Fabulous location which is made extra special by the team of friendly and professional staff. Everyone seems so happy in their work and goes out of their way to look after the guests. Food is amazing and the activities were all good. Lino guided us through the fynbos and the gallery.

Supreme luxury in the most beautiful natural environment. Our stay was sublime from the welcome drink to the last farewell at the nursery purchasing some fynbos plants. Jono was an extremely informative and friendly guide who was willing to answer all my questions with a smile. Every meal was a cullinary experience inspired by the surrounding fynbos... a fine dining delight. The whole experience was magical and the Fynbos safaris a big highlight for me.

Wow, we still can’t quite believe we have been lucky enough to visit such a beautiful and captivating place. From the moment we walked into reception to the second we left we were spellbound by the views and location of the property. On top of this the staff were incredible, Jono our guide made our stay. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about his job we came away with a good understanding of the fynbos and the Grootbos foundations goals. We stayed in Forrest lodge, our room was perfect, a refreshing pool for the day and a wood burning fire perfect for a glass of wine in the evening. Everything was catered for and really well decorated. The service, food and wine is impeccable, Piwe our host us surprised us with a private birthday dinner for my husband in the wine cellar. what a treat! Her warm and friendly service topped off our stay. Everything about Grootbos amazed us, we certainly would love to book again and for more than 2 nights so we could enjoy more of the activities that are on offer.

We have visited Grootbos a number of times (5!) and have fallen in love with everything the place has to offer every single time. This includes the spectacular location, the beautifully appointed rooms, the service (we still fondly remember Fortunate amongst many others!), the spa, the beach and the absolutely delicious food. Can’t wait to go back!

We stayed for 6 nights at Grootbos, and had the most wonderfully active but chilled time. Special thanks to Michelle and the team at the on-site stables for our daily rides on their gorgeous horses. The horse-care was impeccable as was attention to healthy and safety of the riders. Michelle was amazing at matching horses and ride-plan to the rider ability, and as experienced riders we were as delighted as some of the less experienced/beginners that the team caters for. Our guide was really fun and knowledgable which really added to our enjoyment and learning about the local history, flora and fauna! The food was also a highlight, and the service team were incredibly thoughtful.
