The Woodpecker Guesthouse is ideally located in Ficksburg. The guest house offers a tranquil garden abounds with water features that attract the abundant bird life.

Accommodation is offered in 13 rooms; 8 rooms can accommodate 2 guests on double beds; 2 rooms can accommodate 3 guests on a double and single bed; and 3 rooms can accommodate 4 guests.

We are centrally situated on the Maluti Route, nestled amidst the mountains Eastern Free State. The majestic Maluti’s form a backdrop of purple haze in summer, and transform to snow-capped peaks during winter. Up in the hills of the Maluti Mountains are numerous caves with lovely examples of San rock art. The town of Ficksburg is the gateway to Lesotho and the Katse Dam, which is definitely something to see. Ficksburg is best known today for its annual Cherry Festival, the oldest festival in South Africa, which takes place each November. This region offers its natural beauty and unlimited possibilities for outdoor enthusiasts, such as a dinner cruise along the Meulspruit Dam, fly-fishing in the mountain streams, quad biking, pony trekking, hiking, and in winter snow skiing in Lesotho.
