Lepelle, which means the mighty Olifants River-the one that flows stately and slowly, truly lives up to this description. Feel Africa’s heartbeat in the vibrating rhythms of the Spekboom River cascading down the rocks and winding its way through majestic landscape to reveal exquisite indigenous fauna and flora. Listen to the call of the Fish Eagle by day and the bark of the Bushbuck in the reeds at night.
Lepelle Lodge has six en-suite chalets, each with breathtaking views. We can accommodate a maximum of 12 guests at the lodge. All our rooms are fully-furnished and serviced daily.
Relax on our deck and enjoy Africa’s spectacular sunsets, while enjoying our fully-licensed bar. Welcoming fires crackle while traditional stories unfold over delicious evening meals and superb South African wines. Fall asleep to the soothing sound of the Spekboom River and awaken refreshed to enjoy a full English breakfast. Lepelle is equipped to meet all your needs and requirements. We guarantee personal service and attention.
Lepelle is located at the heart of Mpumalanga, close to scenic attractions such as God’s Window, Bourke’s Luck Potholes, The Three Rondawels, Pelgrims Rest and the Kruger National Park.

This place is the best place ever they let you sleeep with a full stomach and they let you go with full stomach the next day food everything was like masterchef i love this place friendly faces everything is clean and netjies would not mind coming again and again

In my opinion, Lepll Lodge is totally worth a visit. If I come back to South Africa I will probably go there again, if the next tour will lead me in this area again. The dinner and breakfast were ok, the accommodation clean (enough) and the road trip to the lodge the first little adventure

So at first driving on this horrible gravel road to lepelle gives you a bad idea of the establishment, until you find yourself in the middle of hundreds of little eyes watching you entering their space.. kudu, impala, nyala, duiker and giraffe. You suddenly get the feeling of pure nature. A breath of fresh air and a little bit of paradise. Everyone very welcoming and the food is to die for. For anyone who wishes for the perfect getaway.. this surely is the place for you.Thank you for your hospitality, excellent service and beautiful establishment.

One of the best places ever been, service was tops ( thanx Frans!) A true gem hidden in the bush veld. Would love to take the whole family there

Stayed in so called Family Chalet which was lovely.... But it's signed as Rondavel, and poor communication about this which meant we drove a 10 km journey along a road that was too rough for a little corolla! No mention of this it other arrangements on any website. Need a higher clearance car for all roads esp to the Rondavels......we bottomed out many many times and had to walk 3 people the 1.5km out the next morning! Access to Lodge is complex needing phones to be answered but few ever were....and communications need to improve about where to go on arrival as a night watchman waits at the chalet for you but you need to pay in main building!! Chalet itself was lovely, lodge was pretty a d very chilled with nice views and great pool. If road was sorted AND communications improved would be 4 or 5 star.

Beautiful, a luxury camp experience. Staff very friendly. Will be visiting again when I get half a chance!
"Short stay at Lepelle"
It was indeed a short stay in that I arrived just after midnight and left the Lodge at six thirty am. My special thanks to Frans who was patiently waiting for us.Hope to visit the resort soon. This time to relax and not in transit.
