Grootbos Nature Reserve, Gansbaai, Cape Overberg
Grootbos Nature Reserve offers award winning 5-star accommodation, set in magnificent scenery above Walker Bay. The stylish architecture and décor blends in with the fynbos clad hills, the breath-taking sea and dune views and offers 27 luxury designed suites and 1 exclusive villa with every comfort.
Grootbos is at the heart of the local marine eco-tourism of Gansbaai. Whale watching, shark cage diving, boat trips to see the seals, dolphins and birds or fishing are all close-by. Enjoy the many trails with specialist guides that will convey to you the wonders of our unique flora and fauna along walking trails, on horseback or mountain bike, or in a 4×4 vehicle.
Only 2 hours from Cape Town, the reserve boasts some of the world’s most distinct and unique plant, bird and animal species. Grootbos Private Nature Reserve has been the recipient of numerous awards over the years for both our luxury accommodation and conservation efforts. We are very proud of each of these achievements as they are confirmation of our efforts to create a unique and truly amazing eco-tourism experience.
There are two restaurants at Grootbos, each with their own character, but equally fine cuisine and wine list. Both restaurants boast high beamed ceilings and windows galore to fuse with nature – maximising the sense of open space and spectacular views across Walker Bay and mesmerizing sunsets. Open fireplaces and soft lighting create cosy warmth in winter. Open decks and pool areas provide outdoor bliss and beauty in summer.
Children visiting Grootbos are very important individuals, with their own ideas and desires. We understand this and therefore take great care to keep our little guests happy! At Grootbos Nature Reserve the children’s activities are not just activities they are a combination of education and fun in our wonderful natural setting.
