"We found the bedroom a little cramped and a door on the bathroom would be good. The shower had a section of the sliding door missing so the floor got all messy. Our hostess was charming and the breakfast was delicious."
"Fantastic!"

"An easy relaxed night at the Woodpecker B@B after a long ride. The dinner that evening was tasty and filling. The room was warm and comfortable with all our needs well taken care of. Eureka is a charming host. Ficksburg is a quaint drop in the eastern Free State. Thanks all for a pleasant stay. The Katse dam road-trip will see us there again."

"We had a lovely stay at Wooodpecker and Eureka was the perfect hostess. The room was beautifully decorated with attention paid to every little detail. It was a nice base from which to explore the Cherry Festival as well the surrounding area. The farm stalls and restaurants recommended by Eureka were excellent."
"Real value for money"

20 August 2011

"I have stayed in many guest houses over the past year but Woodpecker must rate as one of the best value-for-money establishments I have stayed in. Friendly, efficient, clean, comfortable and a real home away from home. Great to wake up with the sound of the birds in the large tree."
