The birding is great and the morning chorus is lovely. Very fortunate to see Orange-breasted Bushshrike on nest just outside our chalet!! Special!

Thanks for a lovely venue.

Great rest-over en route to your Botswana destination as it is only a few hours from the border. No fridge so take ice in your cooler box! Take away microwave meals are delicious (microwave in the Office only)."

"Lovely and clean. A very comfortable stopover in our roof top tent. "


"Great stopover"

(England) Valerie Stringer

"The riverside room was really nice with everything we needed and more. A lovely quiet location very close to Francistown. Highly recommended."


"Lovely room"

(England) Valerie Stringer

"The room was spacious and the beds comfortable and there were some touches of luxury. Whilst the kitchen was very compact, there was everything we needed for an overnight stop."


"A wonderful spot"

(South Africa) Cornelis de Moei

"We stayed in the two bedroom cottage, which is a delightful place to be. The cottage is very spacious and has a wonderful outside area. We enjoyed our stay very much."

"This is to express our delight with the quality of the accommodation provided to us on 11th August 2014. The braai packs were tasty and more than we could eat. The rooms were perfectly functional and very tastefully furnished.

The surroundings contributed to a relaxed evening after a long dayÕs driving. Birds a-plenty. No traffic noise. Woken up by the francolins at first light.

I found some nice touches such as the rainwater run off being channeled to the lawns and the bird bath/drinking bowls under the taps."


"HIGHLY RECOMENDED"

(South Africa) marnus ferreira

"Will stay any time at the facility. VERY NEAT and CLEAN and WELL Organized."


"Another great stay"

(South Africa) Ruth Miles

"Thanks for ANOTHER great stay. All 7 of us (including 5 newcomers to Woodlands) really enjoyed our stay after the long hot drive from Queenstown. Believe you will be making a walking/birding trail soon. That will be a GREAT addition. "


"Another great stay at Woodlands"

(South Africa) Ruth Miles

"We have just stayed here for the 4th time. It is fabulous - wish we could find time to stay longer. Keep it up"


"Great destination after a long trip"

(South Africa) Ntebaleng Makgalemele

"We loved our stay at Woodlands. It is truly the best place to stay over and prepare for a long journey back home. The bathrooms were the best we had seen and the hidden jewel is the river that flows by the property!"


"Great stay"

(South Africa) Ruth Miles

"We, at last, managed to arrive early enough in the day to see Woodlands properly and have a much needed swim after the long drive from Jhb. Loved the guest cottage. Staff pleasant and helpful. Will definitely stay there again. Thanks."


"Nice stop over"

(South Africa) Jasper Muller

"What a nice stop over warm welcome clean will make use of Woodlands again."


"Second stay"

(South Africa) Ruth Miles

"Unfortunately, due to car trouble, we arrived late and had to leave early the next day - but the accommodation (on the river) was great. Everything was clean and orderly and the only staff member we saw very helpful. Will definitely stay at Woodlands again. Thanks."

"We arrived at Woodlands at 7pm. On arrival there were 3 staff members in the reception, whom we could barely understand. We were told that there were no self-catering facilities even though it is self-catering accommodation. Then having a look at the food they sold, it was small and at an exorbitant price. They have only a kettle and outside braai as facilities and therefore the frozen food we purchased would in no way have been warmed up unless we insisted on a microwave!"


"Loved it!"

(South Africa) Lily Upton

"We loved staying over at Woodlands! What a lovely room and facilities!"


"Woodlands Stop Over"

(South Africa) Jan Kruger

"First class accommodation.

Highly recommendable."

"We arrived late - the reception staff were very friendly and helpful. Bedside lamps would be a useful addition (and en suite mini bathrooms?) but ablution block was clean as were the rooms. Take your own food to cook (if possible) as the small shop is quite expensive - but it was great that it was there in the first place - after a 12 hour drive we didn't feel like driving back into town to look for a restaurant! Hard to take food with you into Botswana! Nice - will stay there again."


"Woodlands Botswana"

(South Africa) Bingle Ferreira

"At last - someone who understands that noise is as toxic as polluted water. I enjoyed the stay at Woodlands very much. No music - only clean nature bird calls. Pleasant, peaceful , still!!What a joy - will return there God willing soon!"

(South Africa) Casper de la Mar

"Perfect clean place. Enjoyed the stay."

Woodland Stop Over was our first resting place in a busy program. What a surprise to come across this beautiful place. Bought food at the store and it was fantastic. Friendly people who received us. Keep it up.
