Woodpecker Inn

Appalled at the pathetic state of establishment. Our honeymoon night was ruined by. Waste of money. Cockroach infested. Book at any other property other than Woodpecker Inn or Aristo Manor. Appalling 4 star property. Don't be fooled by the smiling owners. Reported to FEDHASA.

There is no network in the sleeping rooms, and we were not given Wi-Fi. Additionally, the sleeping rooms smell musty.

I reserved at Woodpecker Inn from recommendation from Wildlife Act (one of the inn mentionned) I spent only one night at Woodpecker Inn as my trip continuation was the next day only. I can only thank the Owner for the help he offered. I arrived at Richards Bay airport for the first time in my life and expected Taxi to be available, which was not the case. I called the Inn and in 10min sharp the owner was there to pick me up, he also was nice to drive me to shopping mall where I needed to buy some items for my trip continuation and patiently waited on me for 20min, nice touch and I like here to thank him again for this. At the Inn everyone was nice, the room was clean and comfortable and I enjoyed a great steak with a nice bottle of red in my room before bed time. Next day the owner drove me back to airport where my pickup for next part of my trip was. If I ever be back in Richards bay I will definitely consider Woodpecker Inn again.

I would never use woodpecker inn again. The owner treated my guests like children shouting at them he made everyone uncomfortable. I asked for only 4 chairs and an entire day later on arrival my guests had to help staff carry in wooden chairs not matching the setup at all. The floors were so dirty after i asked a day in advance for it to be cleaned. My guests had to use bricks to braai on. Honestly the worst was the owners disgusting behaviour. I don’t recommend woodpecker to anyone.
