Out of the Ordinary...

Grootbos Private Nature Reserve

Barry says that I totally lived up to my reputation as 

far as taking him to really unexpected places when we we 

were "delivered" to the Forest Lodge at Grootbos!  

This place is fabulous!  The weather wasn't exactly

 fabulous...but we were there in their winter!  There

 were some things on our list that we didn't get to do

...but there were somethings that weren't even on 

our radar that we did and loved!

It was love at first sight...

Can you see the view of Walker's Bay?

There is a really good reason that the fireplace 

was blazing in our cottage...

We loved the uncluttered and clean

 lines of the lounge area...

The pool was beautiful, but a wee bit cold for a swim...

All of the exterior spaces and interior spaces are lovely....

I loved the Forest Lodge and everything it offered! 

 I knew it was going to be extra special when the dessert 

special on our first night was Mississippi Mud Cake!
