We had the most wonderful stay at Leopard Tree Lodge. We visited with our son, daughter-in-law and their baby. We hired the Hornbill and Kingfisher apartments which both overlooked the pool and had picnic benches outside the deck which made for peaceful early morning reads and relaxed meals. The apartments have well equipped kitchens with thoughtful equipment such as food storage boxes, full range of cooking equipment, a fridge freezer, hob and microwave oven. The apartments were immaculately clean throughout. The bathroom had a toilet, handbasin and walk-in shower and as someone who is phobic about clean bathrooms I had no problems with this one! There was plenty of storage space in the kitchen for food and the bedrooms for clothing. The air conditioning was efficient. One bonus which is unusual in a self catering apartment is that they were serviced daily so our beds were made, we had new towels and they were cleaned each day. The lodge enjoys a perfect location backing directly onto the forest provided a stunning backdrop with numerous species of birds and wildlife. Walking through it was possible during the day. Whilst on the edge of St Lucia, it is just a short, easy and safe 15 minute walk to the centre. The pool area was also extremely well maintained with sunbeds and cushions and the pool was a good size for swimming. It was cleaned regularly. Behind the pool was a covered braai area with picnic tables providing a perfect area for an evening meal. Waldo and his team were great! Welcoming, helpful and full of tips for local restaurants and places to visit. There is plenty to do in the area including trips to the game park, hippo and croc tours, snorkelling at Cape Vidal. All in all this was the perfect accommodation and destination for a holiday which you can make as busy or relaxing as you want to. We would definitely return.
