Leopard Corner Lodge

ST LUCIA ESTUARY

Welcome to Leopard Corner Lodge,

St Lucia forms part of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, South Africa’s first & oldest Heritage Site, established on 03 December 1999.

Leopard Corner Lodge is named after a young male leopard that lived in the forest adjacent to the Lodge. Our Lodge has the perfect location in our beautiful St Lucia, located on the corner of Shad and Sandpiper streets, the streets closest to the beach, away from the hustle and bustle of the town.

Leopard Corner Lodge is a luxury 4 Star Guest House with 9 en-suite bedrooms that can accommodate up to 24 guests.

Leopard Corner Lodge is the sister Lodge of Leopard Tree Lodge (a luxury self-catering lodge, down the street from Leopard Corner Lodge)

All of the Guest Rooms at Leopard Corner Lodge are named after the prey of the majestic predator, the Leopard. From small antelope, like the Duiker, to huge trophy buck like the Eland & Koedoe, Leopard Corner’s Room names cover the entire spectrum of possible “leopard food”.

Our Lodge is not surrounded by 4 concrete walls, which allows our guests to enjoy a view of the forest and experience the wildlife St Lucia has to offer. Since located on the edge of the forest/greenbelt area surrounding St Lucia (not enclosed by 4 walls around us), our guests have the advantage of seeing hippos passing the Lodge at nighttime, a few meters away from the Lodge, busy grazing in the forest adjacent to our Lodge. Other animals to view from the Lodge are various species of birds, monkeys, different species of antelope, warthog, bushpig and the occasional Leopard and hyena.

When the cycads are in bloom, it is common to see the many species of birds that come to feed on the variety of red seeds produced by our Cycads in the garden. St Lucia has the largest number of different bird species found together, in one place, out of the entire continent of Africa.

Upon arrival at Leopard Corner Lodge, our guests are welcomed with a welcoming drink and a map of St Lucia and the nearby iSimangaliso Wetland Park, showing both the Eastern Shores and the Western Shores Game Reserves.

Free secure and open parking is available at the Lodge but limited to 1 vehicle per room.

Leopard Corner Lodge is wheelchair friendly and 4 of our rooms are 100% wheelchair accessible.

3 of our rooms at Leopard Corner Lodge is equipped with spa-baths and glass showers.

Each of the rooms has its own cooler box for guests to use. We recommend packing it full of refreshments for a picnic lunch when visiting the Wetland Park.

Our Lodge has a communal braai (gas braai only)/social area, located at the pool area, for the exclusive use by our guests only.

Each of our rooms is fitted with high quality hospitality range mattresses.

Our lodge has back-up power supply in case of power failures/load shedding. We are equipped with a 54Kva silent diesel generator, as well as solar power.

Our Lodge is one of very few accommodation establishments in St Lucia that is located on the edge of the forest/greenbelt area surrounding St Lucia and is within walking distance away from the beaches and the town. Situated in the street closest to the beach, away from the hustle & bustle of the town, our guests will enjoy a calm and relaxing stay with us.

There are many different tours and activities that can be enjoyed in and around St Lucia. All of these, including safari game drives to 3 game reserves surrounding or close to St Lucia (Eastern Shores, Western Shores and Hluhluwe game reserves), Ocean Explore Fishing Adventure, turtle breeding tours, snorkeling tours at Cape Vidal, Hippo and Croc boat cruises on the Estuary, deep sea fishing, horse riding, hiking, birding etc, can all be arranged and booked from Leopard Corner’s reception.
