Description

Discover a place where peace, tranquility, and genuine hospitality are at the very heart of the experience at Leopard Trail Guest Farm. Perfectly situated against the beautiful foothills and slopes of the Langeberg mountains, this working farm offers an accessible and restorative escape from the city. Conveniently located on the R60 between Swellendam and Ashton, it serves as a fantastic central base for exploring the wider region. Above all, this is a place where guests are invited to slow down, unwind, and experience the profound beauty of these unspoiled natural surroundings.

The farm’s bush camp is a true hidden gem, a secluded haven nestled between dramatic mountain cliffs. Here, you will find a beautiful, park-like camping area set on lush green lawns, with plenty of mature trees providing a generous canopy of cool shade. The heart of the bush camp is its lovely dam, a tranquil body of water that offers a perfect spot for a refreshing swim, a bit of fishing, or a gentle paddle in one of the available rowing boats. It’s a wonderfully private and serene environment for a classic, relaxing camping getaway.

What truly sets Leopard Trail apart is its wonderfully generous and unhurried philosophy. This is most beautifully demonstrated by the simple but powerful policy that on Sundays, guests are welcome to stay as long as they want. There is no rush to pack up and check out; you are invited to savor every last moment of your weekend break. It is this thoughtful, guest-focused approach, combined with the spectacular natural setting and comfortable amenities, that makes Leopard Trail a truly special and heartfelt destination.

Lovely caping grounds. Lage open slace with trees for shade. Woodfire boiler for hot water, hiking trails, dam with kayaks and raft that kids love!

Beautiful campsite with lush grass and clean ablutions. So many trails to hike or 4x4. Lovely dams to swim or fish in. Great wildlife! The owners are so friendly and accommodating, we will definitely be back!

We had a superb weekend camping at Leopards Trail in the Bonnie vale area. Camping is surrounded by huge trees for shade and the ablutions were basics, but clean and efficient. Donkey for hot water and plenty of fresh water. Swimming in the dam was great - easy access on a sandy bank so no swimming shoes required. Also found a delightful swimming hole on the way to the waterfall. I could have easily spent the day there. Fresh jersey milk available from the owners - some of our fellow campers had never tasted real milk before.

5/5 stars! We've had the pleasure of experiencing Leopard Trail twice, and both times were unforgettable! We first stayed in one of their beautiful houses, which exceeded our expectations. The accommodations were comfortable and well-appointed, making us feel right at home. On our second visit, we decided to rough it and stay at the campsite, which was perfect for our adventurous spirits. The rugged campsite and scenic views were breathtaking. Friendly staff and excellent facilities. We can't wait to come back and explore more of what Leopard Trail has to offer!

We stayed in the guesthouse for 4 nights over Easter with a couple of friends. Lizette upgraded us with no questions asked. The old houses have so much character and very spacious. We hiked to the stunning waterfall. We drove a couple of the 4x4 tracks. We did some swimming in the dam, and birdwatching made this farm a perfect get-away setting. There is no need to leave the farm because on the farm there is so much to see and do.
Thank you Lizette for your warm welcome and our fresh milk ready to used whenever we needed.
