The deluxe tents were private and spotless. I love how beautiful the views were, and how peaceful the area was. The bed was comfortable and we loved the wood-fired hot tub!

Although not anyone's 'fault', the shower took some getting used to as the hot water needed to fill up regularly, leading to cold bursts of water. There was also no scissors on the premises (only 'herb' scissors which didn't work for normal cutting).

Beautiful views! Felt so close to nature

Stunning, peaceful location beautifully presented with exceptional outside facilities (including private bath, shower, plunge pool, hammock and braai)

The veiw was incredible. We slept amazing. And we recharged well.

We had a lovely stay at Leopard Valley Eco Retreat. The view is breathtaking, the setting peaceful, and we slept really well. That said, there are some serious issues that future guests should be aware of. The outdoor shower has no door or privacy screen, so hikers on the nearby trail can see straight in — very uncomfortable. The retreat advertises a jacuzzi but doesn’t make it clear that you have to buy firewood separately to use it. Firewood is R50 a bag on site or a 36-minute drive away, which feels like advertising lights but then charging extra for electricity. Lastly, the kitchen bin had melted holes and some utensils (like the egg spatula) had clear signs of rat damage. For the price of the stay, these are basic things that should be fixed and maintained. The location is beautiful, but these issues took away from what could have been an excellent experience.
