We always stop over here on our way to Victoria Falls. OK, it is off the main drag but it is worth the dirt road for the fine location - a rural retreat. Well run, well furnished and for a travelling couple, just right! ##### ALAN Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 17 Jan 2019 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ALAN 13 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A1 stopover Apart from the dirt road access this is a fine stopover on the way to Victoria Falls. But watch out for the police speed traps - they are a menace and appear to target foreign travellers throughout the Country !! We have stayed here many times and it is ideal when passing through. Well run and managed by Rhodesians !! ##### ALAN Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### StefanoeDaniela, Milano 1 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lodge molto tranquillo e riposante dopo un lungo viaggio.

The location is out of town, and ten minutes down a bumpy dirt road. The chalet was very pleasant, comfortable beds, mosquito netting, tea and coffee making facilities. The shower and toilet block was only a short walk (take a torch), and had hot running water with good pressure, although there was a request to restrict water useage due to local drought. The staff were friendly and helpful, dealing with our last minute reservation efficiently. The pool looked good, although we didn't try it out as we were too tired after a full day's drive. If I needed to stay in this area again, I'd definitely opt for here. ##### F A ### 8/10 Good #### Marlene 24 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stopover between Botswana and South Africa we rented a riverside cottage...nice setting,good front porch,kitchenette had everything you needed...the pool was clean with nice seating...would stay here again...good value for the $$$$$.... ##### Marlene ### 8/10 Good #### Michael 3 Sept 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Convenient overnight stop We have previously stayed at Woodlands and enjoyed our recent visit just as much. The lodge and campsites were fully booked during our stay which is testimony to their location and offering. The lodges are comfortably appointed with all necessary self-catering utensils, a fridge and microwave. Braai facilities are available and meat and ready-made meals can be purchased from the shop. There is a good-sized pool and a pleasant nature walk on the property. Highly recommended. ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Aug 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 10 Jan 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Klassische Lodge Alles Ok, super Service, sehr freundliches Personal. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 26 Oct 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels near Wembley Park Underground Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wembley-Park-Underground-Station-Hotels.d6146072.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auschwitz-Birkenau-State-Museum-Hotels.0-l553248621532515672-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Leonardo Hotel London Watford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Watford-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-London-Watford.h2400913.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Ereza Mar- Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Antigua-Hotels-Hotel-Ereza-Mar.h35628245.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Grand-Baie](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grand-Baie-Hotels.d500119.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [4 Star Hotels in Manhattan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/4Star-Manhattan-New-York-Hotels.s40-n129440-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Dubai-At-Jumeirah-Beach.h8697404.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gaborone-Hotels-Travelodge.h12064519.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunrise Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shanklin-Hotels-Gracellie-Hotel.h8080384.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Wellingborough](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wellingborough-Hotels.d5465.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Ditlhapi Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shakawe-Hotels-Ditlhapi-Guest-House.h16021933.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Dresden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dresden-Hotels.d6034796.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Balcony in Llandudno](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-Hotels-With-Balcony.0-0-d5621-tHotelswithBalcony.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Aberdovey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Aberdovey-Hotels.s50-0-d4970.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Pool in Valencia Province](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Valencia-Province-Hotels-With-Pool.0-0-d6023332-tHotelswithPool.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) ### Flights > [Flights from Bristol (BRS) to Kathmandu (KTM)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/brs/ktm/bristol-to-kathmandu) > > [Flights from San José del Cabo (SJD) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/sjd/lhr/san-jose-del-cabo-to-london) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Alexandria (HBE)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/hbe/manchester-to-alexandria) > > [flights from angers loire airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/ane/flights-from-angers-loire-airport) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Castrillon (OVD)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/ovd/london-to-oviedo) > > [Flights from Birmingham (BHX) to Melbourne (MEL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhx/mel/birmingham-to-melbourne) ### Cars > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Worksop](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Worksop.d177869-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Packages > [English Market](https://www.expedia.co.uk/English-Market-Cork-City-Centre.d6125594.Attraction) > > [Lake Kawaguchi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Kawaguchi-Fujikawaguchiko.d6347666.Attraction) > > [El Alamein Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Alamein.d6035126.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Santander Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santander.d3116.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Dover](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dover.dx4625) > > [Visit Sardina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sardina.dx6356192) > > [Visit Norwich City Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Norwich-City-Center.dx3000662811)
