In this day and age we know that greeting your homepage visitors with something visually spectacular, especially if you’re offering five-star luxury accommodation, is of the utmost importance.

We’re not talking silly graphics and bright colours, this isn’t the 80’s and what people want to see has changed greatly as the internet has gathered steam. We’re talking high-quality, informative and entertaining content that showcases exactly what you’re all about.

Props to the folks at Grootbos then for their sensational introductory video to all that this fantastic place has to offer – a one of a kind African experience unlike any other you will come across.

The magic of our unique fynbos flora and fauna, the proximity to the Marine Big Five, a voice-over complete with sweeping majestic shots and well-crafted music – they’re all there in what resembles a Hollywood blockbuster trailer.

When you’re talking just a two-hour drive from Cape Town, it becomes obvious that we should be looking at Grootbos Lodge, the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. Have a look below at just how diverse the area really is and one can’t help but get a bit giddy about living in the Cape.

We should also remember Grootbos is more than just a luxury lodge, it is also closely involved with the conservation efforts in the area and the development of sustainable nature-based livelihoods amongst local communities.

Any chance we can get the voice-over guy to read out our local news? Might just make the process slightly more bearable.
