    The shearers lodge room we stayed in seemed ready for some TLC to be honest . Light not working in the coffee area . I am all for Shabby Chic but seemed just a bit too shabby . Loved the main house and dining area . Food was good and game drives were great .

    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Absolutely fabulous experience in every way. The lodge room (number 2) exceeded all expectations from the arrival with flowers on the bed! Wonderful, gracious and helpful staff. Super game drives with Mel a insightful guide. Great game spotting. Ample and delicious catering. Extremely sad to leave.
