We were on an extended family vacation. My parents, my oldest brother & wife, my middle brother & me (we are all grown adults...I'm the baby @ 40). This was our second stop in south Africa. We had rented a car & drove ourselves there from downtown Cape Town. It was a longer drive & when we got there it... More

Words don't do justice to this place. It must be one of the most beautiful places on earth. It is ultra luxury from the moment you set foot on the reserve. The service is top notch, the views, accommodation and food spectacular and the spa treatments out of this world.

The stay at GrootBos was most definitely a high light of our travel to the Western Cape. Not only was the accommodation well appointed and extremely comfortable, the food was a memorable culinary experience. We found the staff to be extremely attentative and obliging making us feel really at home. The lodge is fortunately child friendly with our daughter appreciating... More

We had a wonderful two-nights stay at Grootbos. After a mere 2 1/2 hours drive from Cape Town, we were greeted with beautiful smiles and a glass of sparkling wine at the Garden Lodge. Taking in the beautiful views of the Walker Bay, we enjoyed some delicious lunch before settling into our luxury suite. We enjoyed the vast space of... More

We had a relaxing and enjoyable stay at Grootbos. The Garden Lodge was superb and food was brilliant. Enjoyed all the activities and went to see Forest Lodge which we will stay at next time. The views from both lodges are to die for.

Everything about this place is incredible. The view is stunning. The building is a design masterpiece. The rooms are incredible and the staff were perfect - barely noticed they were there but everything was done when needed. Just the best place I have ever stayed...

What a wonderful experience in the most awe inspiring setting. The views across Walker Bay from our accommodation on the Forest Lodge side of the hotel were simply breathtaking, with pristine white beach, a beautiful ocean and the most wonderful sunsets. But what makes Grootbos special most of all is the tranquility, underpinned by immaculate, attentive service that is always... More

If you are a fynbos fanatic then this is for you. If you like peace and quiet this is terrific. If you are the go-go type then maybe not, as going around in a 4X4 to look at 760 species of plants may seem boring. We stayed in separate spacious ultra-luxury chalets poking out of the bush-forest with great views... More
