Imagine a secret garden overflowing with abundant life. Think of birdsong echoing from every corner, the scent of flowers in the air. And then imagine being given the key to that garden…such is a stay at Garden Lodge, where magic awaits you around every corner.

Lush. Welcoming. Inspiring. Step into our Garden Lodge and feel the warmth of African hospitality combined with architectural mastery. Explore the fynbos on horseback or foot, admire the striking views or simply sip on a refreshing drink at our welcoming bar.

Stroll through our fairytale gardens and discover 11 free-standing and light-filled suites that you simply won’t want to leave. Soak into a bubble bath and absorb the views and tranquility, sink into your luxurious canopy bed or simply enjoy each other’s company in your separate lounge or on your private wooden deck.

Whether it’s the bright green of our freshly grown micro herbs or the sunshine yellow of the egg yolk from our very own chickens, every meal at Grootbos is an explosion of colour, texture and taste. In fact, nearly half of all the ingredients we use are sourced from our Growing the Future food production and social upliftment project, based right here, on the reserve.

Whatever dish you choose, you’ll get to experience the tastes of this unique landscape and its people, in a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel instantly at home.
