Tastefully decorated Riverview rooms which overlook the Tati River. Each room consists of two beds, en-suite facilities and a user friendly, fully equipped kitchenette.

This cottage has all the features of home (plus more)! A secluded private braai area on the river's edge is well positioned for your enjoyment. Camping in your own tents on immaculate lawned sites with braai facilities, power and water points. You make use of the spacious and spotlessly clean centralized ablution facilities. Renowned to be the best campsite in Africa! At the entrance of our property the hunters, missionaries, photographers and explorers of yesteryear have been remembered and honoured with a rock wall and genuine refurbished wagon wheel dating back from that period. A stop there to reflect on the past is well worth the time. The varied habitat of the property, riverine/woodlands & acacia scrub, account for a variety of bird species which can be seen & heard. From the grunting hoots of the Giant Eagle Owl, the enchanting shrill call of the Woodland Kingfisher (after whom we're named), to the fluted notes of the elusive Crimson Breasted Shrike! Come with your binoculars! Our sparkling swimming pool is another welcome site on arrival after a long, hot and dusty journey. Unwind and enjoy! Friendly and helpful staff will welcome you on all occasions.

WHAT AN AMAZING SEASON!
Everything is flourishing and growing.
This committed Red Billed Hornbill is kept very busy feeding a growing family.
They took over the old nesting hole of a Woodland Kingfisher. One of the pair of Kingfishers flew into a glass door last season and killed itself. The spouse was left alone and grieving with no life partner to breed with.
This young HORNBILL family wasted no time in setting up residence and providing us all with lovely bird watching just outside of our Woodlands cottage and Riverview #1 & 2 πŸ¦πŸ¦β€β¬›

2020 COVID HORROR YEAR!
Closed and no business for 18 months.
However, as we look back we have these fond memories of winter 2020!!
The KUDU NEVER LOCKED DOWN! They enjoyed the salt lick, as seen in the pictures, and came right onto the front garden lawn. (apologies for poor photos of Kudu)
They left 'KUDU' paths all through the property cultivating and pruning the gardens without any reservation.
They have never been back quite like this!! How sad??

BUT now is the time to COME & stay with us, away from city lights and noise pollution to experience the beauty of nature all around in the tranquility that Woodlands offers and is known for!!
