South Africa's Grootbos Nature Reserve
Grootbos Nature Reserve
Situated in the picturesque area of Gansbaai, Grootbos Nature Reserve is the premier accommodation in the heart of the Hermanus on the Garden Route. For nature lovers, Grootbos is unmatched, boasting a thousand hectares of milkwood forest and fynbos, as well as the rich marine life found at neighboring Walker Bay. Gansbaai, known for its great white sharks, proves a superb destination for adventure seekers while the stretch between Hermanus and Gansbaai offers some of the best viewing of Southern Right whales in South Africa.
Constructed from stone and timber, Grootbos camouflages harmoniously into the surrounding forests, thereby providing ultimate privacy for each one of its decadently furnished cottages. Enjoy exquisite cuisine on the reserve, tenderly prepared by the talented chef. Inspired by the flourishing herb garden outside the lodge, dishes incorporate a splendid array of tastes and flavors, as well as the fresh seafood from the local markets. Enjoy the many adventurous pursuits that lie in Hermanus or explore the wealth of fynbos for which Gansbaai is known, and the diverse birdlife that it attracts.
