Leopard Corner Guest House is a 4 Star Guest House, located in the small town of St Lucia and situated on the edge of the forest/greenbelt area surrounding St Lucia.
St
Lucia forms part of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, South Africa’s oldest
Heritage Site.
Leopard
Corner is named after a young leopard who lives in the forest/greenbelt area
adjacent to the Guest House.
Our main wooden deck (Breakfast Area)
overlooks the pool and the Cycad garden and 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.
St Lucia has the largest number of different
bird species found together, in one place, out of the entire continent of
Africa.
Secure parking and boat washing facilities for ski-boats are available, but limited to 4 ski-boats per day.
