Overview of Grootbos Garden Lodge

Situated in the Grootbos Private Nature Reserve, Grootbos Garden Lodge is a 5-star lodge surrounded by exceptional natural beauty. Constructed from local sandstone and sustainable timbre, the stylish suites are generously spaced out and screened by the beautiful gardens.

Garden Lodge is ideally suited for families. Go on nature walks, drives or horse rides to explore the reserve where wildlife still roam freely through fynbos. Between June and December, take a day trip down to the beach to see the southern right whales. A range of fun and educational activities is available for children, including treasure hunts and shell collecting.

 

Make a Positive Impact Through Travel

Grootbos Foundation is a non-profit organisation that works to conserve the critically endangered fynbos, while also focusing on the training and skills development of the surrounding communities. It is an organisation dedicated to empowering others through ecotourism, enterprise development, sports development and education. All projects are replicable and scalable, with many generating their own income or becoming partially self-sustaining. From coaching soccer and computer training to clearing alien vegetation, each programme has been carefully considered to build a brighter future for the people who live here, as well as the environment.
