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.

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.

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

Can't complain about anything, the place is fantastic.
The place is fantastic, but a bit far from the N3 and the road is not the best for a low-profile vehicle.

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

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.
