Grootbos Private Nature Reserve offers luxury accommodation featuring spectacular views of ancient forests and the whale watching haven of Walker Bay, just a 30-minute drive from Hermanus.

The air-conditioned suites of Grootbos feature floor-to-ceiling windows, making the suites light and airy. All suites offer a spacious lounge with a cosy fireplace, satellite TV and a DVD player, and a private wooden deck.

The location is second to none, incredible ocean and mountain vistas almost wherever you look, but what really made this experience something special are the staff, they are attentive, engaging and friendly. What really struck me about the staff is how much they actually care about your experience, always asking “can I help you with x” or “we can do y if that’s better for you” etc without skipping a beat!

    Superb location - best views. Along with another couple we took over the two penthouse room / suite - this gave us an enormous rooftop area to move sunbeds / chairs and watch the sunset in complete privacy. Rooms were spacious and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Staff extremely friendly. Good breakfast. Quiet location (in January! Not sure so quiet in whale watching season?) Recommend pre booking local restaurants as very few within a 20 minute drive.

    Out of this world experience! From the moment we arrived at this luxury boutique lodge, we were greeted by attentive staff who made us feel right at home. Every penny spent was well worth it for the exceptional service and experience. We couldn't have asked for a better stay!

    Linda is a super host. Amazing Grace lived up to its name and exceeded our expectation and every way. Location is perfect,, a stone throw from a relacing coastal walk. Lovely room and the little touches made it feel more at home. It definitely was a 5 star getaway. Linda thought everything through leaving us wanting for nothing. Breakfast in the morning with ocean view listening to a symphony of birds was a blessing. Amazing Grace is a home away from home and looking forward to my next visit to Gansbaai.

    The crown jewel at Marine 5 is with a doubt vested in Regie. What a superb host, chef and fountain of local knowledge. Pam and I were made to feel extra-special and the foods prepared by Regie were delicious and wholesome. The extra special treat on Xmas day really made our stay. I can highly recommend Marine 5.

    Everything! It is a unbelievable nice house and something you only see in the movies. Everything is in superb condition and very luxurious. The views are out of this world as the whales swim by your balcony. And the host, Reggie, is one of the kindness persons I have ever met and a great chef!

    Our hosts and their staff were wonderful. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and will return again in the future. We have already recommended it to our friends. Our room was superb and the meals including breakfast were 5 star. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality. Next time we will stay longer!!
