Nothing.

The estate is located close to a shopping complex with a variety of restaurants and shops, however within the estate there is a club house which is a minute walk away from the property, or like half a minute depending on how fast you walk, really convenient for any food or drink items you might need throughout your stay. Special thanks to Randall and Alinah, they were very welcoming at reception and were there whenever I needed anything. Arrived a little late in the afternoon so only got to meet the other staff during breakfast and they were quite welcoming and respectful too. The breakfast was great! Really sorry for breaking the blind :(

The staff. They were of the best I have experienced at any hotel I have been. They went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and comfortable. Incredible ambassadors for Bothe Woodpecker and South Africa.

Nothing NOT to like.

A bit retro, a bit modern. In a word, balanced. Absolute delight!

Breakfast was so delicious, I also loved the presentation. Location of the the lodge is exceptional, beautiful nature views and walking distance to the club house.

Nothing, in all honesty this was the first time ever that we booked in somewhere and i didn't find something not up to standard. The whole place was just amazing, clean, beautiful, professional, safe and amazing staff!

We travelled for our best friends bachelorette, we arrived after 9pm and the staff were still there and more than helpful, accepting and accommodating, when she noticed my best friend in her bridal outfit she asked me politely if she can change our rooms so the bride to be gets the slightly bigger one ( i would've gotten it because i made the reservation) and i was so surprised that she wanted to do that because it rarely happens that staff think about such things and i can't appreciate that more, this place was far beyond amazing and we absolutely LOVED all the staff we encountered!

All Staff were Extremely friendly and assisting at all times. Peaceful surroundings, Central, food was great, room was older furnished but very neat and comfortable. Patio for breakfast with most stunning setting on golf course and with beautiful vegetation. Always felt safe and enjoyed the surroundings and walks.

Furniture is a little old but that’s the style of the place

Beautiful estate, relatively spacious room, large TV, renovated bathroom, nice bathroom amenities towels and linens, excellent peaceful breakfast served at your table.

I can’t think of any negatives at all.

Fantastic location, a real oasis of tranquility yet only a few minutes from Menlyn Mall and seconds away from the Woodhill clubhouse and first tee. The staff made our party feel as if we were staying with friends rather than in a hotel. Whatever your reason for staying I can’t recommend The Woodpecker Inn highly enough. I hope to return soon!

The toilet seat was loose, but I reported it and I am sure they will fix it now. If things like this doesn't get reported, it won't get fixed because it is something you cannot see. You have to sit on the seat to notice it.

The breakfast was exceptional. The guy at reception was really friendly and made me feel welcome. I will definitely be back.
