Summary

Eco-luxury and sustainable tourism go hand-in-hand in this award-winning reserve, set in 2,500 acres of indigenous fynbos forest overlooking Walker Bay.

Two five-star lodges house a selection of rooms and suites, each with its own deck or patio and great views across the Bay, and there is also the exclusive & magnificent Villa, which offers six suites, a butler, chef and guide. Grootbos is a nature lover’s delight with the forest, the beach and the ocean and a plethora of activities to explore each one, including hikes and caged shark dives, whale-watching and horse-riding on the beach.

  • World’s finest whale-watching
  • Spa treatments
  • Family Suites
  • Two swimming pools
  • Special children’s programme

A proper ‘green’ property, with the local community and environment genuinely benefitting from its existence. The wildlife enthusiast will love the whale-watching, shark-diving and horse-riding, and the modern suites & spa will keep the sybarite happy. Ask, if possible, to have dinner in the underground cellar. 

  • On 3 and 4 night stays guests can choose 2 complimentary activities that would normally be paid for. Activities include Whale watching trips, guided walks, quad biking, birding trips and horse riding.
