascinating relationships between the
insects, birds, mammals and flowering plants of this
diverse ecosystem. Smell the aromatic wild herbs, watch
for exquisite birds and be awed by the scenery that
surrounds you.
Take a meandering path through an ancient Milkwood
forest, where thousand-year-old trees send exploratory
branches in search of sunlight, or visit one of the
remnant Afro-montane forests on the reserve. Young and
old can explore this natural wonderland on foot or by
four-wheel drive vehicle, or take a horse ride to enjoy
the views from the elevation of a comfortable saddle on
a well schooled horse or pony.
MARINE - EYE TO EYE WITH OCEAN GIANTS
Our coastline offers a marine experience like no other.
See 40-ton Southern Right Whales only meters from your
boat. Travel to the island refuge of huge sea bird
colonies and admire the underwater antics of a 60 000
strong Cape Fur Seal colony. Be amazed by the awesome
spectacle of a great white shark breaking the surface
and transfixing you with an unblinking stare.
The cliffs of Walker Bay, right at our doorstep, offer
the best land based whale viewing in the world. Watch
spellbound as mothers, calves and energetic bulls come
to within 30 meters of the rocky shoreline.
 
FLORA - AN ADVENTURE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
Families discover countless adventures in a world with a
wealth of treasures. It may be found in a beach
excursion filled with a host of fun and games or an
exciting boat trip to visit seals, penguins and the
humbling giant of the ocean, the Southern Right Whale.
If you prefer to stay firmly land-based, a rich choice
of nature based activities are available. Children help
feed the animals and enjoy riding lessons on the paddock
and outride through the reserve.

EXCITING NATURE STORIES WITH YOU
THE CAPE'S FLORAL ENVIRONMENT
... is one of a kind. Nowhere else is plant life more
diverse. Grootbos Nature Reserve conserves 1700 hectares
of pristine fynbos, the Cape’s unique vegetation type.
Within our borders lies a wealth of more than 650
species of indigenous plants. Huge stands of extravagant
proteas paint the hillsides and bulbs burst into flower
after fire. Pollination, seed dispersal and germination
- there is always something happening and a story to be
told. Our expert botanical guides will open your eyes to
the intricacies of the fynbos ecosystems and leave you
with another lasting impression of the wonders of
nature.
