    This was the most wonderful place to visit as a couple, we celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary and each moment at this cabin was excellent. The attention to detail was just amazing. We relaxed for two days. Corlia our host was friendly and very helpful. Put this experience on your bucket list instead of a boring boat cruise or a hotel. The bath on the veranda and the shower wich feels like you are showering in the forest is realy amazing. The old school way of watching movies is brilliant. The pool is private and you can skinny dip! There is a forest walk and several secluded spots where one can have a picnic. The units are clean and well kept...

    Stayed here for our honeymoon. Wonderful place, great setting. Quiet, private and tranquil. Amazing views and atmosphere. Good quality linen and all the appliances are there that you might need. Neat and clean. The manager was very friendly and helpful and made sure our stay was pleasant. Would definitely recommend this place!

    An absolutely breathtaking place. The Lazy Leopard Forest Retreat is the most beautiful place to enjoy a quiet and intimate break away with your loved one or family. We spent our honeymoon here and we had the most amazing time. The view, the atmosphere and scenic setting is superbly breathtaking. Corlia the Host is so kind, hospitable and caring and she has really done a sterling job. We would definitely be visiting again!

    This place is heaven on earth. From the first class living space with everything you could possible need to the breath taking views on offer. There is a stunning bath on the balcony to take in the view while laying in luxury. And the view from your bed runs onto the deck and into the Forrest.

    Out of this world views from Starry Forest cottage! Peaceful and private with everything you need for a relaxing spot to call home (alas temporarily). Couldn't have asked for anything better, love it <3

    What a place! The photos don't do justice to the Lazy Leopard. You walk in the door and the quaint charm of the cabin amazes you. The bathtub under the stars, the hammock on the veranda, the shower with huge glass windows that make it feel like you're showering in nature. And all the little details are just done so thoughtfully. We would love to come back here!

    We had our honeymoon here. A truly unique, serene and humbling experience. Beautiful view right on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Knysna greenery. Private, luxurious and quite. A true break away.

    Lovely cozy rooms with beautiful views and the most awesome shower/bath locations that give you incredible views and ambience. We've stayed in the Forest Moon, Starry Forest and Leopard's View cottages and loved them all. The first two were lovely romantic spots while Leopard's View has a good bit more space with a very cool deck for time spent chilling outdoors or with friends.

    Wow!!! Wish I could tell everyone about this hidden gem!! What a terrific stay we had!! We absolutely loved it!! Better views for sunrise you cannot find! We work in 6* luxury cruise line industry and the touches we found in the cottage blew our minds! Small things but so impressive! We we're super impressed! Making breakfast and dinner on the deck was just spectacular! Chilling in front of the fire place was just mesmerising.. loved everything about this stay! Everything you need in the cottage. No wifi. The bathtub on the deck was phenomenal and the open glass in the shower overlooking the valley was also breathtaking!! We'll definitely go back!!
