Outstanding! Wonderful service, specialised botanic guides, best local wines and a gourmet chef. Nothing to complain about!

May be one of my new favorite hotels in the world! The service and the accommodations at this reserve were some of the nicest we have ever experienced. My three kids loved the kids club and were thrilled to go on some kid only adventures, chill out and watch a movie, and play pool! This allowed my husband and I to thoroughly enjoy the dinners and wine pairings. The wait staff and sommelier were fantastic. We celebrated our anniversary durning this trip and the staff and Grootbos went above and beyond our expectation. I definitely recommend this reserve and hope to return in the future!

We stayed in Grootbos as part of our honeymoon trip and I have to say it could be the best hotel we have ever visited, anywhere in the world. The suites, the food, the facilities and the staff are all absolutely exemplary - and needless to say the view and area is divine! The staff were incredibly attentive and even organised a surprise dinner for us one evening in their private wine cellar, which was an amazing experience - they really do go the extra mile for you here and will make your stay so memorable and special. We have been fortunate to travel around the world a lot and Grootbos would be our number one choice to return to. Special mentions to our wonderful guide Lino, and to Bianca and Princess who made our stay even more amazing. Thank you!

Wir wollten wie letztes Jahr zum Nachtessen: Wir haben ein Email geschrieben, bis jetzt keine Antwort. Ich habe ca 10 mal versucht, das Hotel anzurufen….. nach einem Tag hat jemand das Telefon abgenommen. Ich fragte nach einer Reservierung für das Nachtessen, als Antwort bekam ich, dass sie gut gebucht seien, aber grundsätzlich nur Hotelgäste nehmen. Eigenartige Antwort….

Ein Wow-Erlebnis auf unserer Reise. Die Wohnungen ("Zimmer" wäre untertrieben), die Umgebung mit Flora und Fauna, der Ausblick, der Service, die Aktivitäten mit ausgezeichneten Guides, das Essen - einfach sensationell. Und das alles gepaart mit Nachhaltigkeit. Zitat aus dem Willkommensbrief: We have not inherited the world from our forefathers; we have borrowed it from our children. Dieses Bewusstsein ist spürbar. Wir wünschen allen von Herzen viel Erfolg!

Grootbos Florilegium Half Day Tour - Celebrating the treasures of our botanical heritage was a wonderful experience. Heidi was very passionate about the beautiful flora and pollinators that make Grootbos a hidden treasure. The gallery collection was an impressive and the investment in education also commendable. The local taxi provided us with transport from Pure Sea Eco Lodge. Alternatively they also have accommodation available. We enjoyed a tasty lunch and tea tasting as part of our tour.

Wenn ich das Grootbos Private Nature Reserve in einem Wort beschreiben müsste, dann wäre es Perfektion. Dieses Luxushotel der Extraklasse ist eingebettet in eine atemberaubende Landschaft, die einem die Sprache verschlägt. Vom ersten Moment an fühlten wir uns wie im Paradies – umsorgt, willkommen und verwöhnt. Jeder Wunsch wurde uns von den Augen abgelesen, das gesamte Team war aufmerksam, herzlich und professionell. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir Suzelle, die uns Reitanfängern mit viel Geduld und Humor einen unvergesslichen Ausritt ermöglicht hat – wir lachen heute noch :-) Ein unvergesslicher Aufenthalt – wir kommen garantiert wieder!
