Grootvadersbosch

Grootvadersbosch

A true birder�s paradise situated in a remarkable, unspoilt indigenous forest adjacent to Boosmansbos Wilderness Area. Its secluded bird hides among the treetops are quite unique. Enjoy leisurely walks, mountain biking or cool of in the river. Bushbuck and other small game, not to mention birds, frequent the forest edge to feed at dusk and dawn.

Accommodation

The reserve has 2 self-catering cottages:

The first is a tastefully decorated three-bedroomed house, situated on the edge of the indigenous forest, 2km from the reserve entrance. It has a fully equipped kitchen (with microwave), a bathroom, and a living room. It also has a wonderfully secluded braai area alongside the cottage. It sleeps seven people. One room has a double bed, another has two single beds, while the third has one single bed and one bunk bed.

The second is a comfortable wooden two-bedroomed house, situated on the edge of the indigenous forest, 500m from the reserve entrance. It has a fully equipped kitchen (with microwave), a bathroom, and a living room with a Jetmaster. It also has a spacious shaded braai area alongside the cottage. It sleeps six people. One room has two single beds, another has one single bed and a bunk bed. The living room has an extra bed.

Campsite

A small campsite with its own ablution block is situated not too far from the office complex and the interpretation centre. Each of the 10 sites available look out over a section of the forest. There is also a large, thatched communal braai/lapa area, with a fridge that hard-pressed campers can use.
