Overall Ratings & Reviews Woodall Country House & Spa

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.

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.

We only stayed for one night. However the room was good, service was friendly and dinner was nice. Would stay again.

Excellent service and amazing food and rooms

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!)

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.

Fantastic place. Added it last minute and wish we had booked longer!

Very nice spacious room and bathroom. The staff could not have been nicer. Location is very convenient for ADDO national park. Overall a very pleasant experience

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.

Great overall- huge room with very comfortable bed. Food was beyond 5 star, only complaint was that there was too much. Guide for addo park was very knowledgeable, we saw lots of game including literally hundreds of elephants.

very friendly welcome by Edwin. Extremely comfortable, our room was huge, sitting area, bedroom,enormous bathroom, and outside hot and cold showers. Lots of complementary drinks. Everything about the Woodall Country House and Spa oozes quality and sumptuousness. The food was superb, and well presented Easy to get to the Addo Elephant Park

Everything from the early email exchanges arranging tours of Addo, to the welcome, the tour, the food, the room and the service was absolutely perfect. Having stayed in 100's of hotels in dozens of countries this would definitely be one of the best. The attention to detail and personal experience could not be faulted. As an example - we were booked for an official night drive via the Addo park but as we were running late there would of been no time to eat so without asking Edwin had arranged us a table out of hours for on completion of the tour. Additionally they rearranged spa staff hours to accommodate one of our party. In the evening that we did dine at the hotel - a personalised vegetarian menu was specially prepared for our touring herbivore! I'd highly recommend doing a tour of Addo via Woodall as their guides and vehicle are fantastic. Sitting high up in the land cruiser allows you to see a lot easier above the bush of the reserve. Tip: make sure you take some good binoculars with you as the park is massive

We did not expect our room to actually be a suite and so luxurious. After three solid days of safari, this was a wonderful place to relax. Woodall is only 9 minutes away from the entrance to Addo Elephant National Park. Perfect.

OMG 2 nights at Woodhall what a treat.beutiful hotel wonderful staff amazing food (a bit expensive) but a must if your in the addo area. Top class would reccomEnd to anyone .

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!

Alles perfect! Als we dan kritisch moeten zijn, dan was het dat we er waren net in de week van Europese schoolvakanties en Woodall populair blijkt bij gezinnen met jonge kinderen, terwijl wij rust verwachten in zo’n dure accommodatie.

Sehr nahe am Addo, sehr schöne, gepflegte Gartenanlage! Auto wurde gewaschen, und es war sehr sehr schmutzig. Zimmer großzügig, ein wenig Alt Style. Würde es wieder buchen.

Der Aufenthalt war vom Anfang bis zum Ende ein absolutes Highlight. Unterkunft ein Traum. Vom Service mit Dubai zu vergleichen. Fruehstueck und Abendessen jeden Tag ein Erlebnis. Die beiden Ausflugstouren mit Larry eine bleibende Erinnerung.Und das ganze vom Hotel aus.Absolut empfehlenswert.
