The all-time marine season is here!
With the 2022 whale and shark season currently underway, we have started to see the return of the Southern Right Whales to Walker Bay...
The Secret Season at Grootbos is a special time of year when fynbos fields give way to a rich diversity of flora and fauna.
Awakened by the stunning glow of winter sunsets, the fields are alive with vibrant colours that welcome southern right whales to Walker bay after their long journey from the Antarctic.
Tucked away in the middle of this beautifully orchestrated symphony of nature, lies Grootbos Private Nature Reserve, your gateway to experiencing nature's wonders. Explore ancient milkwood forests, set out on exciting flower safaris and take to the waters for a magical whale watching experience, this Secret Season. For those wanting to take things slow, indulge in rejuvenating wellness treatments, spend time in front of a cosy fireplace with a glass of award-winning South African wine while you inhale fynbos-scented air and let nature work its magic.
Relax in one of 16 freestanding suites and absorb the beauty that surrounds you, at Forest Lodge.
Enjoy secluded luxury in one of two private villas that include an array of unforgettable experiences for discerning guests. With intuitive service provided by a private chef, butler and nature guide, your every need will be met in a home-away-from-home environment.
