Grootvlei Guest Farm is situated 6km from the charming fishing village of Lambert’s Bay with its moderate climate all year round.  It is within walking distance of the Atlantic Ocean and its long, uninterrupted white beaches. 

During the flower season from July to early October each year, the area is covered with a tapestry of brightly coloured wild-flowers.  Conservation of the dune vegetation has seen the return of small game and you may spot a duikertjie or other buck on an early morning walk. 

Birdwatchers will have a field day spotting a large variety of birds, or if you are lucky, you may see Heaviside’s dolphins, whales and seals frolicking in the blue waters a short distance from the beach.  

Grootvlei Guest Farm boats 2 accommodation establishments.  Grootvlei Guest House B & B (TGC 4 stars), a spacious double storey homestead offers 7 stylishly decorated double bedrooms. All rooms treat guests to luxurious bed linen, an en suite bathroom with shower and pampering toiletries, satellite TV and a coffee/tea station.  The various lounge areas and outside patios ensure a restful retreat after a busy day exploring the West Coast.  

The Grootvlei On the Dunes B & B (TGC 3 stars), situated amidst the dunes at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, comprises four individual en suite units, each one uniquely furnished and decorated with meticulous attention to detail.  The Grand Suite comes with fireplace, luxurious king size bed and a unique open roofed, shell shaped bath/shower where one can refresh while gazing at the stars and listening to the crashing waves.  The freestanding communal lounge area offers uninterrupted views of the beach, a sheltered veranda and a cosy fireplace. 

Grootvlei GuestFarm has 2 event venues.  “Innituin” venue is set amongst Grootvlei's spreading gardens and multiple water features.  Borrowing from the traditional West Coast latjieshuis (reed house) look, the venue's outer walls are clad with a reed finish.   An impressive oval shaped, double volume roof complete with intricate, exposed wooden beams, adds to the drama of the structure. The venue lends itself perfectly to large special occasions such as weddings, conferences and the performing arts.  The size of the venue allows for seating up to 250 guests, cinema style seating for up to 600 concert goers and schoolroom seating for approximately 120 conference attendees.

The “Oppiduin” venue, an intimate space fronting the crashing waves on the beach below, captures the rugged, unpretentious soul of the West Coast.  Constructed with a unique shell clad exterior and natural flooring of shells collected from the surrounding beaches, the oval shaped building with lattice roofing lends itself to informal entertaining and smaller sized special occasions - whether it be a memorable wedding reception, the authentic closure of a team building experience or hosting the performing arts in a unique setting.   

With comprehensive event coordination-, catering- and decor/florist services available in house, the Grootvlei team will assist in hosting your special event.
