Lovely, clean and well worth the price.

It's a lovely place; unfortunately, we were only there overnight but will definitely return for a longer stay. The room was comfortable with enough space. Breakfast was awesome.

On one of the coldest nights of the year, we had a wonderfully warm overnight stay at The Woodpecker Guesthouse. The room was attractive and comfortable. We had a very pleasant overnight stay. Thank you!

Opregte vriendelikheid en gasvryheid het ons verblyf besonders gemaak.

Opregter, vriendeliker, gasvryer mense as ons gasvrou en gasheer by The Woodpecker het ons nog nooit raakgeloop in ons reise deur die land nie! Die kamer is ruim en gerieflik ingerig en die gastehuis is in 'n stil area waar ons veilig gevoel het. Ons gasvrou het ons met die heerlikste kos bederf wat baie keurig opgedien is. Ons kan die gastehuis met vrymoedigheid aanbeveel.

More sincere, more friendly, hospitable people than our hostess and host at The Woodpecker have never been encountered in our travels around the country! The room is spacious and comfortably furnished and the guest house is in a quiet area where we felt safe. Our hostess spoiled us with the most delicious food that was served very nicely. We can recommend the guesthouse with confidence.

Rustig en gemaklik.

Ons het daar oornag tydens 2018 Kersiefees. By ons aankoms was die kamer gereed en kon ons die middag heerlik ontspan na 'n lang en baie warm dag op die pad. Tydens ons verblyf was al die gaste rustig en was daar regtig niks om oor te kla nie. Alles was skoon en netjies, met veilige parkering. Alhoewel dit so ongeveer 2 km van die feesterrein af was, kon ons steeds sommer na 'n Spar toe gestap het, wat 'n aangename ervaring was so in die platteland, veral as mens uit die stede kom en dit nie sommer doen nie. Die volgende dag kon ons van daar af by verskeie kersieplase aandoen waar daar verdere fees-aktiwiteite was. Die ontbyt was ook heel aangenaam. Ek weet dit was uitsonderlik warm, maar 'n swembad sou lekker gewees het, maar by gebrek daaraan, het ons na die 'water features' gekyk en geluiser.

Quiet and comfortable.

We spent the night there during the 2018 Kersiefees. Upon our arrival, the room was ready and we could relax in the afternoon after a long and very hot day on the road. During our stay, all the guests were calm and there was really nothing to complain about. Everything was clean and tidy, with secure parking. Although it was about 2 km from the festival grounds, we could still have walked straight to a Spar, which was a pleasant experience in the countryside, especially if you come from the cities and don't just do it. The next day we were able to visit several cherry farms from there where there were further festival activities. The breakfast was also very pleasant. I know it was exceptionally hot, but a pool would have been nice, but lacking that, we looked at the 'water features' and listened.

Persoonlike diens. Netjies en gerieflik. Lekker ontbyt!

Erika het ons baie tuis laat voel. Heerlik gekuier en sy het ons ook baie nuttige inligting voorsien van besienswaardighede in die omgewing. Sal enige tyd weer soontoe gaan.

Baie lekker.

Aangename twee dae by Woodpecker deurgebring. Was veral beïndruk met die uitleg van die terrein/tuin. Die kamer was gerieflik en goed toegerus, die bestuur vriendelik en gasvry, terwyl die ontbyt heerlik was. Sal beslis weer daar wil kuier!

Home away from home.

Goeie waarde vir geld. Ons kamer was skoon en gerieflik en heerlik warm teen die Oos-Vrystaat se koue. Geleë aan die kant van die dorp in 'n rustige stil area. Daar is voldoende sekuriteit binne en buite. Ons gasvrou Eureka het ons baie goed ontvang en dadelik tuis laat voel. Alles hier is van hoogstaande gehalte.

Goeiedag Florinda,

Baie dankie vir jou pragtige terugvoer, dis mense soos julle wat dit die moeite werd maak om elke dag meer as jou beste vir al ons gaste te gee.

'n Geseënde week vir jou week.

Woodpecker met all our needs.

Incredible attention to detail, comfortable bedrooms each with its own verandah, efficient hostess, excellent dinner and tasty breakfast. It is rare to find a B&B which offers dinner. After a long trip one doesn't always want to go out looking for a restaurant at night, and in Ficksburg the choice is limited anyway.
