Lovely room with nice outside space with excellent views. Beds were comfortable. Good bathroom with excellent shower and bath. Nice pool area. Quaint bar for pre-dinner drinks and excellent meals with friendly staff in a traditional setting. Good breakfast options. We booked our game drives separately and these were very enjoyable and included a good lunch. Interesting to meet other guests at breakfast and dinner to learn from their experiences and knowledge of the area.

Handover from initial check in to room allocation seemed a little unstructured. Lodges are very close to each other so not particularly private. Rooms were very dark.

Sitting on a real old fashion stoep with a warthogfamily playing on the grass , yet watchful of our every move. Comfy bed, clean linen to wake up to a majestic sunrise ( hmm watching from the stoep!) And yes sunset breathtaking -again from the stoep . We earn the badge stoepsitters!!! The staff is super friendly and our cleaning lady was the best , she was ever ready ,every where without we seeing her.Food- simply delicious . The game drive with Liam was chilling exciting with 2 lions an 3 cheetahs-woh!

The highway that break into the orchestra of nature.

The whole team were amazing and it felt like one big family- nothing was too much!! The rangers were very knowledgeable, and communicated expertly with one another to ensure you had the best chance of sightings. The reserve has grown significantly since my last visit 14years ago and remains as beautiful as I remembered. The rooms were super comfy, with huge beds and modernised bathrooms. The pool area was lovely, overlooking the reserve with frequent wildlife visitors, making for a great refreshing dip between game drives. The food was delicious! We couldn’t fault it and can’t wait to come back.

How short our stay was!!!!

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.

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.

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

The staff was very kind. They pampered us with welcome drinks, flowers in the room, and delicious dishes. The game drive was perfect—we managed to see the Big Five and much more, with lots of interesting explanations and stories. The colonial-style rooms made it feel like stepping into another era. Everything was perfect. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

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 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

Loved this place ,like home from home,highlight of our holiday. Fantastic food served with other people there ,making it very sociable. Great game drive ,unfortunately the weather wasn’t good to us that day but Blankets and ponchos are provided ,very comfortable and saw all the big 5 . Thankyou so much Nomonde for our wonderful stay !

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.

There was nothing wrong with it

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!

Nothing.
