Cypiro Leopard Lodge Reviews

My daughter and I just had the pleasure of staying in The Bolgck. All I can say is wow 🤩 the views were spectacular from sunrise until sunset. I enjoyed watching the resident giraffe’s wandering around the property as I sipped my morning coffee… and the odd gin and tonic! The interior design is truly stunning and the beds are so comfortable. Our chef, Earnest, baked us croissants and fresh breads and the most delicious evening meals. We were both blown away by the accommodation and the hospitality. Thank you to all the staff for making our stay so memorable. We can’t wait to return 🙏🩷 .

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Breathtaking setting to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Nestled in a beautiful, serene environment, it offers a perfect balance of luxury and nature.

WOW WOW ! 5 star accommodation, highly recommended. We stayed at THE BLOGCK - 6 days of pure bliss . Super hosts and staff , that went over and beyond to make our getaway memorable. Will definitely be back

We celebrated our honeymoon at the beautiful Cypiro Leopard Lodge! Wow! How incredible from beginning to end - We stayed at Ivory x The staff at Cypiro are so helpful and friendly and we loved every moment from the delicious breakfast to the stargazing roof and the incredible views ! We would definitely recommend to anyone for a real special getaway experience!

Just returned from an amazing family weekend at The Manor, Cypiro Leopard Lodge. Was a very special family time and the venue blew us away. Each bedroom was beautifully appointed with the best linen and thoughtful extras. The staff, specially Lucy could not do enough for us and her happy face was a wonderful welcome. It was my birthday weekend and I was so touched when Pim arrived with an exquisitely decorated cake with even my name. Thank you to all who made this such a wonderful time away ♥️♥️♥️

Quite simply - a very special place on earth.  Completely unspoilt /  charming / exciting / peaceful and restful all at the same time.  Nature, animals, spectacular scenery.  Accommodation is luxurious for all - either a couple or family. Swimming pools galore. Hot tubs.  Skilled massage. Delicious food. Great wines and bubbles. Animal viewing second to none.  The hosts Rob & Pim with their team are exceptional human beings.  Treat them well. They are legends. Go see. You won't regret. Photos don't cut it but here's one to wet the appetite! Amazing!

We had the most wonderful visit to this special lodge. Everything was beautiful and tastefully decorated. I absolutely loved it! The owner really thought of everything we could possibly need (including flour for our pizza!). We can’t wait to visit again.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Cypiro Leopard Lodge that exceeded all my expectations in every way. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with an extremely friendly welcome that made me feel right at home. The food at the lodge was exceptional. Each meal was a culinary delight, featuring a mix of local and international dishes prepared with the finest ingredients. The dining experience was complemented by stunning views of the surrounding scenery, making every meal a truly special occasion. The lodge's location offered plenty of opportunities for interesting walks with breathtaking views. One of the highlights was the chance to meet giraffes during these walks—a magical experience that added a touch of adventure to my stay. The rooms were beautifully decorated, combining modern amenities with a touch of local charm. Each room had its own unique character, and I appreciated the attention to detail in the decor. The lodge offered a variety of places to stay, catering to different preferences and group sizes. Overall, my experience at the lodge was unforgettable. From the warm hospitality and delicious food to the stunning scenery and exciting walks, every aspect of my stay was perfect. I highly recommend this lodge to anyone looking for a relaxing and enriching getaway.

Absolutely incredible. I have stayed at Cypiro Leopard lodge four times now. Each time in different accommodation. Hacienda is my absolute favourite as the animals meander across the lawns all day which is incredible to watch. We even had giraffes and zebra drinking out of a pool! The accommodation is beautifully designed and luxurious. My most recent stay I took my mum for some r&r after surgery. We stayed in The Manor House which is incredibly luxurious with huge amounts of space and stunning furnishings. We had the absolute treat of an in-house chef who catered to our every need. Stunning freshly baked breads and pastries 🥐 in the mornings, fantastic sushi 🍣 and superb 3 course evening meals. Walks around the grounds were both therapeutic and exciting with up close proximity to Zebra, giraffes 🦒, sable antelope, golden wildebeest and many many others. We did 2 guided game drives in Marakele National Park which is absolutely stunning with spectacular Mountain View's and sunsets. The trucks picked us up and dropped us off at our front door, again exceptional service. The owners of Cypiro are wonderful hosts who stop at nothing to ensure their guests have an out of this world African bush experience. We will miss them and their beautiful dogs. Until next time! Which most definitely will be very very soon. Kate xx

Ebony lodge at Cypiro Leopard lodge is an exceptional experience. It is like an astonishing painting, but ever changing....the sky, the clouds and the weather. So much beauty surrounding the Ebony cabin. Perched at just the right point on the rocks to take in the beautiful vista's. To be surrounded by such natural beauty is rare and touches the soul. Ebony is so thoughtfully and tastefully crafted to enjoy this extraordinary piece of nature in absolute luxury.

I cannot compliment the owners and staff of Cypiro Leopard lodge highly enough. We return most years to this idealic spot to recharge. It feels like a home in nature. Can't wait to return.

I recently had an extraordinary experience at a lodge that exceeded my expectations in every aspect! Nestled amidst breathtaking surroundings, the lodge boasts giraffes roaming freely in the garden, enhancing the stay with an unforgettable wildlife encounter. With blessboks, niyalas, and zebras also wandering the grounds, it offers a genuine safari experience right at your doorstep. The staff were exceptionally warm and accommodating, making me feel instantly at home. The owners went out of their way to ensure my stay was memorable, adding a personal touch that made all the difference. What truly distinguishes this lodge is its off-the-grid status. Free from the frustrations of power outages often encountered in South Africa, it was a refreshing experience to disconnect from the daily hustle and bustle and immerse myself in the tranquility of nature. Perched atop a hill, the lodge's location offers breathtaking panoramic views that left me in awe. The landscape unfolding before me was simply spectacular, making every moment spent there truly magical. Moreover, the lodge provides opportunities to embark on thrilling trips through the nearby Marakele Park. This incredible park offers unparalleled wildlife encounters in their natural habitat, adding another layer of excitement to the stay. Overall, my time at this lodge was an unforgettable journey that I will treasure. Its excellent value for money only adds to its allure, and I am eagerly anticipating my return to once again revel in the serenity and beauty of this hidden gem. Thank you so much and we will be back:)

Modern and spacious and well equipped. Furniture, beds and textiles are of very high quality. The most amazing, however, is the patio with a fantastic view and large spaces with a dining area and sun loungers.

We had the most spectacular stay at Ivory this weekend. The location is exquisite; the chalet even more so. Every attention has been paid to comfort and amenity and our expectations were far surpassed. The wood-fired hot tub was something we weren't expecting, and our last evening spent stargazing in it was a highlight - second only to our morning walk alongside the giraffe. I cannot recommend this spot enough - we will without a doubt be back. Thank you to Pim, Robert and Sarah for looking after us so well.

Our stay at the Cypiro Leopard Lodge in the Ivory cottage was simply enchanting. The accommodations were thoughtfully designed, providing both comfort and luxury.

What truly made our experience exceptional was the warm and accommodating nature of the owners. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, offering recommendations and catering to our every need. The serene and tranquil surroundings created a peaceful retreat, allowing us to unwind and reconnect with nature. Cypiro Leopard Lodge is a hidden gem that surpassed our expectations, leaving us with cherished memories. Highly recommended for a truly unforgettable getaway.
