Leopard Valley Eco Retreat reviews
“Absolutely stunning! This was a wonderful experience, surrounded by high ridges, totally secluded, with only the whisper of the wind and the trickle of a water stream running past our “tiny” home. We stayed in the “Malachite Sunbird” cottage and for me and my wife, absolutely ideal. We found the “off the grid and technology (no TV) superbly healing, and after two days totally relaxed and revitalized! The cottage had fresh bedding, neat and cleaned and enough wood was supplied. Can definitely recommend this!” writes Martin U on their TripAdvisor page.
