Woodlands Country Cottages itself was started by Beverly and Dave Selwyn Smith in the mid 1980’s when they bought the property from the Shuttleworths. They started with one small cabin and opened their home to guests. Bev and Dave were stalwarts in developing the tourist connection for the area, with relentless efforts of international communication through Bev’s famous tea garden.
In 2015, 2 years after the sad passing of Bev, Allen and Gail Cunningham bought Woodlands.
Since then they have invested much time and funding in setting up and streamlining the operation for increased occupancies. Allen and Gail are passionate about preserving the authentic bush stay experience, keeping the rates affordable for guests, and conserving the environment.
Under their management many positive developments have taken place. The land was officially rezoned for trading, evasive creepers and bush were removed responsibly, a sewerage system with a bio plant was set up , the cottages were renovated and restored without loosing the rustic and peaceful bush setting, and an Aquaponics system was established for chemical-free vegetable and herb farming.
