Leopard Rock

Coffee Shop and Viewing Site

It is a very special experience when you are able to sit down for a yummy home made meal while looking down at the clouds below you hugging the sides of the magnificent Oribi Gorge.

The Leopard Rock Coffee Shop and Viewing Site is such a place and a ‘must visit’ when you visit the Oribi Gorge area. The air is fresh, the owners (Andries and Sue Bruwer) and their staff are very friendly and always over deliver when looking after you. You might arrive there as a stranger but you will leave feeling like a friend of their family.

It is 26 km from Port Shepstone and close to the Oribi Gorge Nature Reserve and Lake Eland Game Reserve. The Coffee Shop/Restaurant is fully licensed, the food is ‘as good as mom’s or even better’ home made fare and always freshly prepared.

They offer light snacks but also full meals. Don’t forget to try the delicious cream cake!

Leopard Rock Viewing Site

Next to the Coffee Shop (to the left) is the well known 2,5 meter Leopard Rock that jutts out from the side of the cliff allowing for breath taking views over the Oribi Gorge and the Umzimkulu River below. It is perfectly safe and didn’t feel scary at all when we were standing on it.

The garden around the Coffee Shop is a bird’s haven with several feeding stations that also offers greats views over the Gorge.

There is accommodation available is you wish to stay over.
