Perfect location with adorable bush babies at night.

Woodlands Bush Lodge is a beautiful facility located within a private game reserve close to everything you could need in Hoedspruit. The house is located along one of the greenways, so we had lots of animal activity around. You can walk or drive through the reserve. There aren't supposed to be predators, but there was a leopard close by while we were there, which was exciting - but you are never at risk. The keystone moment, though, was the bushbabies at night. We had 3-5 come in right after sunset while we were on the braai. Apparently these are regular guests, so expect to see them if you go. Great experience, we will be back! Thank you.

Goeie gesinsvakansie-eenheid.

Die opset werk baie goed vir gesinne. Met die afsonderlike leefarea pla dit niemand wanneer mens vroegoggend of laat aand koffie wil maak nie. Die diertjies wat in die oggende kom kuier en terwyl mens in die aand braai, maak dit baie gesellig.

Great family vacation unit.

The setup works very well for families. With the separate living area, it doesn't bother anyone when you want to make coffee early in the morning or late at night. The animals that come to visit in the mornings and while you are barbecuing in the evening make it very cozy.

A nature lover's paradise.

From the moment we walked through the garden gate we were blown away by the beautiful surroundings. The layout of the lodge and garden is magnificent. Our original plan was to use the lodge as a base to explore the surroundings, but that didn't happen. We spent all our time in the garden and pool enjoying the wildlife that visited. Thanks so much Claudi for sharing this special place with us and for all the little extras that were supplied. It was much appreciated.

Ongelooflike bosveld-ervaring in luukse, skoon verblyf.

Woodlands Bush Lodge het al ons verwagtinge oortref wat betref ligging, uitleg, luuksheid en waarde vir geld. Ons groep van vriende en familie was na 5 dae se verblyf dit eens dat ons veel langer sou kon bly. Ons beplan reeds om weer te kom. Die terrein in die eko-landgoed bied pragtige bosveld en is ideaal vir stap, draf en fietsry tussen die wild en natuurskoon. Die gasvrou, Claudi, is baie geneë om te help met raad oor aktiwiteite en is baie toeganklik vir enige navrae. Met ons aankoms was die tee, koffie en beskuit asook brandhout 'n aangename verrassing. Ek kan Woodlands Bush Lodge onvoorwaardelik aanbeveel.

Incredible bushveld experience in luxury, clean accommodation.

Woodlands Bush Lodge exceeded all our expectations in terms of location, layout, luxury and value for money. Our group of friends and family agreed after a 5 day stay that we could have stayed much longer. We are already planning to come again. The terrain in the eco-estate offers beautiful woodland and is ideal for walking, jogging and cycling amongst the wildlife and scenery. The hostess, Claudi, is very willing to help with advice on activities and is very approachable for any queries. Upon our arrival, the tea, coffee and biscuits as well as firewood were a pleasant surprise. I can recommend Woodlands Bush Lodge unreservedly.

Asemrowend, netjies en baie rustig.

Ons tyd by Woodlands Bush Lodge was asemrowend. Alles was daar wat ons nodig gehad het. Dit het ons verwagting heeltemal oortref. Ons was twee gesinne met kinders tussen 4 en 12 en almal het dit geniet. Die wild wat so voor die huis loop was fantasties. Die huis self is uitstekend toegerus. Skoon en netjies.

Ons kuiertjie by julle was ongelooflik lekker. Ons is mal oor die uiteensetting van die eenheid.

Ideale plek vir ontspan. Die logging en omgewing is pragtig. Julle verblyf is perfek. Ons was 2 gesinne elk met 2 kinders en dit was perfek. Ons het een van die fietsry roetes gedoen en dot vreeslik geniet. Ons sien julle verseker wees.

A splendid and special time spent at this wonderful, well-equipped house.

Nice place to relax, swim, braai and watch the stars. Lots of entertainment by the local animals coming for a sip of water and a mud bath. Good place for long walks, and if you have a bicycle, bring it because the cycling tracks are a must. And very important: bring lots of bananas and mangoes for the resident bush babies – they do love a treat.

Fantastiese, rustige wegbreek in die pragskoon natuur.

Wat 'n heerlike wegbreek naweek by so fantastiese blyplek, kon nie beter vra nie. So goed toegerus met alles en meer waarvoor mens kon vra, die besoeke van die nagapies teen sononder was 'n belewenis! Veilig, netjies, luuks en bowenal rustig! Voorwaar battery laai plek!

5-ster-verblyf. Alles mooi skoon en netjies. Toegerus met alles soos in jou eie huis. Ons het die besoeke van die diere geniet by die watergat, sowel as die wildrit op die landgoed self. Sal dit beslis aanbeveel vir 'n lekker bosvakansie.

Fantastische Lodge, erg goede ligging.

Deze Lodge is ons erg goed bevallen! De ligging aan de rand van het wildlife resort zorg ervoor dat de dieren vlak aan je tuin komen! (Vlakvark, Rooibok, Kameelperd en prachtige vogels). De Nagappies hebben ons veel plezier gegeven! Ook bedden, badkamers, keuken en prachtige braaiplek voldeden ruim aan onze verwachting!
