Grootbos Private Nature Reserve

Firstly, the location of Grootbos is probably unbeatable throughout the whole of South Africa, if not the world, with a view across the dunes and Walker Bay, stretching all the way to Cape Point. Getting married late in the afternoon and watching the sun set into the ocean while toasting with champagne makes this an unforgettable experience.

Grootbos is located in the heart of the Cape Floral Kingdom, and has been voted one of the Best Hotels in the World by Tatler Travel Guide. With over 750 indigenous species and two large Milkwood Forests, one cannot get a closer feeling to nature.

Grootbos is the ideal wedding venue and very unique with its two five-star lodges and luxury Villa. All rooms are luxury suites, with en-suite bathrooms, separate living room and large decks. Each of these suites is free standing and has incredible views over the Walker Bay!

The ceremony can be held outdoors in the tranquil atmosphere of the reserve and your special guests can witness you taking this remarkable step, while whales frolic in the distance.

Should the weather not permit, the ceremony will be held in the warm ambience of the main lodge with its cosy fireplaces, tastefully decorated lounge areas and breathtaking views of Walker Bay and surrounding mountains.
