Golden Leopard Resorts - Manyane Resort

Everything is NEGLECTED. NO MORE GREEN LAWNS. The main centre has burnt down to ashes. “ELECTRICAL PROBLEM”We were told. Further on its a neglected. A white gazebo is now reception. NO control over noisy people in the camping side. I went inside the burnt down areas. I was so shocked by burnt walls that was once beautiful paintings of animals.Nobody is cleaning away the black debris?? Nor cleaning the pool and fixing the green water! Future guests should BE WARNED AND INFORMED. The pool looks like algae leaves and can be called a dam. i assume frogs can live in there. Its dark. Mirky and dangerous for small kids because the camping area in next to it. I am so dissapointed. On the inside cooked food (chicken) was still in a serving dish. Must be for WEEKS/months now. I did indeed take pics.

Very Bad service. I have tried to cancel a booking for weeks now, by several phone calls and emails. Nothing is happening. I am very disappointed. They were more than happy to take our money... And are far more reluctant to give us a refund. 😒😒😒

We enjoyed our stay very much. The Chalets are clean and comfortable and all the staff are very friendly and helpful. We will stay there again without a doubt. We had lunch at the restaurant twice and the food was very good

From the front gate to the waiter we were treated with a smile and acceptance. Helpfull in all ways. Will go back for sure. Price included breakfast which was more than enough. We arrived with having no where to stay as our booked reservation at another place was a disgrace. The woman working at reception went out of their way to help 4 stranded strangers. Thank you.

The staff are very friendly, but unfortunately no one warned us of the spate of robberies experienced there recently. We had some items stolen from our campsite, and our tent zip was open. Our neighbour said someone was looking into their tent! As three women together we should have been warned of the thefts and told to camp further in for safety. There was also very loud music coming from a nearby pub, very very loud. Sadly, we will not be back again. The facilities are great and the restaurant food was awesome. I sincerely hope they can sort out the thefts.

We visited friends who were in the caravan park. I always remember this park being beautifully maintained with green well kept lawn and gardens. Sadly it looks sad. The ablution facility was clean and tidy. But the approach to the reception and beyond let’s this once Prestine park down. Some good gardening and touching up is desperately needed. Also the tents with damaged canvas - rather remove it than let it flap in the wind. Not sure if Golden Leopard Resorts still runs it - but who ever is responsible is letting a “ little gem” go to ruins.

Only went for one night . Its clean and neat . The ablutions is neat. The wildlife in the resort is people friendly and come close .. My 4 year old loved the birds and rooibok that comes to the campsite.

We had read poor reviews and were worried. However. Manyane restroom was lovely quiet comfortable no frills with all the basics supplied. We stayed in the chalets and these were clean with fresh bed linen and kitchen facilities I’m working order. The staff were very friendly and the restaurant served great breakfasts.

Don't go. We drove up to Pilansberg from Cape Town for a week long stay at Manyane. We stayed 1 night and packed up and left the next day. Upon arrival the place is clearly run down. Some buildings with broken windows and overgrown with bush. All thatch roofs in dire need of rethatching. The glamping tents in complete disrepair. The camp site we chose was strewn with litter. It was busy and there weren't many options to choose from. The bin on our site hadn't been cleaned for days. Hundreds of flies in and around it and the stench was unbearable. We never saw a single braai that was useable or that you would want to cook meat on. All rusted / burnt through and if there was a grid it was disgusting. Electrical points were a hazard. Wires hanging out, switches not working. Thumping music inside the camp. Music from outside the camp even louder. Ablutions were disgusting and had not been cleaned. No hot water. As a plan B to save our holiday we went and checked out Bakgatle camp site. Much cleaner but also very run down and dated. The game park was stunning and was what we were really there for. The wild life and birdlife was stunning. All the staff we encountered were a pleasure, the resort was just totally under staffed. We also did go in peak season which would have added to the conditions if you are looking for mitigating factors. The reality is that the resort did not become run down over night. This is a lack of investment and is years in the making. I wish we had checked the reviews before going but being regular campers, having camped at most of our National Parks and on the legacy of Pilansberg, we had no reason to check reviews. My advice, check the other recent reviews. You will see common threads. Absolutely visit Pilansberg nature reserve, just don't stay at Manyane or Bakgatle until they have been upgraded.
