What people are saying

Leopard Rock Hotel sits high in the Bvumba mountains outside Mutare, and reviewers who dine here tend to praise the setting and staff ahead of the food itself. Bastian (January 2019) found “The food is excellent and the staff is extremely friendly,” and FlameLily (January 2019) called the breakfast “to die for” after a quiet, near-empty stay. Bridget (March 2025) described a family weekend where the food was “so delicious and also affordable”, alongside giraffe and ostrich sightings on the game drive.

Not every recent account agrees. El-magnifico (January 2026) returned after years away and was unsettled to find “the water was brown” and the bathrooms in poor shape, a sharp contrast with the property's reputation. Kundai (December 2022) enjoyed the stay overall but noted they “need to work on their Dinning Room / Restaurant chairs”, and several reviewers separately mention the golf course losing the condition it once had.

What keeps people coming back is the staff, named individually again and again, from Lazarus and Shepherd to James, and the wildlife wandering the game park at feeding time in the late afternoon.

“We really enjoyed the family weekend away. The food was so delicious and also affordable. The game viewing was the best we saw giraffes, ostrich many other wild animals. We managed to see the water falls. For those who like to play golf, that's the place to be.”

1.0 / 5

“I used to love this place and truly thought it was a gem but now it has been ran to the ground. The reviews do not do justice on how bad it has become. The smell, the water was brown, the bathrooms were disturbingly unpleasant. It's a shame.”

“Nice views and beautiful course. However they need to work on their Dinning Room / Restaurant chairs and also their access control system as we had to have someone tag for us each time we needed access into our room other than that, great stay…”

“Another beautiful weekend in Leopard Rock. The golf course was in the best condition i have seen it in a long time. Both sides had bushbuck on nearly every hole. Hotel was perfect and as usual James and Shepherd hospitality was exemplary. Well-done and thanks for having us.”
