Unbelievable spot of paradise just 10 minutes drive from Addo game park. This place is tranquil, beautiful and relaxing. From bird watching on the verandah, the spa, Freddie the pianist, Eduan and the rest of the team. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was divine.

Outstanding, friendly hotel near Addo Elephant

Simply outstanding hotel near Addo Elephant Park. Special mention for Edwin on front of house who accomodated our dietary needs perfectly. The food was simply spectacular at both breakfast and dinner and the setting overlooking a pond with weaver birds is very special. The photos dont do justice to the welcome you receive as the futnishings are a little old school, but the room size and facilities are very good. Trips to Addo on their landcruiser were easy and trouble free.

Wunderschöne, sehr gepflegte Unterkunft. Die Manager Eduan und Freddie tun alles, um einen rundum entspannten Aufenthalt sicher zu stellen. Rund 10 Fahrminuten zum Haupttor des Addo-Parks. Das Essen, gerade auch das Frühstück, war ausgezeichnet. Und auch wir hatten das Glück, an allen drei Abenden beim Abendessen von Eddie und seinem Klavier begleitet zu werden. Vielen Dank an Eduan und Freddie!

A very relaxing stay to kick off our South Africa experience Woodhall is a beautiful niche property - very much in the middle of nowhere, although very close to the Addo Elephant Park. Great value for money as well. Fantastic five course tasting dinner, accompanied by Freddie's piano skills and a frog chorus from the dam. Outstanding and personal service from a friendly team. Lovely touches, our car was cleaned prior to departure, and we loved the double outside shower (there were showers inside the cottage too for those not brave enough to bathe al fresco!)

Short stay in Addo

An absolutely wonderful stay at Woodall. Everything was 5* in particular the service from all of the staff. There were lots of personal touches throughout the stay and the attention to detail was amazing. The food was incredible and dinner was great value considering the quality of food. We also used the spa which was lovely. Would definitely stay again and would recommend to anyone coming to the Addo area.

This hotel is better in real life than in pictures

Wow! This hotel looks better in real life than in pictures. We had a gorgeous and spacious rooms with private showers also outside. They have absolutely beautiful garden with a lot of flowers. The service was excellent if you do not take in account the waiting time for breakfast or lunch food. We enjoyed the set dinner in their beautiful restaurant. In some reviews the restaurant had been compared with Michelin star restaurants. I would not raise expectations that high to avoid disappointment, but the food was good. Woodall organized safaris for us and they were good value as well. I would recommend one game drive in Addo with Woodall driver and another one in close by some of the private parks. They are quite different and complement each other. We went to Schotia for another safari. We saw a lot of animals, but felt that it was a bit too touristic and crowded and would have enjoyed a more private experience. We enjoyed our stay in Woodall and highly recommend it. By staying there you can enjoy a luxury hotel and game drives with reasonable cost. Note: Spa facials I cannot recommend if you have a sensitive skin. It took a few days to cover from the treatment with my skin peeling off...

Wunderbares Country House inmitten von Zitronenbäume. Wir kommen immer wieder an diesen Ort zurück, die 5 verschiedenen Zimmer sind jeweils total grosszügig und geschmackvoll möbeliert. Das Frühstück ist mit viel liebe zu kleinen detail sehr schön präsentiert. Hilfsbereites Personal übersll und die Ausflüge werden kompetent organisieren.Ein guter Ort auch zum Addo Elefantenpark-nur 7km zum Main Gate. Ein SPA ist vorhanden mit super ausgebildetem Personal. Ausspannen und Geniessen ist der Ort PERFEKT.Wir kommen sicher wieder.

Amazing birdlife and superb dinner!

We had a very relaxing stay at Woodall Country House & Spa. The dinner was superb and the birdlife amazing (red bishops and humming-birds). The SPA treatment was also very professional. The old style of the rooms has its charme and the service was great! Manager and Staff are very friendly. What we did not like were the bathroom taps which were arranged way too low. This could be easily improved though. Recommended!

A wonderful setting for exploring Addo Elephant Park and surrounding areas. The restaurant was great, we had our own little outdoor pool, and it is only 45 minutes from Port Elizabeth. The half day guided visit of the park gets five stars.

We loved this lodge! The staff were so friendly & efficient & nothing was too much trouble. Our room, lounge area & bathroom were so spacious with first class furniture, appliances, fittings, linen & towels - everything to make your stay an enjoyable one. We had 2 memorable evening meals - a 5 course set menu with choices. The presentation was excellent & the food delicious. The breakfast was a superb display of fresh items as well as a menu with special dishes of the day. Not to mention champagne! We can also highly recommend the spa. All in all a wonderful stay - we left feeling pampered & spoilt - thank you.

Service, Personal sind top. Die Preise für Getränke und Dinner sind überhöht. Man provitiert eindeutig davon, dass in der Nähe keine besonderen Restaurants zu finden sind. Nichtsdestotrotz war das Essen sehr gut.
