We planned going to the Amakhala Woodbury Lodge on next day. We decided to stay at Leeuwenbosch for one night as it was 5 minutes to drive to Woodbury Lodge. We were very impressive with Leeuwenbosch because it was so beautiful and enjoyed our one night staying at Leeuwenbosch - everything were met our needs. We are highly recommendation to anyone must go there! Staff is so friendly and warm host to our check in. We would love to come back here again in the future. Luke & Jackie from Bury, England

Air conditioning would be nice but the fan was sufficient considering it was cooler.

We loved the setting, the accommodation, the food, the staff, the game drive and absolutely everything (including the lack of load shedding).

No curtain on our room door which was glass and opened to outside.

Comfortable beds, and large room. The food was amazing. Staff were lovely and the grounds were beautiful.

Fabulous place to stay and visit Amakhala game park and Addo National Elephant Reserve. Staff and guides are excellent and have us memories for a lifetime seeing Elephants, Rhinos, and even lions very close up plus all the other animals in the wild.

Some of the lighting on the paths was inadequate and the lack of WiFi in the rooms also disappointing. There was also some road noise during the night.

Excellent breakfast with a good choice and evening dinner also good with a good choice of wine served. Also liked the animals walking around the garden.

There was nothing wrong with it

I loved the setting. The main house is stunning but I loved Shearer’s Lodge because it was set further back and my room was spacious and appealing. The gardens and vegetation are fabulous especially when you find a beautiful zebra munching away at the grass on your front lawn. I also loved the set up - the game drives and meals were all organised and as I was travelling alone, it made me feel comfortable and at ease.

Unavailable Wi-Fi in most part

Old charm house with less comfort

The pillows need replacing. Some of the staff needed a bit more training on local knowledge. The property is right on the N2 which is great from travelling point of view but does disturb the peace and tranquility offered

This property was really great with a lot of history attached. Rooms were clean and well prepared. Dinner and breakfast were really tasty. There is a wonderful little pub to have pre dinner drinks. We did not go on a game drive but saw kudu, zebra and warthog from our stoep.

The location was perfect and the safari in the Amakhala reserve was amazing. The landscape was magic and we have memories that will stay forever. The lodge was also very confortable, and charming. Dinner and breakfast were both delicious. Similar to what you will get in a fancy restaurant.

A must do, this is a very special experience you won't forget!

only issue we had was the hot water flow to the shower but apparently this was being addressed and is a temporary thing which is true as we didnt have the issue last time.

The staff are great, Nomonde is a great manager and a proper human being. Ouboet, the ranger is the best we have experienced. staff like Sandy and the other ladies and gents are great! this was our 2nd time this year, its affordable and the food is great- Accom, incl bfast and dinner plus wine with the dinner is really good value compared to a lot of the other operators in the area. Its not 5 star, hence the affordability, but the game vehicles are the same as the 5 star lodges, the game experience is equal or better because of their experienced rangers. so if you love the bush, want a laid back break to be with wildlife with really good, clean and generous sized accommodation, lots of space to walk around, great food and warm service, then this is the place to go, we will definitely be back.

Amazing hospitality from everyone Great food Super comfortable bed

At first I was a bit concerned about being close to the N2 highway but honestly when you in your bedroom with the thick of walls and trees surrounding the lodge, it’s not a concern at all.

from the moment we arrived till the moment we left we were made to feel very welcomed and nothing was too much trouble. everyone e was so hospitable and kind.

Such an authentic experience. The farm has an amazing family history. The game drives with Mali were exceptional. Its not an enormous reserve and very soon we had seen Elephants, Zebra, Giraffe and even a lion. The food is excellent home cooking. The staff really friendly and informative and overall it’s great value for money. This isn’t a high end luxury game experience but an honest and authentic one. I can’t wait to come back!

Since they do not have back-up power, during load shedding, it was not so convenient. (No internet, no water as water pump works with electricity ,no shower ). We experienced a big storm and some power lines were hit in the region; and we had no electricity and water for two days ! Some people decided to checkout because of that.

Property was right next / on the game park and we had an amazing game tour with great ranger. Very peaceful property with great history, spacious room, large bed. Friendly and helpful staff!

2nd time we’ve stayed there and just as good as the first. This is a great and far more cost effective way of safariing in Amkala Nature Reserve.The house and lodge are furnished in an old Dutch farm style which is lovel and the gardens/ pool make it unique in the area. Far cheaper than the lodges in the park and only across the road so the safaris are exactly the same!

Great value stay in Amakhala game reserve. Lovely grounds with lots of wildlife. Great game drives in the reserve - we got so close to rhinos, giraffes, zebras and even saw a cheetah. Breakfast and dinner were delicious, lovely swimming pool.
