*****
“A fantastic three days of casual walking through the fynbos and the dunes. The guide, Christoff, had extraordinary knowledge of the flora and fauna and lead us to the Grootbos HQ where we swam in the dam, the beautiful beach leading to the Klipgat caves and finally the Lomond wine estate. All of this enhanced by great accommodation, food and service at Bellavista. Go with friends and enjoy!”
