Fabulous, tranquil, laid back farm experience.

Coming from the city, the farm offered a completely different perspective to holiday making.

Was 'n heerlike plaas-ervaring!

Was 'n heerlike plaas-wegbreek en ons seuntjies het al die plaasdiere, asook die mak eland, Lallie, vreeslik baie geniet! Ons kon self eiers gaan haal en baba emu's en volstruise sien. Boer Bernard het ons op die plaas gaan rondwys en ons het ook baie rare skoenlappers gesien.

What a lovely farm experience!

Was a great farm getaway and our sons enjoyed the farm animals, and the tame eland so much! We could fetch eggs ourselves and could see baby emu's and ostriches. Farmer Bernard showed us around on the farm and we also saw rare butterflies.

Maak baie mooi seker wat die uitkloktyd is anders word julle "uitgegooi".

Ons het 'n naweek by Leopards Lair deurgebring. Dis 'n baie skoon en netjiese plek met meer as genoeg spasie om gemaklik te leef. Die enigste probleem wat ek met die plek het, is dat hulle nie 'n mens se privaatheid in ag neem nie. Ek het die Sondagoggend vroeg 'n fietswedren gehad en ek het die eienaar gesê ek gaan eers 12 uur die middag terug wees. Sy het gesê dis reg, maar ek moet net vinnig maak ná die wedren want die nuwe gaste kom later die middag. Toe ek 12 uur terug was by Leopards Lair om ons goed te pak was al ons goed al klaar gepak en ontruim uit die huis. Ons klere was sommer alles in 'n swart sak gegooi en ons vleis in 'n boks gesit. Ek kon nie eers net vinnig in die stort spring nie, toe is ek vuil want ek het sopas 'n fietswedren gery en moet só terugry Pretoria toe. Ek verstaan wat my fout was, ek moes seker gemaak het wat die uitkloktyd Sondag was, maar steeds voel ek die nood om hieroor te skryf. Dit was vir my 'n baie vernederende situasie.

Just familiarise yourself with check out time to avoid being thrown out.

Spent a weekend in Leopard's Lair. Clean and neat place with ample space to live comfortably. Only problem I had is that they don't consider one's privacy. Had a bicycle race early next morning and told owner I'd only be back by 12 noon. She said it's fine, that I just need to hurry up after the race as the next guests were to arrive later in the afternoon. When I returned to Leopard's Lair at 12 to pack my things, everything was already packed and vacated. Our clothes merely put in a black bag and meat put in a box. I couldn't even take a quick shower. I was dirty after the bicycle race and had to drive like that back to Pretoria. I understand that my mistake was to not familiarise myself with checkout time on Sunday, but I still feel like I need to write about this. I experienced the situation as very humiliating.

Leopard's Lair 's response

Hi Eric,

Thank you for taking the time to review us on LekkeSlaap.

As I explained to you at the time, no prior arrangements had been made regarding a late check-out. Our check-out time is clearly marked on all the websites that we advertise on, and as we only have the single unit, unfortunately we need to adhere to these times, unless prior arrangement has been made. I made it quite clear to you that we had guests arriving that afternoon and we could not accommodate your request. Due to the fact that your possessions were distributed in the unit, we had no alternative but to package them up as best as we could. I am sorry that this did not meet your expectations. Regards, Michelle

Kan oor niks kla nie, die plekkie is fantasties.

Plekkie is fantasties, maar is n bietjie ver van die N3 en die pad is nie van die beste vir voertuig wat laag is nie.

Ideale plekkie om te "unwind" van die gejaagde lewe.

Ons was hartlik verwelkom. Michelle het uit haar pad gegaan om ons tuis te laat voel. Die plekkie is perfek as jy wil wegkom van gejaagde lewe af. Bernard het ons spesiaal na 'n ander plaas geneem om ons te wys hoe hulle die koeie melk en vir ons 'n lekker wors gegee om te braai. Hulle het jou nie net eenkant gelos nie, maar met jou gesels of hulle jou al jare ken. Plekkie is goed ingerig en netjies en die privaat lapa met jou eie braai is 'n bonus. Ons het die ruskans op die plaas geniet en was heerlik om na die diere te kyk. Ons het self ook die varke gevoer. Vir ons stadsjapies was dit 'n wow gewees. Ons sal definitief weer daar gaan kuier. Net een voorstel is om miskien 'n hangkas vir jou klere te verskaf sodat jy nie uit jou tas uit hoef te werk nie. Anders was als perfek en goed ingerig.

Ideal place to unwind from the rush of everyday life.

Warm welcome. Michelle went out of her way to ensure we felt at home. The place is perfect if you want to get away from the rush of everyday life. Bernard specially took us to another farm to show us how they milk cows and he also gave us nice sausage to braai. They didn't just leave you on one side, but chatted as if they'd known us for years. Place is well equipped and neat and the private lapa with its own braai is a bonus. We enjoyed our time of rest on the farm and it was lovely to look at all the animals. We also fed the pigs ourselves. For us city slickers it was just wow. We will definitely go again. Just one suggestion is maybe providing a hanging closet for clothes so that you don't have to live from your luggage. Otherwise everything was perfect and well equipped.

Gerieflik en aangenaam.

Leopard's Liar is 'n besonderse plek om te oornag - die kothuis is gerieflik en goed toegerus. Die mense van Spitzkop is hartlik en vriendelik en het my Duitse kleinkinders onmiddellik aan die wonderlike plaaslewe bekend gestel. Mens voel tuis en gemaklik en die houertjie met vars plaasmelk in die yskas dra by tot 'n heerlike plaaservaring.

Comfortable and pleasant.

Leopard's Liar is a special place to spend the night - the cottage is comfortable and well equipped. The people of Spitzkop are warm and friendly and immediately introduced my German grandchildren to the wonderful farm life. One feels at home and comfortable and the container with fresh farm milk in the fridge contributes to a delicious farm experience.
