We had a fantastic time on the Leopard Trail and in the Hikers Hut. The Hikers House is really awesome and the Trail is something out of this world.
Thank you so much for the opportunity.

It was a great adventure. Really enjoyed it although pretty tough on the legs. A bit cool in the evenings, but expected for a winter season.
Only 2 items to feedback :
- suggest to add few extra markers for day 2 and 3, at times we were following the general direction and most well travelled path.
- The shower at day 1 could do with a screen, the bush only covers it a bit but it is somewhat visible from the toilet
The hikers hut was much better than expected, I have been at several hiking huts and they have been very basic. So that was a great luxury.
Well done to the team to set it out and it is a special part of the country. Will spread the news.

We had a wonderful time and everybody enjoyed the hike tremendously. The mountain is looking good after the fire and lots of new growth everywhere, and also many different kinds of flowers ! Just dry in the river beds. I think after the floods earlier this year, some of the signs got lost, we sometimes struggled to find the yellow leopard feet, especially in the river beds on day three. But no worries, nobody got lost. Maybe just a few kilometre indications?
The accommodation at Cedar Falls were great, and we appreciated those lovely and warm beds. Thanks again for your assistance

We had the absolute best time in Baviaanskloof!
The Just for Two Cottage is so cute and cozy and the surrounds too beautiful for words.
We walked up to the waterfall and braved the freezing cold pools to get all the way to the top. It was so worth the cold!
The silence and break from phone signal was fabulous and well needed.
We have nothing to say but thank you! Willem is a sweetheart and everything was perfectly clean and spotless. Also loved how even the sand outside was raked like a zen garden.
We will definitely be back soon for a longer stay.
Cedar Falls April 2019
…there was nothing holding us two old toppies from getting to the falls….using tight fitting wollen undergarments and great positive attitude we braved the icy water and managed to really enjoy these awesome falls….perhaps a simple wooden raft made out of the old cedar logs could be made for those less ” mad “..
The path cut open was a great help.
The accommodation very pleasant.
Perhaps your biggest asset however is Willem..as manager, host, guide, supervisor etc he is superb.
regards dr Haggis and Sandy ( both in our 71 st yrs so no excuses from the youngesters! )..

We have fallen in love with the cute historic cottage with the outdoor toilet and open-air bathroom. It was a very different experience and a lot of fun.
The hiking through fynbos and interesting geological formations was stunning. I recommend the two short swims and climb up to the Cedar Falls.
It is so beautiful and must be seen to be appreciated. The water is cold so a wetsuit is advisable.
