    The Whale Coast

    Grootbos Forest Lodge

    Beautiful, stylish and spacious

    The Forest Lodge is a fine piece of sophisticated contemporary design, reflecting the breath taking natural beauty of the Grootbos Private Reserve’s landscape. Part of what makes Grootbos extra special is the property’s commitment to making a positive impact through various projects.

    The clean lines, high ceilings and large windows frame and accentuate the incredible sweeping views across the rolling hills of fynbos and the whale sanctuary of Walker Bay beyond – on a clear day, it’s possible to see all the way to Cape Point. Orientated towards the setting sun, every evening offers another grand spectacle of light and colour.

    The 16 freestanding luxury suites are accessed via an enchanted cobbled pathway beneath the ancient forest canopy. Each are stylishly furnished with luxurious canopy beds, spacious en suite bathrooms, separate lounges with cozy fireplaces and private wooden decks with spectacular panoramic views.

    The main lodge features a variety of elegant dining venues, a bar, lounge, curio shop and conference centre. Spacious wooden decks and an infinity pool beckon you to relax, unwind and enjoy the soothing tranquility. As the evening descends, open fires and subtle lighting create a warm, romantic atmosphere for the perfect dining experience.
