Less than 2 hours from Cape Town, Grootbos lies in a large private nature reserve overlooking Walker Bay. With panoramic mountain and ocean views, this friendly eco-lodge offers the best land based whale watching in the world and is surrounded by pristine fynbos and ancient milkwood trees. Ideal for nature lovers who prefer ‘eco’ of the five star variety, Grootbos consists of 2 lodges with 11 and 16 suites respectively. There are one or two bedroom stone cottages with separate sitting rooms, en suite bathrooms, outdoor showers and private balconies facing the ocean sunset. More staff than guests guarantees exceptional service, while award winning wines, local produce and organic vegetables from the garden are the perfect antidote to fresh air induced appetites. With Southern right whale cavorting, calving and mating in the breakers just offshore, seasonal whale watching from land or ocean is exceptional. A host of other activities include boat trips to view Cape fur seal, dolphin and African penguin, shark cage diving, horse riding, nature trails through the fynbos and its amazing bird and wildlife, beach expeditions or simply stargazing and reminiscing about the wonders of South Africa’s coast and its magnificent inhabitants. The latest addition to the Grootbos portfolio is the luxury villa hidden in the natural wonderland of the reserve with six elegant suites, a private butler, chef and guide. The villa is for exclusive use only and is truly one of the most luxurious in South Africa.
