Apologies this review is so late What a hotel and what amazing staff! The concierge Debbie is just stunningly brilliant and ultra personable. We were hoping to go to Nelson Mandela’s villa in the nearby prison but Debbie informed us this wasn’t open to the public.

Apologies this review is so late What a hotel and what amazing staff! The concierge Debbie is just stunningly brilliant and ultra personable. We were hoping to go to Nelson Mandela’s villa in the nearby prison but Debbie informed us this wasn’t open to the public. The ‘Walk to Freedom’ is iconic in every sense, and something we wanted to feel first hand. Our room was upgraded to a full suite (stunning) and the phone went at 5.00pm asking us to be in reception at 11.00am the next day. Debbie has arranged a personal escorted tour of the villa with Regan (our wonderful driver, ex policeman who had been paralysed by a car accident 14 years ago) and Pastor Manfred Jacobs the most wonderful human being you could wish to Meet. Emotional doesn’t get close , but thank you is hugely inadequate - nonetheless thank you Debbie, Regan and Pastor Jacobs - it was life changing. The hotel is exceptional, everything is just perfect- thank you so much - we are coming back for the British Lions tour and hope to be back . Much love xxx Read less

We’ve been to Franschhoek 8 times over the last 12 years and have stayed at other properties including Mont Rochelle and La Cle des Montagnes. We go to immerse ourselves in the laidback lifestyle and also to experience world class cuisine at the most amazing concentration of gourmet restaurants in such a picturesque and beautiful setting. In Le Quartier Francais we have found THE best place to stay in Franschhoek. The whole ambience - complete seclusion and privacy in the resident’s areas at the rear of the property, including gorgeous rooms and a tranquil pool area. At the same time, the vibrancy and atmosphere of the Protege bar and restaurant, and the terrace overlooking the high street. All amidst a most eclectic and stunning art collection. The perfect combination. The complimentary shuttle service is excellent as is the opportunity to experience the other Leeu properties in Franschhoek as a quasi guest. The truly outstanding highlight, however, is the people at LQF - so friendly and attentive. We absolutely loved it and will definitely be back. Read less

We spent 3 nights here and enjoyed every moment. The room and bathroom were large and beautiful with all amenities and fabulous artwork. The pool and gardens were lovely and the peaceful setting (whilst also fronting onto the main street for easy access to shops and restaurants) was delightful. The staff and service was exemplary and the breakfast in the little patio delicious. We enjoyed a tasting at the Leeu Estate and a second tasting which they organised for us including transport. Even on really busy nights they always managed to find a table for us somewhere lovely. Read less
