Leopard Lodge

Hartbeespoort Dam North West - South Africa

Email Leopard Lodge Reservations: booksa@madbookings.com

High up on the solid rock face of the Magaliesberg Mountains, a gorge rips straight into the rock.
The gorge is softened only by a blanket of shrubs and trees which have grown over millennia, watered by the purest, cleanest water imaginable.
The owners of this unique property, have created a wonder in its midst – yes Leopard Lodge.
It is only when one drives in the gate of Leopard Lodge that you realise what has been left behind.
The mystique of the place is tangible. Following a designated trail higher and higher, under a thick canopy of trees, a strong feeling of peace will overwhelm you. Leopard Lodge is a haven for not only our bashful brides but for one and all.
