Recently stayed at Woodbury Lodge & honestly can’t recommend enough. The staff were exceptional - extremely accommodating & went above & beyond to make our trip memorable. Our expert rangers were fantastic (Nico & Donovan). Attentive, knowledgeable & personable which added to the overall experience. The lodge was well presented & always clean. The food…delicious & filling (even for someone with special dietary requirements) Let’s not forget the safari outings & bushwalk! Mind blowing! We saw all of the Big 5 animals & thanks to our rangers, more than I expected! Thanks all for making our trip to SA so special!

What can I say other than a wonderfully authentic game reserve with amazing staff and our guide Donovan was fabulous . Funny knowledgeable interesting safe and just so comfortable and attentive to all of us. He made our stay all the staff did. Just a beautiful place to feel at one with all what’s good about being on a game reserve. Not hoarders of tourists trying to see everything sometimes it seemed like just one vehicle in all that beautiful space. and not loads of trucks following each other like cattle . We had lovely story telling around the camp fire the Manager Tim joined us for dinner and shared his lifestyle of living and working in such a wonderful place. I would gladly have spent more time with them in that location truly a fab place to be. Hot chocolate at night was delicious and Poppy was a sweetheart, she could not do enough to make us feel at home. We didn’t have to wait for a barman we just helped ourselves and no one abused that privilege it felt like home. Great place

We travelled here after 2 days in Camps Bay for a 3 night safari. Overall we had 6 game drives which enabled us to see 4 of the big 5! We didn’t manage to see a leapord unfortunately. We enjoyed our stay here as it worked for our next destination and we got to see plenty of animals.

We spent 2 nights at Woodbury Lodge shortly after a 4 night stay in Sabi Sands, and were really glad that we did! The lodge is nicely located on a hill, very comfortable and with great views and throughout our short visit we were continually impressed by the service and friendliness of the staff. Our first drive shortly after we arrived was super! We really wanted to see a Cheetah (didn’t find one in Sabi Sands) and with Brad our guide we managed to see one. Brad has a great knowledge about wildlife, birds and plants and we saw a lot on the 4 drives, some of which we hadn‘t seen in Sabi Sands because of the different type of vegetation. On the last drive we saw 4 lions with a kill; just super! Also, they restricted the number of cars at a game sighting to 2, and kept a respectful distance from the animals while ensuring really good viewing. Food was good and plenty (they were happy to meet special requests), and the open bar made life easy not always having to wait for a bartender. We will definitely recommend Woodbury Lodge to our friends.

An excellently organised offering. Safari drives well thought out, accommodation, food and service all without fault. WiFi available in the main areas but not lodges no doubt with their attention to detail this will be resolved in due course. Highly recommended.

Our first Safari Experience. A lovely lodge in beautiful surroundings overlooking the Bushman's River and a large plain. Very comfortable room with all facilities provided as expected and advertised. Very welcoming staff who were always cheerful and obliging. Our Guide for our four drives was Seamus who went out of his way to ensure that they were enjoyable and very informative. We saw a terrific selection of wildlife including Lions, Rhinos, Giraffes and a multitude of others. Most of the food was very good although some was average. Overall very enjoyable and highly recommended.

Rooms very comfortable and spacious. Main reason to stay is for access to the safari park which runs all around the lodge. All inclusive basis, with unlimited access to the self service bar - wine, beer , premium spirits etc. 2 game drives per day are included and the guides are first class - really get you up close to thje animals. there are plans for an extended sun deck and bigger pool, which will enhance the overall experience. Animals can be seen from the bedroom windows

We had a wonderful two night stay at Woodbury Lodge. Tim was very responsive to emails I had sent months in advance of our stay. The lodge is conveniently located about an hour east of Port Elizabeth off of the N2; however, seems a world away from any city. Parking was available at the lodge. Upon arrival, we were promptly greeted, given a welcome drink, and shown to our room. The room is very spacious, clean, and comfortable and the entire lodge is set in a very peaceful and beautiful area. We loved having our breakfast and lunch outside and enjoyed the nightly fire. The food and drinks were excellent and included alcohol in the rate. The staff were all very helpful and friendly and it was great to have meals with the other guests staying at the lodge. We enjoyed our game drives and were able to see lions, elephants, cheetahs, giraffes, a water buffalo, and many different types of antelopes. Would definitely recommend Woodbury Lodge for a great safari in the Eastern Cape!

Woodbury Lodge is a fantastic experience. The main attraction is the game drives, led by knowledgable guides in radio contact with each other. This means you've got a good chance of seeing lots of animals. We had some close views of elephant, rhino and giraffe, and saw cheetah as well. What isn't obvious when making a booking is that the rate is all inclusive (breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks and two game drives a day).

Our three day stay at Woodbury was wonderful from start to finish. Tim, the front desk manager greeted us and took our luggage up to our "room with a view". Jason, our driver and Safari guide, was knowledgable and very proficient. Thankfully he knew the dirt roads very well and also where the animals were likely to be spotted. We saw everything except the elusive leopard. The food was delicious, well prepared and presented. The bread is exceptional. (thanks for the recipe, Katrin) Thank you to all for a memorable experience. Gill and Terry, Canada.
