Grootbos Private Nature Reserve, South Africa

The original Garden Lodge, situated reassuringly close to the activity areas, dining room and swimming pool, offers 11 spacious free-standing suites with separate living areas and vast wraparound decks with sweeping bay views. Choose between one or two bedrooms. Each of the one bedroom suites has a twin sofa bed – ideal for families with smaller children.

Fresh produce grown in the gardens features prominently in the specially designed kiddies’ menu and what’s more, parents can relax over dinner while children enjoy a special braai at the playground followed by a guided night walk to spot frogs, snails and porcupines!

Pony rides in the paddock, horse riding through the reserve, guided tours to ancient coastal caves (home to bushmen) , feeding a piglet and collecting eggs for breakfast from the resident free range chickens are all part of the Grootbos experience for younger guests!

Other activities available include Great White Shark cage diving and adventurous hikes - and at the end of an exhilarating day, you can relax and unwind with a rejuvenating spa treatment in the privacy of your suite!
