One of the most beautiful spots in the western cape - the perfect place for a family to unwind with lots of activities to keep everyone occupied and a great childcare club. The food and wine is also amazing. The views and the rooms can’t be beaten, lots of room especially if you have little ones sharing with you.

The best hotel we have ever stayed in! Another excellent stay at Grootbos. Every detail is thought of in this amazing place. The people, the surroundings and in particular, for us at least, the kids club are all fantastic! I'm busy planning our next excuse to return and cannot wait!

We stayed at Grootbos for two nights as a family of four and from the moment we arrived we were absolutely blown away. The setting is breathtaking, with incredible views, and the rooms are beautiful, spacious and very comfortable The service throughout our stay was exceptional: every member of staff was warm, attentive and genuinely caring. The food was outstanding at every meal, with plenty of choice and thoughtful touches for the children too The activities were a real highlight for us, We loved the 4x4 drives and horse riding, which were both exciting and very family friendly. Our guide Jono was fantastic and made every experience so much fun for both us and the kids, while also sharing lots of interesting information about the nature and surroundings Grootbos is a very special place and we would highly recommend it to any family looking for a luxurious, memorable and truly unique stay.

Recently stayed at Grootbos and loved every minute of it. The suites and lodge are wonderful, and the food is superb. We enjoyed all of the staff, and our sight seeing excursions were excellent. I wish we had had a couple more days there.
