Grootbos Private Nature Reserve

 - Hermanus, The Cape
Read 1 traveller review of Grootbos Private Nature Reserve

On a hillside with sweeping views of the ocean, Grootbos Private Nature Reserve is a real gem, just 20 minutes east of Hermanus. The two luxurious lodges here have 27 superbly-designed cottages, all with private balconies. Standards of food and service are high, but to dwell on the comforts is to miss the point. Grootbos focuses on its environment: the unique fynbos ecosystem and local marine life. Your stay here includes guided walks and drives to explore the reserve with expert guides. Aside from the flora, there's a lot to see, learn about and get involved with, from horse riding, to beach-combing, whalewatching and even shark-diving. Grootbos has a special programme of guided activities for children that are excellent.
