strath.friendsOct 13, 2024 Leopard Walk Lodge: A Perfect African Retreat
After a demanding business trip from the USA, Leopard Walk Lodge was the ideal place to unwind before my 30-hour flight home. With a small number of luxury lodges, each designed for complete privacy, it offers a serene escape in the heart of the African bush. The accommodations are beautifully furnished with all the amenities you could need, including excellent WiFi. However, it’s the stillness of the wilderness that truly soothes the soul, inviting relaxation and rejuvenation.
The staff’s hospitality was exceptional. From the flawless check-in and check-out process to their warm Zulu smiles, they made me feel like family. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their attention to detail ensured every need was met effortlessly.
The food was outstanding, with both breakfast and dinner showcasing home-cooked quality and local flavors. Service during meals was attentive yet unobtrusive, adding to the overall sense of comfort.
Whether relaxing on my private deck or exploring the nearby paths, I was immersed in the peaceful beauty of the bush. Watching the sky shift at sunrise and sunset was magical, reinforcing the lodge’s calming atmosphere.
Leopard Walk Lodge offers the perfect combination of luxury, privacy, and connection with nature. For anyone seeking a true escape, it’s a place to reset, recharge, and leave feeling refreshed and ready for what’s next.
EXCELLENT COUPLE STAY DESTINATION
The safety of guests and their property was amazingly ensured, and the staff was helpful and friendly and respected the privacy of guests. the management is fully involved in daily operations.
Basic accommodation, rustic, beautiful views but not 5 star
Amazing, secluded, quiet place....long drive off the beaten track. An excellent romantic spot to relax and enjoy the outdoor life.
It is difficult to find Leopard Walk Lodge. The signs on the road are insufficient.
Peaceful and located in a conservation reserve where they are helping preserve and introduce species natural to the area. The room is set in the bush, comfy and spacious. Great place to get away from it all and all secure, it was about 17km out of Hluwehluwe on the road towards Sodwana bay. We ate in once which had a nice selection but for variety ate out the other nights, and breakfast was good. Saw quite a few animals and birds. An enjoyable stay for a relax.
Our stay at Leopard Walk Lodge was amazing! The rooms were stunning and you can really get a feel for the sense of nature around you- nothing better than falling asleep to the sounds of the crickets and frogs. The food was simply delish and we loved the outdoor restaurant area. The staff were really friendly and always willing to help with any questions you may have! We could not fault a single thing and we will definitely be back! Thank you for a great stay.
What a lovely place. So peaceful and quiet. The staff couldn't do enough for you. The animals are an added bonus. Only drawback are mosquitoes but then again that is not their fault. Nets provided in the bedroom ******
A really lovely place to stay in a great location. The service was absolutely exceptional! Breakfast was delicious.
What a beautiful place! You can tell the owners are so passionate about the reserve and lodge. We only wish we could have stayed longer! We arrived late due to bad weather and the staff was friendly and flexible, and quickly checked us in to a stunning room. Large, clean bathrooms and tons of windows/natural light. Stay for a few nights- highly recommend!
We stayed in lodge no 8 - private, buck and monkeys on your doorstep and a beautiful bush view.
The food was homely and the staff gave excellent service.
the walks and nearby tourist facilities are worth the trip.
I will definitely go back, but only to stay in a lodge. Worth paying the little extra.
My wife and I would recommend this experience without hesitation. What has been achieved here is truly amazing. Well done Rob and Janet.
Great private retreat idea for those get away from everything weekends etc
A stay with a difference.....
If you like being at one with nature, seclusion and being away from it all, this is the place for you. Just 6 cabins scattered in a forest, within a private reserve, each with total privacy. We were upgraded to a lodge with glass windows all around. No need to draw curtains as so private. We viewed a group of monkeys and crested grouse from our bed ! We also had an outside jacuzzi which was a great experience. The lodge itself is quite basic although comfortable bed and nice decked area.
We ate in the restaurant each night as not much other option. Plentiful African cooking, 3 course, for a very reasonable price. Imagine our surprise when 2 zebras came up to see us one evening. We also saw deer...
The accommodation is well situated for Hluhwuhle Safari Park, plus False Bay.
great location. Staff were friendly and helpful, owner was vey helpful friendly and knowledgeable of the local area
food choice could be more varied, but as there were few guests eating in .. it was understandable
food and drink also good value for money
Excellent experience for "getting away from it all" and being part of the game reserve. The accommodation had panoramic windows which gives the impression of actually being in the woods. The outside jacuzzi added to this and was very refreshing after a visit to the game reserves.
verified t.partnerOct 08, 2019 An für sich schöne Unterkunft,etwas abseits gelegen, was uns bereits vorher bewusst war. Die Unterkunft war sehr schmutzig und nicht sehr gepflegt. Wir waren sehr enttäuscht. Essen hingegen war gut. Aber für uns hat das Preis/ Leistungsverhältnis im Vergleich zu anderen Unterkünften nicht gestimmt.
verified t.familyApr 15, 2019 Team took good care of us. All good attention
Very nice food too
Un luogo meraviglioso e remoto all'interno di una tenuta enorme dove impala zebre gnu circolano liberamente!! Colazione ottima e abbondate personale molto cortese..Avevo la stanza "buffalo" che a me andava bene ma per i più esigenti può risultare spartana quindi prendete quella superiore!!Se desiderate staccare la spina ed immergervi nella natura questo è posto migliore!! Fatevi dare il codice apertura cancello prima di arrivare..
