Overview
"Beautiful Property"
06 Jan 2020
By Lerryn Thom
"We booked the Kingfisher room. It was just enough for us.It is unfortunate that due to the blooding in this area, there was a lot of damage. This place needs a lot of TLC. Due to this there wasn't much to do. The game drive vehicle was not operational. The staff however were very attentive and tried to assist as far as they could."

"Relaxing spot on the river, close to JHB"
05 Apr 2016
By Joshua, South Africa
"We stayed for 2 nights at the river camp at Luiperdskloof in order to arrive at the nearby Ezemvelo for a mountain bike race.The accommodation was adequate but far from charming. The best feature being the view.Unfortunately, we were surrounded by a large group with crying kids but this didn't affect the experience.The place looks a little tired - the pool table, putt putt and table tennis look old and some of the fittings in the rooms could be modernised somewhat. That said, the walk to the "Pinnacle" is magnificent and the accommodation is probably the best you will find in the area.All in all a really pleasant place for a weekend break - next time will book the tree lodge which looks great!"
