On the road again: Leopards and Louries, Camperdown, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa

As we do not travel in peak season, this was our last trip for 2015.
We were a bit concerned when we ended up in a small suburb as the website described the place as a 'bush lodge'. However, once inside the gates, we were not disappointed!

The view is absolutely incredible and the rock pool is just as fantastic as the pictures on the website. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the yard with all of it's 'natural decor' (interesting bits of wood), amazing plants and flowers.

The room itself is very basic - just a double bed, television, dressing table and chair and another table with a microwave. Unfortunately both units are built on to the owner's house and are right next to each other.

The walls are paper thin so there is not much privacy. We were lucky that the couple that were staying next door went out for the afternoon so we had the entire place to ourselves. However on the Monday morning there were quite a few people (boarders from what I can gather) on the deck so we didn't even ask for a later check-out.

Great features:

* Lovely view, peace and quiet

* The breakfast was basic but delicious

* Fantastic pool overlooking the view and a smaller one next to it

* Lots of amazing plants and birds

Not so great features:

* No privacy

* No shower curtain so the bathroom floor gets wet

* Only a microwave for cooking so rather bring your own dinner or go out

Price: Average for a bed and breakfast (More than R500 per person but includes breakfast)

Would we go back: Probably not, we value our privacy

Recommended for: Couples / singles who are just stopping over for the night and intend on leaving early in the morning.

Host/s: The owner was very hard to get hold of over email and cell-phone but the lady who let us in was fantastic! She really made us feel welcome.
