It was in 1991 that the Lutzeyer family first set eyes on a small farm on the fynbos slopes overlooking Walker Bay and they couldnât believe the beauty they had seen. In 1994 Michael Lutzeyer sold his business interests in Cape Town and decided to develop a bed and breakfast for local visitors, not knowing that soon he would be attracting visitors from across the globe. Since then, through a combination of hard work, enthusiasm, vision and strong family cooperation, the Lutzeyers have turned the reserve into a world leader in progressive luxury tourism, transforming the lives of community members and preserving 2500 hectares of botanical and wildlife treasures.
With breathtaking panoramic views of mountain and sea, the Grootbos Private Nature Reserve is a luxurious pristine paradise which show cases the splendour of the Cape Floral Kingdom and the incredible marine life of the southern tip of Africa. The reserve is situated 2 hours from Cape Town, and is the perfect base to discover all the magnificent attractions of the Cape, offering an extensive variety of guided experiences and luxurious facilities. Tucked away in an ancient Milkwood forest surrounded by rolling hills of fynbos and majestic mountains, the accommodation options at Grootbos offer a complete immersion into the pristine natural surroundings within the comfort and luxury.
