Grootbos Private Nature Reserve
Grootbos Nature Reserve stretches across 23 hectares of Indigenous fynbos and milkwood forest with panoramic views to the ocean beyond Walker Bay. Grootbos offers a classical garden Lodge, ideal for families and a recently built contemporary Forest Lodge, that combine to produce an incredible outdoors experience. Qualified Botanists impart their knowledge during various activities such as 4x4 nature drives and bird watching excursions; alternatively embark on a trip out to the aqua waters to marvel at the variety of ocean based wildlife that you may encounter. The southern right whales migrate to this region every year between July and October and where better to witness this remarkable experience than Grootbos Private Nature Reserve.
The first time I visited Grootbos Nature Reserve was on a fact finding mission. I was taken aback by the enthusiasm of Michael and Tertius Lutzeyer – brothers and owners. Three hours later than expected I departed, amazed by the energy and passion two men could exude. That passion is still visible throughout the two lodges at Grootbos Nature Reserve.
