Last week Shane, Nina James and I made our way 2 hours out of Cape Town to the beautiful Grootbos Private Nature Reserve in Gansbaai.
I have been wanting to go to Grootbos Private Nature Reserve for ages. I have double tapped Instagrams of this magical place and I’ve swooned over it online and finally I got a chance to spend a couple of days on this amazing piece of land in the heart of an ancient Milkwood Forest.
During our visit we got to stay at Grootbos’ beautiful Garden Lodge. The luxury suites are so nicely put together and every room within them has been considered and decorated with a more than tasteful eye. I was so impressed with all the personal touches, from the teddy bear they tucked into Nina’s bed, to the small Milkwood plant that they left addressed to Shane and I, so that we could take a piece of Grootbos home with us.
We had such a special stay, we ate like Kings and we were treated like Kings by all the staff, they were so friendly and helpful and so genuinely amped to do whatever they could to make our stay more enjoyable.
We spent 2 nights at Grootbos and we were spoilt rotten. We went on a guided tour through the Milkwood forrest, we had an epic picnic on the beach with a basket full of all sorts of treats, including 3 different meals for Nina James (so sweet of them)! I went on a horseback ride and was treated to the most beautiful views and I got to meet and chat to one of the owners Mr Michael Lutzeyer, who is an inspirational (and very energetic) man that isn’t just the head of this beautiful establishment, but also one of the driving forces behind all it’s amazing conservation and future building initiatives.
(The 3 photos above of the Forrest Lodge came from here)
I really loved my stay at Grootbos and I can’t wait to go back and do a few more activities that we didn’t have a chance to do this time around, like whale watching and the guided cave tour. They also have shark cage diving, which Shane kept telling me he was amped to do, but somehow avoided actually going through with it haha! Now that is something I would be way too scared to do, even though it would probably be so damn exciting. I would probably faint from anxiety before I even got my wetsuit on!
And speaking of exciting, I have some exciting news for you guys.

A weekend at Grootbos looks heavenly! Would take along my man, Rudolf. X
I would love to treat my darling hunk of a husband of one year to this spoil of a retreat to thank him for his unending grace, unconditional love and support!
Also dying to go here. Would take the hubby for a romantic break
Sounds wonderful to wake up amongst the fynbos. I would take my boyfriend Stuart Hutcheson with. He would just simply love it. And we would go for trail runs in the area too.
I would take my hubby Julian with me <3 looks amazing!
I would take my hubby Julian with me <3 looks amazing!!!
my wife Leandra Taylor would love this…..
Wow, we’re 2 work-hard play-hard diehards who need a total break from it all. This looks like the ticket! (Michelle and Thomas)
Have just tweeted @miss_luckypony! Bring on those extra entries! I need all the help I can get! 🙂
I would take my boyfriendo Nicolaas Barnard. It will be a pure bliss !!!
A genuine, nice review. Looked like an amazing getaway. I would take my wife and new born baby on a babymoon ( her word, definitely not mine). Im a little worried though, if we did win this she might viabrate wildly with exitment, align with a parellel universe and wink out of existence. Leaving the child and I motherless is maalmsbury
Your photos look amaaazing, you guys are mooi and the place looks great! Would love to take my other half there for our one year anniversary!
This would be amazing! I would take Frowin, my boyfriend. He has been away in the Eastern Cape doing his MSc research on vulture conservation and I think we need a getaway together once he comes home at the end of March!
This past weekend was my twin sister’s wedding. My folks, being the most amazing people that they are organised the whole thing and paid for most of it 😉 ! My mother needs special mention in that she made almost everything for the special event: she spent 6 month hand beading and sewing together the most exquisite dress you’ll ever see, made 90 napkins. 12 overlays, 12 centre pieces for the tables, countless drapes for the venue, 20 scatter cushion covers for the venue, the wedding cake (3 tier), three brides made dresses, organic rose petal, rosemary and lavender confetti; not to mention countless days spent shopping around for the perfect pre-reception cocktail glasses, desert table decor, and the flowers…. right now she is still working, delivering goods back to hiring companies, packing away all the decor we bought for the wedding, washing napkins and pillow covers all in this 41 degree heat! My mother is incredible! After all her hard work my mother deserves her own relaxing hunny moon. I actually looked into booking here for my folks for their 30th wedding anniversary last year but could not afford it so if I could win and give them this gift I would be so grateful and know my mom would absolutely love it!
The love of my life and partner Niel van Deventer

PLEASE pick me so I can take Grant Newman Clark my bearded love! ❤️Please can you also pick me because I have entered every competition known to man and have been ridiculed by family and friends for it (okay, the competition to win two tubs of ice cream was a low point and was definitely asking for ridicule. Not actually winning the ice cream, was a lower point still). So don’t just do it for me, do it for girls everywhere entering competitions they never win! Do it for girls getting teased mercilessly on family groups around the world!

Whoops. *for our second wedding anniversary
it sounds like paradise. I would take my husband , who has recently experienced the worst six months of his and our life. Closed our business, he was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s and prostate cancer. Unbelievable , what the human soul can endure. A break like this would benefit us both immensely at this time.
Hi Trish,
Was just scrolling through a couple of the comments and saw yours. I am SO sorry to hear this. My Dad also has prostate cancer…let this not be an anxiety that eats at your soul…his has been under wraps for 12 years now. As for the early onset Alzheimer’s…again my thoughts and prayers go out to you as 2 very close family friends have been diagnosed the same. For this, and all the reading I have done about it, I can only say…Omega3…get him on a HIGH daily dosage of it. It can’t reverse but it certainly can’t do any harm to try…Thinking of you both.
I would really love to take my best friend Lucia because she has been my pillar of strength and I just want to show her that she is highly appreciated.
A weekend @ Grootbos sounds amazing!!! I would love to take my Mamma Anna as I am living in Calvinia and don’t see her that often. She is the most amazing person in my life and some mother daughter time will be so special!! I am holding thumbs xx
Hello Angie! 🙂 I would take my boyfriend Devin, firstly because it would be amazing. And secondly, because he is about to complete his masters degree, and I am hoping to get into my masters degree. So a celebration weekend treat would be amazing. X
(Also, I’m about to tweet you now so enter me again please)

Such a heavenly hotel & so many exciting things to do – guided nature walks & beach picnics surrounded by the most beautiful African scenery. We are dying to win this, needless to say, I have liked, shared, tweeted, instagramed, emailed, spammed, just about errythang to make this known! 🙂

I would love a mini-honeymoon get away for my fiancé Darren, and I as we are getting married on the 24th of April 2015, but as yet, have no reservations as accommodation is so expensive, on top of the already escalating wedding costs. Please could you enter us again, I have already liked and shared on Facebook.

Lee Jung
Heaven on earth – what a spoil! Thanks for the opportunity
In 6 weeks time I’m marrying my soul mate but unfortunately there will be no honeymoon after the wedding. Although we’ll be spending the rest of our lives together, and that in itself makes me a very grateful girl, a romantic weekend away to reflect gratefully on our wedding day, alone, away from all the friends, family and children, will be most appreciated. And where can be more lovely than the exquisite Grootbos Private Nature Reserve.
I dream about a weekend at Grootbos.Please make my dreams come true.
Would love love to take my husband and 3 boys…..but if they could not come, would totally be ok to just be me and my husband for a change;-)
This would be the most amazing, special weekend for me and my man, Zach Louw.
I have liked all Facebook pages, liked the Facebook post, shared & commented! If I win, I would take my boyfriend Niall with me! 🙂
A weekend at Grootbos would be amazing for my hubby and I, who are celebrating our 7th Wedding Anniversary on March 15! xx
I would love to take my bestie Antoinette Murdoch.

Wow! That was a BIG scroll down. I’d love to take my fiance, Matthew Manderson. 🙂 xx
This would be an amazing experience for both my husband (Ebrahim Dawood) and I. We will be married for 2 years this March ♥ & still saving up for a Honeymoon… this would b perfect♡
😀 this place looks amazing Babe!! We go evry year <3
We moved to Namibia from Paarl in 2012. We miss our family terribly and are planning on going for a visit in December 2015. This would be such a wonderful “getaway” in our holiday and I can imagine only one person with me – my husband, Johan. Under normal circumstances, we would not be able to afford this and this is just a thing on our list of “have to do’s” that would be amazing to tick off xxx
have liked and shared and would so very much love to win this amazing prize!!
I would take my hubby and bubby.. Adam and James 🙂
Been dying to visit Grootbos for ages! Would definitely take my fiancé with me when he gets back from studying for 5 months in Shanghai – will seriously need the quality time together…

Hi Angie
I would love to take my fiance Dave as we have just moved which has been extremely exhausting and stressful and we have our wedding in Sept 2015 so that’s huge stress as well and a little time out away would really help us alot.
Definitely taking my husband – my best friend & champ – celebrating our 4th anniversary in March and would be such a perfect place for sharing this milestone 🙂 Shared on FB & Twitter!
This look like the sort of breath-taking adventure that the love of my life would appreciate…and he deserves a weekend off! He spends his days changing the world, one equation at a time. (I’m TOTALLY about to tweet, too!)
Desperately need a break with my darling husband Grant ! Been a long year .. with a 1 year old baby !!
I would take my amazing fiancé for a spoil weekend away!! Grootbos has always been on our list of dream getaways!! Holding thumbs! X x

I would take my boyfriend as my weekend partner, because he is the SHEEZ and I can’t think of a better person to go on a Bridget-Jones-style mini break weekend with! It’s also our 1 year anniversary in March and we’ve been hunting for a special place to spend a weekend together. Grootbos is that and more! xo
Would love a break from life with my amazing man Gav xx
Would definitely take my husband Derek Randall
I would absolutely LOVE a weekend away at Grootbos Private Nature Reserve with my dear friend and photographer Sally Lippstreu formerly known as Sally Mellish. We would relax and dine and enjoy all the breathtaking views – and I would get her to take some amazing snaps of my daily yoga practice over the sunrise and sunset hours with this breathtaking view. We both need the rest and relaxation, we both love amazing food, and we have been looking for somewhere to snap the asanas in style. I hope luck is on our side – but I am grateful for the hope and the license to dream.
If I could choose one prize to win this year, it would be this. Grootbos just looks like a DREAM. I would take Dieter Schlange because we need to get away for the weekend badly.
I have also tweeted about this competition. Holding thumbs!

I was so amazed when my fiance posted this link on my facebook page as he never enters anything… Last year was horribly tough with my dear mother suddenly got sick and she past away within a week on the 29th of Dec. I’ve been trying to put on a smile and seriously feel like I’ve been faking happiness which is beyond my happy self! I am exausted having also to focus and start with a new job and my sister’s being overseas I struggle to keep the faith. My beautiful boyfriend proposed to me about 3 weeks ago and we geniunly havn’t had a break since… well it’s been forever and a day. Please pick Penny&Pieter for this venture of a life time – we could realy rekindly and enjoy nature’s beauty in Grootbos
Firstly, I do photography as a hobbie and I absolutely love your pics, beautiful! With regards to the competition, I would love the opportunity to getaway with my boyfriend. This would be such a treat for him on his weekend off to get away from the fast-paced life of retail (working long hours and weekends). I’m not active on Facebook or Twitter but would love to follow you on Instagram and enter via that medium if you would allow
I would like to take my husband, Michael… maybe in time for our babymoon… maybe for our 10 year wedding anniversary. Lots to celebrate soon! I actually suggested this exact thing to him this weekend when we drove past on route to Stanford…. but what a bonus to have a stab at winning. Thanks lucky pony & Grootbos!

My grandparents lived in the area and we drove through Grootbos so many times during my magical childhood, often stopping at the side of the road to pick Bietoes. I would love to take my husband, Chris van Wyk, down memory lane.
I would love to take my undescribably amazing boyfriend of 3 years on this ideal break-away. Franco and I both work full time and are studying part time and have not had a decent break away in 2 years.

It took me 29 years to meet the love of my life & to realize you never have to settle in life. He is my soul mate and we are moving into our beautiful new home on the 1st March. The move/packing has been a tad stressful so this would be a dream come true! Plus we both love nature & the outdoors!! OH PLEASE, OH PLEASE!!!
Awesome shots you’ve taken of your time away! Thank you for the inspiration!
I would love to share that beautiful space with my fiancee Stacey!
I have this wonderful guy in my life, and I must say I am SO thankful that I met him.

And I shared on Twitter and Facebook
I would so take my hubby! Liked, shared & tweeted @RespTraveller : )
I would take my friend Kerry for a well deserved ‘Girls Weekend’. Our boyfriends have a boys trip to Dubai booked this year. As our final year timetables are all mixed over various school holidays it doesn’t allow us to go with, hashtag very sad girlfriends staying behind
I would like to take the better part of me: Eugene. I have no reason to justify why I would like to win; life has not been cruel or unkind to me in any way to warrant a getaway, in fact, I’m an insanely lucky human being. It simply looks like a place where one can revel in being exceedingly grateful for life & all we have in it. Besides, I’m sure we’re all going into one massive hat anyway!
I would love to take my hubby and our little girl here for our first family holiday and to celebrate surviving 2014:)
OH MAN! been hustling for months now, so my wife Cassan Ferguson (http;//misscasslee.co.za could quite her job & pursue her dreams of having her own business. Could really do with a good break, especially seeing as our 7 year wedding anniversary is coming up in March.
Can I take myself twice?
I suppose not. I would take my lovely husband, Darren.
THIS IS SUCH A GEM!
I would take my boyfriend Johnny on this amaze trip. @miss_luckypony shared on twitter ( @giftigekat ) and on Facebook, pinned it! Well needed @Grootbos memories.

Okey, so the whole world entered already! At least I have the most unique name. And I love your blog. And my husband and daughter of 6. And getting away. In nature. With my family.
And we recently lost the second one that was on it’s way, so some time out and recharging would go a looooong way!
All the best with picking a winner out of this amazingly long list 😉
My tweet here: https://twitter.com/Iam_Nellie/status/570171376943939584

Liked everything on Facebook,
Then shared on Facebook and Twitter 🙂

I love the woods, yes and who doesn’t love star treatment… and there’s always the chance of seeing Brad Pitt. But that aside I’ve visited Platbos just over the hill from Grootbos and had the best time. Who will I take my hubby of course. Would have to see if kids are allowed. My peaceful 6 year old and adventurous – pop singer to be – 10 year old will enjoy the luxury. We used to live in Kenya and the resort treatment would feel like a trip down memory lane. The tweet has been done – both from personal and company pages and the tagging of course. What else can I do?
Divine, what a treat! I would take my partner
This would be the perfect way to start a new year after – two years ago my father passed away while travelling in the USA and last year started the proceedings of a divorce. This year can only be better and an opportunity like this would definitely rejuvenate me! I would probably take my mom 🙂 #GrootvaderbosRejuvenation
My best friend and boyfriend who hasn’t had leave in almost 2 years would be the person i would take along for a short but well deserved break :):):) fingers crossed
I’d definitely take my husband – and our baby boy who is due in 6 weeks’ time!! Tweeted (@Clea_Y) too!

We’ve just celebrated our 1st year of marriage and this year marks our 10th year of our relationship so we would LOVE to celebrate this milestone with a weekend away just to reconnect and reaffirm our love & friendship. And time out together would be suuuch a blessing too! Here’s hoping! (I’ve liked all, shared on FB & Twitter – keeping fingers crossed!)

Oh my word look how many entries this giveaway has achieved! Dying to go to Grootbos, read so much about this divine place. Would go with my hub obviously:) liked and shared On fb and have tweeted.
I would love to treat my husband to this weekend away. Our year started with a bang. He, at the age of 34 was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. He starts chemotherapy in the next few weeks and this would be a lovely treat to do just before reality of this illness kicks in. Grootbos is beautiful and it’s always been on our bucket list, the bucket list has been shredded down to size and we would love to do as much as we can together. Much love <3 x
This place looks like utter bliss and magic. I would take The Big Ross with me. Have tweeted and shared on FB too!

Wow, would be a great way to treat my amazing wife before the birth of our son in May!
WOWZa… I would love to celebrate my birthday (which is in March 😉 ) with my boyfriend at Grootbos, been craving to stay there for ages!!!
Such an amazing oppurtunity to be able to go there, done so much research on the place. I study hotel school and usually we have to work behind the scenes and my mom works really hard, i would love to take her to get away. My mom would love it. . .
I will take my best friend Ernita, we both enjoy good food, nature and horse riding. We most definitely will make the best of our time in that beautiful area. I have been following Grootbos for a while now and am dreaming of going there!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaah. The pictures are stunning. I would love to stay here with my fiance (then husband),Stephen Sillifant. We live in South Korea at the moment and have been talking about touring SA since we left. We miss our beautiful country and can’t wait to be back again!! Grootbos would be the perfect place to stop at for a couple of days on our honeymoon…
This place has been on our bucket list for a while now! We are trying to plan a local honeymoon (because why would we need to go anywhere else when we have places like this in our backyard!!!) so this wold be the perfect way to indulge after the celebrations! Most definitely this would be for me and my soon-to-be hubby Mark Whitehead! PS- I have retweeted (@kirst_b22), liked and shared!
I’d take my wonderful boyfriend of three years, we work hard and Grootbos would be the perfect escape. Music, nature and luxury, all you need.
PS I’ve entered here, Tweeted you, commented and shared on facebook and google plus. May the odds be ever in my favour 😀
I would love to take my husband here, he always treats me, and surprises me with flowers. I shared on FB and Twitter 🙂
Totally agree with Chanelle Els!
It would honestly make my year, if I got to win this great getaway and have a fantastic well rested weekend away with my Best friend. (she honestly deserves it more than anyone else). I have commented on Facebook and Twitter 🙂 Holding thumbs! x
I would take my hubby to celebrate our 23rd anniversary! Liked, shared of fb and google +

Have done all the necessary on FB and also tweeted (@cronjehenriette) – so here is holding thumbs (and pinkies and toes and everything! 😉 )
We’ve been wishing for a babymoon getaway (due in April!) but we just don’t have the money for one. If I win I would take my awesome husband with. Heads-up: shared on Facebook and now sharing on Twitter as we speak!
This is awesome! I think I’d take my stressed friend Brenda on a getaway, she so deserves it. I also tweeted from @Snofferol and shared on Facebook.
I would love to take my older sister who, as a busy working mom, could definitely use a girlie timeout.
I’ve liked, and shared, and tweeted, and wished. I’d take my bf Malcolm with me, he needs some spoiling after charming my famiky for a week. X
With our first baby on the way, camping in our first home whilst it is being renovated for the next 2 months….we really need a break from the stress and a bit of luxury for the soul. Sounds like the ideal place! Please choose my husband and I! Tweeted as well
I would love to take my fiance Paul. This year is going to be crazy with the wedding and he is working extra (offshore) meaning he is away from me so we can afford the wedding. Would love to steal him for a weekend and treat him to such a nice vacation.
Nice genuine review of a lovely place, love the pictures.
I would take my wife and newborn on a babymoon ( her word, not mine – it is a silly word). I’m a little concerned though that winning this would cause my wife to vibrate uncontrollably with excitement until she synced with a parallel universe ( perhaps ruled by natzis?) and winked out of existence, which would make it a bittersweet experience.
I would really love to take my boyfriend James away to this amazing resort. The food looks incredible and not to mention the scenery!!
With my new boyfriend, David 🙂 What an awesome prize this would be 🙂 🙂 🙂 Fingers and toes crossed
I would take my BEAUTIFUL girlfriend Liana Fernandes!
I have done all I can to spoil her and make her feel special throughout our time together, like she’s the only girl in the world….this would be an unreal way to treat her to something I would never be able to afford as a student for our upcoming 3 year anniversary….I love her so much and we love traveling so this getaway would be PERFECT!
I have entered on Facebook, as well as commented here and intend to enter on twitter too so please include me in all 3….Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity and holding thumbs!! 🙂
One of the most beautiful reserves I have seen in SA, I have actually been saving up for a weekend there with my boyfriend Marnus! That milkwood forest is just absolute magic!
I would take my best friend! He is moving overseas and it would be awesome to show him SA before he leaves!
I would take my husband Alan, who is finishing his Masters this year, working full-time and is an amazing hands-on dad to our baby daughter. I would really enjoy the break too!

Would love to take my hubby along for the splash.
I would take my hubby for our 10 year wedding anniversary something special!

I am convinced that Grootbos is heaven that is spoken about!! My husband, Deli Adelhelm who is working SO hard and always has been for the past 26 years for a company that really does not appreciate what they have, can do with a little piece of this heaven called Grootbos right now.
Love the pics! So beautiful. This would be the perfect gift for my husband for our 1 year anniversary on the 22 March 🙂

Awesome site.. Would love to go and take my love Arno with me..
My mom took me to Grootbos for lunch for my 30th birthday. We were also celebrating my engagement to Craig.

This place looks like a little chunk of paradise. I’d love to escape there with my manly man, hold hands, share sunsets, read books in the afternoon… Really looks like a gem of a place.

Shared on Twitter @capetownjax
Liked and shared on Facebook. I’d do almost anything to take my darling 14yr old daughter on this break…. She’s a dedicated and selfless beauty who is a National Figure skater. She trains so hard and has not had a holiday in 3 years, so this would mean the world to her. She SO deserves it….
I would absolutely love a couple of days with my hubby, Trevor. Out two little babies are a handful and a moments peace and quiet in this special place would be so spectacular. Thanks for arranging this competition. Lisa
My boyfriend was just saying the other day how in our almost 6 years of dating, the 1 thing we have not tried together is a weekend away for just the 2 of us. I would definitely take my boyfriend since we both enjoy being out in nature, together. #treehuggerlovers

We are planning our honeymoon and came across Groobos’ website. I immediately fell in love with the place, but unfortunately it didn’t fit into our budget. This competition came at the perfect time! Would love to spend a few days at the romantic Grootbos with my future husband!
Perfect setting for a perfect question to a perfect woman. Candi Schietekat. #weekenddream
I would take Tyrone Bradley xxxx
Would love to win a stay at Grootbos. Mostly it’ll get my husband off lightly for the upcoming birthday plans he is supposed to be arranging, but if I’m honest – I’d be perfectly ok with letting this year slide and us staying here for the celebration instead 😉 tweeted & shared on fb too!

Grootbos is on my bucket list of places to visit in teh Western Cape. I’d love to spend some time there with the love of my life Joel. Holding thumbs for a win 🙂
Lucky Pony 🙂 First of all… love the photies… they look awesome!!
I reckon everyone wants to get in on this awesome giveaway… and normally, I don’t enter because the chances of me getting picked… is always one in a couple thousand… but I am definitely giving this one a go. I would like to spend these 2 nights with my man… the reason being… He will be back in South Africa for a year in April, from spending 8 years serving in the British Army. To treat him to something like this, because nature is his thang… would be a wonderful way to spoil him and to show gratitude that he is back home with me, for good! Thank you for the awesome blog… and good luck to all, this place would definitely be a treat for anyone 🙂 xxx Happy March
Oh my word!! This would be so amazing!! My husband and I need this. And our anniversary is coming up. Fingers crossed. Liked and shared (couldn’t tag hubby though as he is not on FB).
Would love to take my husband Roland
Wow – there are a lot of entries here! Would absolutely LOVE to win this prize and celebrate with my husband, Sean, the end of five years (hopefully!) of part-time studying for his CFA. His dedication has been amazing – ensuring work has not suffered! This place has been on my bucket list for ages now 🙂
Would be ecstatic to take my girlfriend Charlotte Visser on this amazing trip!!!!**
Holy moly that’s a lot of entries to compete with! 🙂
I’d love to win this prize… we have a baby due in July and it would be absolutely lovely to go away for a weekend before our lives change forever (for the better of course!). My boyfriend is an auditor and is very stressed out from work. I’d love to surprise him with this relaxing getaway!
I also posted about it on Twitter! 🙂
Fingers, toes and eyes are crossed!

I would love to goto Grootbos Private Reserve with my fiance Fernando <3 I entered on Twitter as well as Facebook 🙂 *holding thumbs***
Oh my…..what a spoil……everyone deserves to go to Grootbos – everyday is a day to celebrate life!
I would love to take my amazing Husband, Sean Gerrand with me to spend 2 amazing nights at Grootbos.
P.s. i tweeted and shared on Facebook.
I would love to take my mother as she never gets to relax because she is always working hard to be able to support herself and can never switch off even on the weekends.
It looks amazing. I would like to win this trip for my parents. The last time they went somewhere was so long ago I can’t even remember. Their names are Walter and Mandy Allison. I can’t think of anyone who deserves it more.
I would love to spoil my daughter Kayla to a weekend at Grootbos as I have this hectic life and I feel she deserves some TLC for all her patience with me and my hectic corporate life 🙂 We have been dreaming about Grootbos forever and wish you can make our dream come true!! I have liked & shared the Facebook post, have re-tweeted your post and liked both Facebook pages! You are the best! and I followed you on Instagram 🙂 🙂 xxxx
What an awesome awesome prize! My fiancé and I got engagement there just over a year ago on my birthday. We have such special memories of Grootbos. It is definitely one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. We only stayed one night and wished we had more time to explore. I would love nothing more than to win this dream prize and treat my fiancé to a weekend away filled with romance and relaxation. For us to get away from the hustle and bustle of city living, work and planning a wedding would be a treat beyond measureable.
Wow! Remarkable! We are definitely spoilt in SA.. so many amazing places to visit!
Taking my long time boyfriend!

I’d absolutely definitely take my boyfriend. I’ve been dying to go for ages and ages and ages – and I couldn’t think of anywhere better.
A break to this amazing sanctuary with my husband Jacques Millard will be exactly what I need.
Definitely my husband henno wagenaar for our 1 year wedding anniversary!
Would love to go with my husband, Willie!
Shew these are alot of entries… anyway goodluck to all.
Reason why I would like my Hubby and I to win as our wedding anniversary is upon us and I would really love for us to experience an ultimate stay at the “jewel” in the crown of the Cape Floral Kingdom. Breathe in the air that is filled with the sweet scent of seasonal flowers, hear the beautiful singing of birds.
Will also love to do the whale watching and Horse Riding, to reveal a new feature and encourage a deeper appreciation to mammals and horses.
Definitely fine wining and dining is an absolute must and end off with a relaxing superb spa treatment with the local and finest spa treatments 🙂
my life parent Craig Isaacs will experiencing this breath taking place called Grootbos Private Nature Reserve. Nature, peacefulness this what we need.
I would love to take my mother! Anneke Odendaal!
Looks terrible! 😉 Would take my sexy lady Michelle with me
I would take my beautiful girlfriend Phillis. Sit with a glass of wine watching the most beautiful sunset over the stunning Walker Bay.
I would love to take my mom, this would be a dream come true for her 🙂 and me as I live inland there is no ocean near me
This is the first year my sister and I have ever really gotten along – which is absolutely awesome – but terribly sad at the same time as I am leaving to go overseas in June…and will be gone for 2 years at most. This giveaway could not have come at a better time!
We have been chatting about doing something together for some sisterly bonding and a shared birthday gift for one another before I jetset off… and this adventure of doing a guided tour through the Milkwood forest; an epic picnic on the beach; horseback riding; shark cage diving; whale watching; guided cave tours and more all sounds too good to just let slide.
Not to mention the fresh fruit served daily, the breakfast and lunch buffets, the 5 course dinners and what, 4×4 flower safaris?! Hello.
This is right up our ally and we would so love to share these memorable experiences together.
I am kaput!!! I need a holiday…please 🙂
My wife to be (planning on proposing in April) would be super stoked if I could treat her to this amazing gift!
I would love to take my husband, Hunter, to Grootbos for a little bit of a babymoon. We are going to need some alone time before September : ) I did enter on Facebook, so maybe I get lucky!
Liked, shared and tweeted, would love to win!! My hubby and I are in need of a holiday 🙂

If I win, I’d take my mother, who is my soul-mate and a light in my life. She is a fighter and a warrior, and she forgets to take a breather and look after herself. Please pick me so that I can pick her. I am a freelance travel/wildlife photographer, and do this because travel and the great outdoors make this crazy ride worthwhile. I am also a super social media user, so it would be a win-win situation for Grootbos and for me! Picking a winner is going to be tough. You’ve got your work cut out for you. Good luck!
All of the love! Love the Nat Geo affiliation they have!
This would be a great treat for Nic – he’s almost finished with his PHD in biochemistry, investigating the varying genetic traits of fynbos species to determine which ericas are the most vulnerable to extinction and becoming endangered and how they can be conserved. Being out in nature is how we need to spend our lives appreciating these flowers!
Entered and FB’d and Tweeted. 😉
Wow! This would be perfect after the long weeks my boyfriend, Marinus and myself spend time away from each other when he is working on the rigs 🙂
This past weekend was my twin sister’s wedding. My folks, being the most amazing people that they are organised the whole thing and paid for most of it ! My mother needs special mention in that she made almost everything for the special event: she spent 6 month hand beading and sewing together the most exquisite dress you’ll ever see, made 90 napkins. 12 overlays, 12 centre pieces for the tables, countless drapes for the venue, 20 scatter cushion covers for the venue, the wedding cake (3 tier), three brides made dresses, organic rose petal, rosemary and lavender confetti; not to mention countless days spent shopping around for the perfect pre-reception cocktail glasses, desert table decor, and the flowers…. right now she is still working, delivering goods back to hiring companies, packing away all the decor we bought for the wedding, washing napkins and pillow covers all in this 41 degree heat! My mother is incredible! After all her hard work my mother deserves her own relaxing hunny moon. I actually looked into booking here for my folks for their 30th wedding anniversary last year but could not afford it so if I could win and give them this gift I would be so grateful and know my mom would absolutely love it!
Seems almost impossible to win, bu I would love to see this amazing example of conservationist design! (Tweeted as well! 😉
Hello Miss Lucky Pony! So I’ve Liked, Shared, Tagged, Tweeted, @mentioned and lastly this comment! And I’m dreaming of a weekend away to Grootbos Private Nature Reserve!!
Shameez Liederman will be my partner 🙂
Sigh, pure bliss! I’d take the love of my life Mr Spence <3
I would take my amazing husband, Neville. I broke my ankle 6 weeks ago ( yay! Cast is coming off on Thursday) and he has been amazing looking after myself, our brood of fur kids and our home. So this would be be a great treat for him and awesome post birthday present for me! (Birthday is this coming Sunday) 🙂
I would take my wife Nicole Jamieson:-)
She made me the happiest girl in the world on 20 Feb by giving birth to our son. What a gift.
If I was lucky enough to win, I’d take my mom. Her idea to start a township initiative called Dignity in Education to help teenage girls means many times she puts other’s needs before her own. That’s after she puts my father, my brother & myself first. She’s an amazing woman, and doesn’t get the recognition & thanks she deserves. She would relish a weekend away where she can put herself first for a change:)
lools absolutely amazing! Would love to take Kate Leslie
Right on time for my birthday on 8 March!! I would take Louisa Viljoen to repay her for all the brilliant and fantastical times she has given me. They say the best gift is the gift of giving and I’d like to give her this gift on my birthday.
Hi there, first of all I’ve been dreaming of going to grootbos for the pass year. But been saving my money to give my mom a 60th dinner with family and friends . I’ve been checking their website regularly to find any specials but needed to pay the deposit for the 60th recently. And even just today popped through and got my mom a dress on sale by one the clothing retailers. She is quite excited about her 60th so been saving every penny to make her evening very special. For this reason I’ve not been able to splurge on a holiday for myself, I would love to win and be able to go with my fiance. As you can see I’m already following them on Twitter. I am not registered on Facebook and hope that I can still qualify by retweeting your tweet and following you on Twitter. Thank you
I would love to take my husband, Danie, with me for our very first wedding anniversary on the 10th of May. As I am busy with studies and do not have time to plan anything this would be the best gift for both of us. He is a nature love and really think this would be a one in a million experience. Good luck choosing your winner! X
Will definitely take on of my single mom friends Yolanda Havenga! If I could I will take all of them ;-p
Dear Angie!

Now onto more pressing matters 🙂 I would take, my main man – Wesley – Gosh – could we do with a getaway … I am on the verge of pitching a tent in the back yard for a change of scenery at this point so you can imagine that the view from Grootbos would be so much better than my neighbours wall … LOL!

I have no words to convince you that you should pick me as the winner. Everybody has their own life story and their own baggage. One can not compare pain or problems, heartache or sorrows. Everybody deserves a breakaway! So, whoever wins this, please make the most of every single second ♥

If I win this awesome prize, I would love to take my husband with me for our sixth year Anniversary, we haven’t been able to go away alone (have kids) ever and this would be the perfect tie & prize.

Thank you- you have given us a life-after-child again. Looking forward to joyful memories to come.

And this looks like the place to do just that!! We would really love to win this giveaway and are holding thumbs and toes for this breath-taking experience!! Lots of peace and love. Belinda and Johann

This would make me the happiest person in the world. I would love to win and take my Boyfriend Kyle, who has been working overseas for the past 3 months and is home in 2 weeks. 🙂 Yay.
When I was nine, and I used to live in Cape Town, my parents got divorced and my dad moved up to Johanneburg. When he could, he would come down to visit and take me on wild and wacky outings all around Cape Town to cheer me up in the best way that he knew how. We ate fish and chips in newspaper cones at Snoekies on the rocks. We boogie boarded in the ice cold sea at Muizenburg, after hitting Muizenburg slides. We drove up to the Kruger Park spending hours looking for animals. We took long walks (often getting lost) along Silvermine and Kirstenbosch Gardens. We cycled up Chapmans Peak pretending that we were fit enough to do so. We we stayed in hidden bed and breakfasts around Cape Town, just for fun. Every week that Marcel’s ice cream shop in Hout Bay changed it’s flavours, we had to go and sample the new ones, discussing in detail what we were going to try and with which toppings on the way there. And it really did cheer me up – I would live for our outings. Now that over ten years have passed, and I live in the same suburb as my pops – try as we may – we never do any cool outings together. I miss those times, and I would love to take my dad on an outing for a change. A surprise road trip to Cape Town, to stay at Grootbos Private Nature Reserve!
And I twitted.
Also tweeted!

Done done and done. I’ve heard and seen so many amazing things about Grootbos, and would love to explore this and the area with my best friend who has recently relocated to Jozi.
This would be a perfect family get away. We really need this. This would be amazing my husband, myself and my 4 year old boy.

I would take my darling mother, Karen. She is a full-time working mother who decided to, last year, study towards a BCom degree whilst still working full-time. She deserves the most incredible break from all the stresses of life and needs a bit of a breather in between – and because I only see her on weekends, while I am in Stellenbosch studying a BCom myself, I would LOVE to spend a special, relaxing weekend with her.
