    I can not think of any room for improvement, short of the weather, but that, I am afraid, is beyond Booking's control

    I liked everything about this place: starting with its charming hostess, very helpful staff, gorgeous premises, tasty breakfast and overall a family like atmosphere. It offers all I think think of.

    Municipal water shortage affected our shower briefly but that is not the fault of the owner and the problem was quickly fixed with water from their own storage tank

    Excellent breakfast cooked for us personally according to our preferences Leigh, the hostess, went out of her way to make our stay exceptional Our flight was not until the late evening so she encouraged us to stay and relax by the pool until the late afternoon, providing us with lunch at a very modest cost.

    We had a lovely 4 day stay at this charming bed & breakfast. Owner Leigh and her professional staff were exceptional and very welcoming. They made sure throughout our visit that everything was well and gave a few good suggestions. We very much liked the location as everything was a short Uber ride away and there were nice restaurants in the area as well. Room itself was clean and equipped with everything we needed. Pool in the lodge was lovely and surrounded by a beautiful and well-kept garden. Simply loved it! Thank you for your hospitality.

    I can't think of anything.

    There is nothing like the generosity and hospitality of South Africa, and Leigh exemplifies this. She prepared delicious meals for us as we arrived late in Jhb one night and wanted a relaxed evening outside with friends the second. It felt such a treat to spend the evening outside at their lodge. Leighwood lodge has a beautiful, oasis like garden attracting all types of birds. We misplaced an item which Leigh effortlessly ensured made its way to us in Cape Town. Breakfast was fresh and delicious. Location ideal. Close enough to the airport. Highly recommend Leighwood lodge for business and tourist travelers.

    For us, the mattress was a little too hard, but then again, for someone else it might be the best ever.

    This place is home away from home, it'll be as if you're staying at a family member's place. We were there only for one night but had the pleasure to meet Leigh and Alan and some of the staff. Everyone was very kind, helpful, and happy to chat. Nice, spacious room, bathroom with tub and shower, the garden is lovely, and we had a fantastic breakfast.
