What guests think
At Woodhouse Mountain Lodge, travellers highlight striking hilltop scenery, peaceful grounds, panoramic views, and warm, welcoming staff, while also noting the property’s remote access via a long, sometimes challenging unpaved drive.
Breakfasts and dinners are frequently praised, though some mention limited menus, higher prices, or modest cuisine. Guests enjoy the pool, spa and sauna, but maintenance can be inconsistent, with reports of a green pool or an overly hot hot tub. Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable—some newly styled and luxurious—yet a few feel dated, and certain in-room spa baths were out of service. Best suited to travellers seeking a peaceful, nature-focused stay.

I loved my time at Woodhouse! The property was so beautiful. I loved the long, private drive up to the lodge with all the birds and animals. The food at the lodge was delectible, and they had a great wine and cocktail selection. Customer service was incredible - special mention to Ms. Sharleen who gave us great recommendations and was just so kind and welcoming. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Luxury! My husband and I stayed for one night for our 5 year wedding anniversary. We were greeted by lovely staff for our checkin. Very warm and welcoming. We stayed in Villa 10 which was a short walking distance to the pool and spa. We used both of these facilities. There is also a sauna that we didn’t get a chance to use. The Villa was beautifully furnished. It had a modern rustic feel. The bathroom is huge with a shower for two, seperate basins and a bath. The bed was my absolute favourite thing. It was so comfortable and the pillows, linen and duvet were just luxurious. They provided a beautiful sleep mist also. Such incredible small touches. We loved the gas fireplace which we used to warm up after our spa / swim. We had the 3 course meal and a cheeseboard. Every meal was so well thought through and absolutely delicious. The eye fillet is the best steak I’ve had, compliments to the chef. 5 star quality! There was also delicious shortbread provided in the room with the tea and coffee options. A breakfast is also included in the price, good range of choices. My husband and I wished we’d had two nights there. It was just so peaceful and relaxing. We definitely would stay here again and absolutely recommend it. You can feel how much love and effort is put into every detail. Thank you for the amazing hospitality.

We had a wonderful stay for our 25th wedding anniversary. The highlight for us was a swim in the beautiful pool and the spa and sauna as the sun was setting. The breakfast was superb. A very special experience and highly recommended.

Fantastic hilltop views and large clean units. Felt a bit dated and there were a few small issues - jacuzzi tub not functional “due to unavailable parts” (according to the note). Very delicious food in the restaurant. I’d stay again - especially if I had some friends with us. But beware - there is a very challenging drive up to the property.

Probably the nicest place for the money I’ve EVER stayed. Quiet, beautiful setting with spacious, luxurious accommodations. Lodge is situated on top of a hill with panoramic views. “Villas” are widely spaced with big windows and verandahs to take in scenery. Generous tiled en-suite with two-headed shower, spa bath. Luxury is the word that comes to mind.

Woodside Mountain Lodge is a nice hotel in a lovely location once you have driven the twists and turns of the five km of mostly gravel track to find it. Staff members were all very nice indeed. Breakfast and dinner were unremarkable; this is not haute cuisine. We think that they need to do more to merit the four stars.

It was so comfortable and the pillows, linen and duvet were just luxurious. They provided a beautiful sleep mist also. Such incredible small touches. We loved the gas fireplace which we used to warm up after our spa / swim. We had the 3 course meal and a cheeseboard. Every meal was so well thought through and absolutely delicious. The eye fillet is the best steak I’ve had, compliments to the chef. 5 star quality! There was also delicious shortbread provided in the room with the tea and coffee options. A breakfast is also included in the price, good range of choices. My husband and I wished we’d had two nights there. It was just so peaceful and relaxing. We definitely would stay here again and absolutely recommend it. You can feel how much love and effort is put into every detail. Thank you for the amazing hospitality.
Luxury! My husband and I stayed for one night for our 5 year wedding anniversary. We were greeted by lovely staff for our checkin. Very warm and welcoming. We stayed in Villa 10 which was a short walking distance to the pool and spa. We used both of these facilities. There is also a sauna that we didn’t get a chance to use. The Villa was beautifully furnished. It had a modern rustic feel. The bathroom is huge with a shower for two, seperate basins and a bath. The bed was my absolute favourite thing.

We had a wonderful stay for our 25th wedding anniversary. The highlight for us was a swim in the beautiful pool and the spa and sauna as the sun was setting. The breakfast was superb. A very special experience and highly recommended.

Woodside Mountain Lodge is a nice hotel in a lovely location once you have driven the twists and turns of the five km of mostly gravel track to find it. Staff members were all very nice indeed. Breakfast and dinner were unremarkable; this is not haute cuisine. We think that they need to do more to merit the four stars.

This hotel was indeed a special find even though road access was more difficult - narrow gravel road - it was worth it! Lovely accommodation with great breakfast included in room rate. We enjoyed dinner the previous evening which was also excellent with a good selection of wines. Views were magnificent and staff welcoming and friendly. A wonderful stay.
