Welcome to Leopard Lodge B&B
Tucked away in the exclusive Glenfruin Estate in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, Leopard Lodge is an owner-run bed and breakfast where tranquility, sophistication, and warm hospitality come together. With its charming thatched roof, manicured indigenous gardens, tranquil ponds, shaded lapa, and quiet seating nooks, Leopard Lodge is the perfect retreat to relax, reflect, and reconnect with nature.
The jewel of the property is the stunning pool, which overlooks the mountains and valleys- an idyllic spot to unwind with a glass of wine and soak in the breathtaking views.
Just a stone’s throw from Hermanus—famous for being one of the best whale-watching destinations in the world—and close to some of the Cape’s most spectacular beaches, Leopard Lodge offers the best of both worlds: peaceful seclusion and easy access to the region’s highlights. Within walking distance, guests will also find a selection of excellent restaurants, while the celebrated Hemel-en-Aarde Wine Route—renowned for its Pinot Noir and acclaimed estates such as Creation Wines—begins right on your doorstep.
Each space at Leopard Lodge is tastefully decorated with the valley’s natural beauty in mind, blending comfort with understated elegance.
Your hostess, Kim van der Bijl, a Hermanus local with years of international experience, ensures every guest feels at home. With her deep knowledge of the valley, Kim is ready to share insider tips—from hidden hiking paths to the finest wine tastings—making every stay truly memorable.
At Leopard Lodge B&B, peace, privacy, and personalized hospitality create the perfect setting for an unforgettable getaway.
