A lively fish pond under Milkwood thickets and a terrace with a swimming pool overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, flank the entrance to this renowned 5 Star Lodge and gateway to the Garden Route. The landscape resembles a modern-day Garden of Eden, where buck, bee and bird still freely go about their way, unperturbed by human awe.
The charming lodge and 11 freestanding suites, merged in the riches of Overberg flora, grant sweeping views across fynbos-clad mountains and sea. Ideally located at the beginning of the Garden Route, this 5 Star Lodge is the perfect starting point. The contrast of lavish luxury and comfort in the heart of unspoilt African wildlife is sheer bliss.
The striking main building is the original Grootbos Lodge where 3 hectares of indigenous fynbos and Milkwood forests were artfully cultured into a hotchpotch of brilliant colours and shapes. Fashioned from stone, thatch and fine timber to merge with the natural environment, the stylish Garden Lodge reflects African warmth with an intercontinental twist.
Literally no stone was left unturned to cater for every whim and want of young and old. The cosy restaurant (The Garden) with a central fireplace and bar was designed to tantalise eyes and palate on exquisite cuisine and breathtaking views of sea and sky up to False Bay in the distance. High beamed ceilings and endless windows enhance the incredible sensation of light and freedom. A spacious lounge, beauty salon, library, Internet access and an entertainment room ensure that all needs are met.
Outdoors, an enticing terrace and pool area offer private bliss to sun seekers and couples waiting to toast the spectacular sunsets over Walker Bay. Stables and horse-riding opportunities as well as a play area where rabbits, ducks and birds breed, provide children with an unforgettable educational experience.
All the luxury suites feature romantic canopy beds, spacious en-suite bathrooms, separate lounges with cosy fireplaces, mini bar, tea & coffee making facilities as well as wooden decks with spectacular views.
Come lose yourself in a flower-world landscaped by nature.
Facilities include: 6x One-Bedroom Luxury suites, 3x One-Bedroom Classic Suites, 2x Two-Bedroom Luxury Suites. The lodge offers laundry service, centralized telephone, fax, e-mail and postal service.
