Leopard Tree Lodge
The Lodge is named after the biggest and oldest Leopard Tree to be found in St Lucia, which is located at the entrance of the Lodge.
Our Lodge is one of a very few accommodation establishments in St Lucia that is located on the edge of the forest/greenbelt area surrounding St Lucia, which provides the opportunity to experience wildlife encounters while staying at our Lodge.
Our Lodge has 10 modern/spacious apartments, each individually/uniquely decorated, and can accommodate a maximum of 34 guests.
Each of our Apartments has an undercover balcony/patio seating area, private entrance, fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning with fans, free WIFI/Internet, flat screen Smart TV, DSTV, wall-mounted safe, emergency lights, hairdryer, free safe and secure private parking for one vehicle per apartment.
Our Lodge has a communal braai area that is located next to the pool and on the edge of the Forest.
Our Lodge is equipped with a 54 KVA diesel generator (power supply unit) and a borehole.
Our Lodge is also equipped with a newly installed Solar Power System, which will provide for all the basic essentials like water supply, lights, Wi-Fi, TV, fans, security etc. during quiet hours (22:00 pm and 07:00 am) when there are power failures/load shedding issues, and the generator is not allowed to operate.
The pool and terrace area is elevated from the rest of the property and only accessible via stairs.
Important: Since St Lucia is located in a World Heritage Site, the town’s Bylaws stipulate that generators are not allowed to operate during quiet hours (22:00 pm to 07:00 am). The Lodge’s generator will as such not be allowed to operate between 22:00 pm and 07:00 am should power failure/load shedding issues be experienced in town. Should power failure/load shedding issues be experienced between 07:00 am and 22:00 pm (Not Quiet Hours), then the generator will operate and will supply power to the Lodge and our guests at the Lodge.
Check-in time at our Lodge is between 14:00 pm & 19:00 pm.
Check-out time at our Lodge is between 07:00 am & 10:00 am
It is important to notify the Lodge Manager of your time of arrival, especially when arriving after 19:00 pm. Our Lodge Manager can be contacted on +27 (0)73 403 0121 or e-mailed at info@leopardtreelodge.co.za.
NO CHECK-IN AFTER 21:00 PM AS RECEPTION WILL BE CLOSED AND NOBODY WILL BE AVAILABLE AT THE LODGE TO HELP YOU WITH CHECK-IN (UNLESS PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE WITH OUR LODGE MANAGER).
St Lucia offers many different tours and activities that can be experienced by our guests in and around our beautiful town. All of these, including day/night game drive Safari’s to 3 game reserves (Eastern Shores, Western Shores and Hluhluwe/Imfolozi game reserves), whale watching, turtle breeding, snorkeling at Cape Vidal, hiking, horse riding, boat cruises on the Estuary, deep sea fishing, cultural tours, birding, crocodile centre and more, can all be arranged and booked from Leopard Tree Lodge’s reception.
St Lucia is most famous for its town’s hippos roaming the streets of St Lucia town at night-time. These hippos (only a few of the hundreds inhabiting the St Lucia Estuary) exit the Estuary at night-time and enter the streets of St Lucia to graze on the sidewalks of the town, only to return to the Estuary at dawn. Guests staying at our Lodge often encounter the town’s hippos roaming the streets of our town when driving around at nighttime, alternatively, while sitting at our communal braai area and/or on the terrace at our Lodge, guests will also have the opportunity to view/experience these hippos passing the forest area adjacent to our Lodge.
