A huge lack of maintenance.

It was okay but not great. Three out of four lights in the bathroom do not work. The bathroom window struggles to open (looks like termites). There is a stain on the pillow. There are holes in the mosquito net. The curtains are damaged. The outdoor shower leaks from the wall. The blanket has holes in it.

Luukse akkommodasie en alles wat gaste nodig het vir 'n lekker kuier in die Bosveld.

Het die wildrit geniet. Lekker naby 'n verskeidenheid eetplekke. Boma en swembad ideaal vir net rus en ontspan. Buitestort 'n lekke ondervinding.

Hoedspruit is beautiful, the lodge is beautiful but can be cleaner, especially the rooms.

The security isn't very tight because other cars were tail gating to get in the premises, and since there is no security by the lodge, you never know who might just have access and also sharing of facilities, other guest were hogging appliances, you have to wait 4 hours to get your turn to braai meat or make food.

Puik.

Dit was ongelooflik lekker om ons wittebrood daar te hou. Baie rustig en eenkant, baie mooi kamers en geriewe en almal is so vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons het ook elke oggend n heerlike ontbyt geniet wat vooraf gereël was, asook 'n wildsrit. Ons het selfs een oggend 'n luiperd voor die lodge gesien. Uitstekende waarde vir geld.

It was incredibly nice to spend our honeymoon there. Very quiet and secluded, very nice rooms and facilities and everyone is so friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed a delicious breakfast every morning that had been arranged in advance, as well as a game drive. We even saw a leopard in front of the lodge one morning. Excellent value for money.

Heerlike wegbreek!

Ons kuier by Leopard's Lair was só lekker! Kamers is groot, mooi en netjies, met groot en netjiese badkamers en buitestorte. Spasie rondom die lodge is baie, met 'n mooi swembad reg langs die kampvuur. Kombuis was goed ingerig en ons het onsself sommer tuisgemaak. Ons gaan definitief weer!

Uitstekende diens, gerieflike ligging en sommer net lekker!

Die kamers was skoon en gereed met ons aankoms. Diens was uitstekend, die opsionele ontbyt was smaaklik voorberei en baie goeie waarde vir geld. Clare was laataand beskikbaar om ons te help toe ons probleme ondervind het met die toegangskode van die hek na die Estate.

Die ontvangs was aangenaam. Die kombuis het als gehad wat ons nodig het en die aand by die braai buite was heerlik.

Terwyl ons die aand buite geëet het, was daar 'n kolmuskeljaatkat wat tussen die bome beweeg het en dit het gesorg vir vermaak vir omtrent 25 min. Dit was wonderlik! Die buitestort was 'n belewenis.

The reception was pleasant. The kitchen had everything we needed and the evening at the barbecue outside was delicious.

While we were eating outside that evening, there was a tabby cat that moved between the trees and it provided entertainment for about 25 min. It was great! The outdoor shower was an experience.

It was truly like staying in a piece of heaven, from the awesome accommodation to being submersed in nature. The owners went out of their way to ensure my stay was a truly memorable occasion.

The rooms were spacious and clean and offer everything you could wish for in a lodge and more (A spa bath, outdoor shower, veranda overlooking the bush to view game, lounge area). The staff were super friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make you feel at home. Cannot wait till I am back in the area to visit there again.

Beslis 'n baie aangename ondervinding!

Simeone en Anton is baie gasvry en het vir ons op kort kennisgewing 'n wildrit gereël, wat ek definitief sal aanbeveel. Met ons terugkeer die aand was daar 'n lekker vuur gemaak en die plek het letterlik alles tot in die fynste besonderhede. Lekker filterkoffie en die braaipacks het ons lewe gered en 'n trippie dorp toe gespaar. Ons sal definitief hulle weer besoek, die keer vir ontspanning!

Simeone and Anton are very hospitable and arranged a game drive for us at short notice, which I would definitely recommend. On our return in the evening there was a nice fire and the place literally has everything down to the smallest detail. Nice filter coffee and the braaipacks saved our lives and saved us a trip to town. We will definitely visit them again, this time for relaxation!

Pragtige, rustige en baie skoon en netjiese verblyf.

Dit is 'n pragtige plek. Baie mooi binne en buite. So ontspannend. Die kamers binne is netjies en skoon. Ons het natuurlik die buite-shower vreeslik geniet. Die ontvangs was vriendelik en baie gaaf.
