Budget Getaways Review

Straddling a plateau above Wilderness and the Kaaimans River gorge, Woodifield farm is easily accessible via the very pretty old Seven Passes Road just a few miles outside George.

This working cattle farm offers a mix of indigenous forest and pine plantation crisscrossed with 20km of private hiking and mountain biking trails, plus two farm dams for a spot of fishing. In other words, just the place for skitterish activity junkies and chill seekers alike.  

Further afield, you’re within easy reach of the serpentined lakes and beach at Wilderness, the Saturday Market at Sedgefield and, if all else fails... George Mall.

Examining the accommodation at Woodifield, what we have here is a rustic and relaxed farm cottage sleeping a total of six.

While the cottage lies within sight of a few other farm buildings (plus-minus 40m away), it offers a private garden with large lawned area and views over the pine plantation and distant Outeniqua peaks punching the skyline.

Bed-wise, you’ve got a main ensuite bedroom with Queen bed and two twin bedrooms with a shared bathroom.

The kitchen is fully equipped and typical of farm houses from this era.

The living area has a fireplace, while outside you’ve got a patio and braai lapa, which can be stocked with firewood on request.

The initial guest feedback for Woodifield paints a decent picture: “The setting is amazing, the views are picturesque. The owners are so welcoming and friendly. It was an absolute pleasure to stay there.”

So, whether it’s a bunch of you on a jaunt through the Garden Route or a family needing to unleash the kids, then Woodifield Farm could well be for you - simple, easy-going and well-appointed.

Guest Reviews

"The setting is amazing, the views of the fields is picturesque. The owners are so welcoming and friendly. It was an absolute pleasure to stay there."

"Woodifields cottage is an old rustic farmhouse. It is clean and comfortable. If you are want to get away from it all, it is a lovely place to stay, you can walk for in indigenous forest and see part of the old wagon road from Cape Town to Algoa Bay. You will still be ten minutes from George and nine kilometres from the ocean."
