Woodcliffe Country House

Self Catering | P.O. Box 65 Maclear 5480 South Africa Maclear 5480

Overview

Woodcliffe is a 1000 ha cattle farm extending into the upper slopes of the southern Drakensberg in the north Eastern Cape and is situated 22km from Maclear.

Nearby is the remarkable Naude’s Nek pass, at 2 620m, the highest mountain pass in South Africa. On the slopes of the Southern Drakensberg near Maclear, where the valleys and waterways cut and gouge their way to the sea, can be found what many describe as the ultimate ‘eco’ experience.

At Woodcliffe the peaks of the high berg soar to touch the sky. Cascading waterfalls laugh and chatter through the stunning riverine landscapes, where indigenous forests cling. Here the call of birds without number chase the sound of city life. Woodcliffe is a delight for the ecotourist, hiker, artist, photographer, birder and fisherman.

Woodcliffe is a treasure for those who enjoy the enduring majesty of high mountains and lush valleys.

Important Information

*Cardholder & ID/Passport must be present at check-in.
*Credit card used for the online payment must be present at check-in.

Please allow 24-48 hrs response time for bookings. We are a remote location and our satellite link for e-mails can go down from time to time. We regret that we don't allow pets at Woodcliffe.
Guests are advised to arrive between 14:00 -16:30 to avoid any confusion that may arise from travelling on gravel roads at night. We recommend that our guests arrive in a good clearance vehicle. Summer rainfall can raise water levels and make access tricky for low-slung cars! Expected time of departure is 10 am.
Bring your hiking boots, swimming costumes, mountain bicycles, trout fishing rods, insect repellent and a weatherproof jacket.
Guests are advised to stock up on groceries (for self-catering guests) and drinks before leaving Maclear, as Woodcliffe is approximately 30 minutes from town. If guests are planning to travel onto Rhodes, we suggest that you fill up your vehicles in Maclear. There is no certainty that you can fill up in Rhodes as there is often no fuel there.
Should you require the services of a nature guide to visit world famous rock art or our Drakensberg ground orchids (Nov - Feb), please make arrangements with us well in advance. A half a day is considered 4hrs and anything over that is considered a full day. If you book a guide you will be held to that commitment.
Woodcliffe will not undertake any catered stays between 1 Dec - 20 Jan and over Easter weekend unless prior arrangement is made. Meals can be requested in advance.
The farmhouse veranda is the reception area for the B&B. All arrivals and departures are from the farmhouse. Owner resides in a wing in the farmhouse. All meals are served on the glassed veranda of the farmhouse. Woodcliffe is not licensed to sell alcohol. Guests are advised to bring their own drinks.
Our cell phone signal is very patchy at Woodcliffe. Wi-Fi is available FREE at the farmhouse. WhatsApp is the best method of communication once you are here.
The weather is always changeable at Woodcliffe. Our summers are typically warm with rain most afternoons; our winters have cool clear days and a frost most nights. Our spring and autumn months we have very mild days. August is our windiest month and the chances of veld fires the greatest. Whatever your weather, your welcome will be warm at Woodcliffe . The weather is always changeable so a change of warm clothing is always advisable.

Woodcliffe is known for its hospitality. We thank you for sharing our piece of Drakensberg with us!
