Situated in St Lucia in the KwaZulu-Natal region, Leopard Corner Lodge features accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

The lodge offers a sun terrace.

Estuary Beach is 2.3 km from Leopard Corner Lodge, while St Lucia Crocodile Centre is 2.9 km from the property. The breakfast was so delicious, and I particularly appreciated the accommodation of our dietary requirements. Loved the fast and efficient service. Location of the place was perfect and easy to find. I was touched by our hosts Tessa and Gail who left their Christmas party early to welcome us.

The Farmers Lodge features garden views, free WiFi and free private parking, set in Thorndale, 4 km from Oribi Gorge Nature Reserve.

At the lodge you will find a restaurant serving African, American and Pizza cuisine. Vegetarian and halal options can also be requested. What made our stay so special: ⭐ The Friendly Staff – A huge thank you to Angel, Armstrong, and the lovely ladies from the restaurant for their warm hospitality. Their kindness and attentiveness made us feel right at home. 🐾 The Dogs! – We absolutely fell in love with Layla—what a beautiful soul! We already miss her so much. Peanut, Raisin, and the little Jack Russell (whose name escapes me) were also such wonderful companions. It was a joy having them around. 🏡 The Chalet – Simply amazing! It was beyond what we had imagined—spacious, comfortable, and beautifully designed. 🌿 The Lodge & Surroundings – The entire place is breathtaking. The natural beauty of Oribi Gorge combined with the peaceful atmosphere of the lodge made for the perfect getaway. Thank you for such an unforgettable experience! We will definitely be back.

With eMakhosini Ophathe Heritage Park reachable in 49 km, Zulu Rock Lodge - Babanango Game Reserve features accommodation, a restaurant, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a shared lounge. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge. I spent four unforgettable nights at Babanango Reserve, and the experience was absolutely outstanding. The reserve itself is stunning, a true sanctuary of preservation and care, with a project that meaningfully involves and benefits the local community. We were lucky enough to see the Big 5 in breathtaking surroundings. The service was exceptional: spotless rooms, consistently kind and attentive staff, and delicious à la carte meals that exceeded expectations. It’s the perfect place for anyone seeking peace, excitement, and a deep connection with nature. But the real highlight of our stay was our guide, Zee. It was truly a privilege to meet and learn from him. Zee is incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much about the vegetation, the animals, and Zulu culture. Beyond his expertise, he stood out for his kindness, care, and dedication to every detail. He turned each game drive into something extraordinary and made our experience unforgettable. I highly recommend Babanango Reserve and hope to return soon for more relaxing and exciting days — and, of course, with the chance to be guided again by the amazing Zee

Set on the banks of the Tugela River, 22 km north of Winterton, Tugela River Lodge features self-catering accommodation 13 km from Spioenkop Nature Reserve and 22 km from Winterton Museum.

The pet-friendly lodge offers a barbecue. We loved this location - quaint, comfortable, and welcoming. The setting and the cabin were fabulous. Julian, our host was great. The cabin had everything we needed. It was clean and roomy, and the beds were comfortable. The wood-heated hot tub was fun. Guest could rent bikes, buy firewood, and 'shop' in the farm stall for fresh eggs, honey, wonderful homemade freezer meals, and much more There are several trails right out the front door that enable you to hike or mountain bike to a reserve with zebras and giraffes. We all wished we could have stayed longer! Thanks Julian!
