Grootbos Private Nature Reserve
Grootbos Private Nature Reserve is situated half an hour outside of Hermanus, on the Fynbos and forest clad hills, overlooking the whale watching haven of Walker Bay and Gansbaai. Home to the Marine Big Five - whales, dolphins, seals, penguins and Great White Sharks - and with unparalleled biodiversity, Grootbos has carved a unique niche in the upmarket eco-lodge sector.
The two luxury designed lodges offer a selection of one and two bedroom suites with superb sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and indigenous fynbos gardens. The latest addition to the Grootbos portfolio is a luxury villa, hidden in the natural wonderland of the reserve with 6 elegant suites, a private butler, chef and guide, and views of the whale-watching haven of Walker Bay.
Grootbos boasts mouth-watering gourmet cuisine, using only the freshest, locally-sourced produce, complimented by a fine selection of local wines.
There is an amazing variety of experiences for you to enjoy during your stay. Specialist guides lead 4x4 drives and walks through the fynbos and forests of the reserve; enjoy a trip to the nearby coast to view the Southern Right Whales from land or join a boat-based trip for a closer look; or simply walk along deserted beaches.
As well as luxury accommodation, rates at Grootbos include all meals and various land-based activities.
2 hours by car from Cape Town International Airport.
