We were made to feel welcome as soon as we arrived. The staff were attentive and helped us arrange the activies for our 3 day stay. We had e-mailed ahead to book the whale boat trip and a late room check-out. The guides have a very extensive knowlege and great enthusiasm and pass this on to those around them, the... more

We were lucky enough to have a night at the Forest Lodge given to us as a wedding present and stayed at the Forest Lodge as part of our honeymoon. We weren't sure what to expect but were absolutely blown away by the place. Our room was huge. With a large separate lounge, lovely bedroom, huge bathroom and 3 (count... more

We stayed 2 nights at Grootbos and had high expectations, but they were not completely met. The lodge is superb! Very spacious and luxureous with a separate living room, bed room with sea view and a huge bath room, also with sea view. Magnificent! On the sun deck is another, outdoor shower. Very modern, newly built (2005) and design furnishing.... more

Having stayed at Grootbos twice in a garden lodge and a for lodge I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending the place. The garden lodges are more 'homely' in style but very nice and comfortable, and the newer forst lodges are beautiful modern building that blend into the area and have the most wonderful views out to sea from both... more

Just stayed for three nights and loved it. Service was excellent, the rooms were very spacious with a wooden chimney that was started right before you finished your dinner, and a great bathroom. Everyone was very helpful and shorted all our excursions professionally. more

Grotbos exceeded all expectations! the food was sublime, the rooms were absoultely spectacular and the staff were willing to care for your every need. The infinity pool over looking the draw dropping view of the beautiful beach was gorgeous especially in the setting sun! But one thing that i always remember is the amazing food that was served there! I... more

We saw this hotel as a sort of high point of our roundtrip through SA and turned from the highway to the small private road with high expectations. The start was pretty good. Friendly people greeted us, car and luggage were taking care of and we found ourselves on the terrace of the hotel to enjoy the stunning view down... more

This really is the most fantastic place we have ever stayed, and can't fault it in any way. We stayed here for only 1 night in March as a wedding present. The service is flawless - the staff really do go out of their way to help you with friendly hints and tips. The accomodation is stunning - set in... more
