Review Leopard Lodge - Hartbeespoort

Visited Leopard Lodge just for the hike and had a great time. The hike was challenging and there was a map to help us navigate the route. The markings on the ground were helpful as some of the paper markings were turned upside down. We saw warthogs and a kudu. Definitely start this one early as it gets quite hot on the trail. Total distance was 4.3kms.

The worst manager of a venue i hsve ever come upon Leon.My children got married and what a horrible experience we had. The chapel's lights didn't work,the microphone didn't work the pastor had to speak at the top of her lungs so that the guests could hear.In the bridal (honeymoon suite) the air-conditioning didn't work and at temp of 38°c it was horrible for bride and bridesmaids to get ready. The food was great but the service of the manager Leon was horrifying, he was rude and got no manners at all,no relationship in how to work with clients and treat clients. The bar was extremely expensive paying for 2 savanas and 2 coffees R210, paying for a bottle of water R35 not even speaking about brandy,whiskey and beer prices that is ridiculous. Some of the guest paid extra for mattresses for their kids and on requiring about it he Leon was rude to the guests. While at the reception they broke into the honeymoon suite and stole things when the groom phone the manager Leon didn't do anything about it and swear him and hung up on him. They charge for things that the coiple didn't even ask for. When you go to book venue it is all promoses and stories to give you the best and most wonderful wedding (dream wedding) but it is all lies . My opion do not even consider using that venue you will be sorry later it was a nightmare. Leon you as manager must go and get a course on how to treat guests and how to manage a venue.

Absolutely the best service ever. We will book Leopard Lodge again in future. Thank you very much.

My son got married there recently and I must admit it was an incredible experience. The views are spectacular making for an amazing ambience, staff super friendly and the food was really top notch. Normally wedding food tends to be, lets say rather ordinary, but not this place. Highly recommended. If I have one criticism, I would be the accommodation, nothing wrong with it, but could do with a facelift.

Thank you all staff at Leopard Lodge Hartebeespoort dam for the special way you guys made our long weekend totally unforgettable . Your service, energy, courtesy and help will not be forgotten. What a beautifull venue. Love you guy's Dewald and Sylvia.

A little piece of paradise that's just a short drive away from Johannesburg. Amazing views, great service, and hospitable staff. When I made my booking, I informed Leon the manager that I intended to propose to my girlfriend and boy did he go out of his way to help me with the planning and making it a surprise. Leon went so far as to even make an itinerary for me and went through every step of the plan in detail. The whole set up was amazing! I couldn't have made it happen without the help of Leon and the entire team. Well done guys! You truly treated my fiancé and I like royalty. We will definitely visit again!

Dont know what's with the 4.1 star rating. Was a bit skeptical while booking, but take my word! Every dime u spend is worth it 👍👍👍👍.

Our Wedding 20 years ago was such a memorable experience for everyone, we’re still talking about the Venison Potjie et al on the Fire, lovely venue and rooms and chalets that led to another wedding of 18 years now ❣️Many breakfasts later we still love Leopard Lodge

First time having breakfast at Leopard lodge, staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was lekker and the views WOWIE, stunning. Very clean and neat. Will visit again soon.

I will most definitely recommend Leopard Lodge! We were there for our Honeymoon Weekend. And we were treated like royalty. Accommodation is fantastic and the service is above and beyond. Especially Colin 😊 BUT the best part will definitely be that the Kitchen and Food and Beverage Team created a Vegan menu for us. They catered for our dietary needs and went all out. Of I could rate then 10 out 5 i would. Thanks to everyone! 😁😎😊

Always love this lodge, since we moved here to have a beer watch over the dam and just listening to the nature is amazing, this is one place close to my heart, I've never received any bad service here, the most friendliness and professional service they always greet you with a smile.

April 2021 My first visit to Leopard Lodge was in 2002 with a company, TDE. Since then, Hein Pretorius and I visited the lodge a few times with family and friends for Xmas lunches. Never for breakfast though. Saturday, 24 April – sipped coffee in bed and watched the small brown canaries in our garden – ‘shall we go somewhere for breakfast..’ Hein searched for bush breakfasts and Leopard Lodge popped up. Haven’t been there for at least 4 years. Yes, they do a la carte breakfast between 8 and 10. I dressed warmly in a thick red jacket – it was 13 oC outside. Small clouds were all over the sky – the Hartbeespoort dam is cleared of Hyacinths … good job! Drove up towards the lodge and hordes of vultures were seen circling over the mountain. The lodge has accommodation for 32 people – some rooms for couples, other self-catering houses for a group – all separate from the main lodge. There’s a chapel for weddings and walking trails. Next to the lodge is a boma area, set out with small tables and chairs for breakfast. What an interesting menu! My eyes immediately locked onto the Banters Breakfast … and it didn’t disappoint (although I couldn’t taste the basil pesto). I loved the zucchini noodles and the Halloumi!!! Hein chose the Leopard Sunrise and enjoyed every bite. After breakfast we enjoyed our coffee on comfy chairs that overlook the valley and Hartbeespoort dam. Worth a visit!!!!

Absolutely beautiful 🤩 place with the most amazing view. Our waiter was on top of his game and made our lunch an unforgettable experience. With hiking trails and luxurious cabins this is a must visit. Well done to staff and management. 🙌🙌👌
