Lazy Leopard - romantic self catering cottages on the Rheenendal Ramble, Garden Route, South Africa - idyllic honeymoon hideaways.

Lazy Leopard offers secluded, self-catering accommodation overlooking the magnificent Knysna Forest. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Outeniqua Mountains, your view is uninterrupted - just rolling forest, open skies, and the soothing presence of nature stretching out before you.

There are two eco-friendly cottages with breathtaking views of the forest valley. Lazy Leopard is completely off-grid, powered by solar energy, and does not depend on the municipality for water - we have our own sparkling clean, independent water supply.

Starry Forest and Forest Moon which sleep 2 people each and are perfect for a truly romanctic getaway. Honeymoon extras such as champagne and chocolates are also available on request.
