About This Property
Grootbos Garden Lodge is a 5-star lodge in the Grootbos Private Nature Reserve. It is built from local sandstone and sustainable timber, with suites spaced out and screened by gardens between fynbos and a milkwood forest.
It is designed for families. You can explore the reserve on nature walks, drives and horse rides, and between June and December head down to the beach to see southern right whales. Children have treasure hunts, shell collecting and other activities, and there is babysitting.
Why We Love It
We love how easy it makes a family stay, with two-bedroom suites, a children’s club and a pool terrace facing the Walker Bay sunset.
The Grootbos Foundation’s fynbos and community work adds real depth.
