I only stayed here for one night but the staff was amazing, everyone is doing their best to help make it a good stay, and they succeeded!
I don’t have anything negative to say about this place. All though, it was quite hard to eat at the Woodpecker Inn on a Sunday (lunch/dinner), but the staff helped me with ordering food so that wasn’t a problem.

The eggs and breakfast were dry from being out too long. In addition to the restaurant/pub where dinner was serve is not conducive for non somokers.

The only positive is the location was not bad and the breakfasts were good.
1) When staying several nights, not being able to charge bar items to the room. Being told that it shouldn't be an issue to charge a coldrink and water to the room, but had to pay for a beer, not a problem my colleague paid cash for his beer. When then saw the same staff member several times during the course of the evening at which point payment for the coldrink and water was never requested. At 22h00 I was rudely woken not as a guest or client but more so as a criminal by said employee who was accompanied by security banging on my door demanding I settle my bar bill which was less than R 50.00. This particular staff member assumed I had cash and did not even bother to bring a card machine, which she had to then go and fetch only to be unable to process said payment as the Wi-Fi signal is all but none existent (makes remote working frustrating and almost impossible). I offered to settle my bill first thing in the morning at which point said employee said they would pay the bill, again adding insult to injury by suggesting that I was trying or not willing to pay my bill, despite still having a further nights stay paid and booked for it was assumed that I was going to do a runner for less than R 50.00. The following morning as promised my first stop was reception to settle the bill. whilst management when I informed them of the incident shook their heads, said sorry but one could see they we're less than sympathetic and really did not care much and we're certainly not going to take the matter further, indicating that they condone this kind of behavior from their staff and are ok with the badgering and unacceptable behavior towards the very people that keep them in business. The bill could not be settled by card for the previous night and I was asked if I was going to have anything that day, which they could add to and pay all at once. Again insult to injury and I thought they were joking as if I was going to spend another cent more.
