Nestled in between Afromontane forest teeming with ancient yellowwood, stinkwood and ironwood trees, the reserve now boasts 11 modern cottages characterised with green building technology.

Originally known as Melkhoutskraal, the Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve encompasses 250 hectares of indigenous forest in the Langeberg region, close to Heidelberg. The name translates to “big father” in honour of Roelof Oelofse who owned the land in 1723. It has only been a reserve since 1986 and was declared a World Heritage Site in 2004.
