The staff are very friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were the best we had on this trip to KZN. The outside area is very pretty and we enjoyed having our breakfasts outside."

Leopard Corner Lodge

Leopard Corner Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Fantastic property, really just a beautiful, wonderful place. We only stayed for the night but would love to come back and enjoy the Leopard Corner for a week or so, there’s so much to see and do and the place is so comfortable, clean and at the same time homey. The host was fantastic, so gracious and we had to leave early to catch a flight so he packed us a to go lunch. Highly, highly recommend, 10 stars! *****"
