Grootbos Private Nature Reserve
Experience nature like never before at the Grootbos Private Nature Reserve. Let expert guides introduce you to the wonders of the fynbos, or discover the fascinating relationships between the insects, birds, mammals and flowering plants of this diverse ecosystem. 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. You can explore this natural wonderland on foot or by 4-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.
The cliffs of Walker Bay, right on the doorstep, offer the best land based whale viewing in the world. Watch spellbound as these gentle giants of the ocean come to within 30 metres of the rocky shoreline.
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 colours bring the harmony of nature into your suite. Spacious, finely appointed bathrooms complete the feeling of utter luxury.
