Truly first class amazing hotel. From the moment you step through the picturesque entrance you are treated by the most wonderful, happy and attentive staff. Food - we had breakfast every day and it was beautiful.  The choice covered all diets Rooms - the room was spotlessly clean and spacious and kept on top of by the cleaning staff.  They even did a turndown service which was a nice touch. The bed and duvet were mega comfortable and a good sleep was guaranteed. Surroundings - The pool was so peaceful with great quality sun loungers, and nice towels and sun creams were left in baskets in the table. Staff - EVERYONE was so happy, smiley and nicely attentive without being over the top.  They couldn't do enough for us from start to finish.  They were an absolute credit to the hotel manager and should be appreciated. It was our first time in Franschhoek and we would definitely, and when we do then Leeu House will be our hotel of choice again. Read less

Of the 7 places we stayed in while visiting SA, Leeu House was our favorite. We stepped into the lobby and they seated us in front of the fire with a glass of champagne. They took our keys and retrieved our bags and placed them in our room. Every detail mattered to the staff and we felt so cared for. Their turndown service was the best, and the… Read more
Of the 7 places we stayed in while visiting SA, Leeu House was our favorite. We stepped into the lobby and they seated us in front of the fire with a glass of champagne. They took our keys and retrieved our bags and placed them in our room. Every detail mattered to the staff and we felt so cared for. Their turndown service was the best, and the underfloor heating in the bathroom is so perfect for cold rainy days. The room was beautiful, the bed was comfortable, and we had everything we needed. The hotel itself is situated in a very walkable area in Franschhoek and we felt safe walking to grab a drink. When we had plans for dinner on the estate they provided a private driver for a reasonable amount that was billed directly to our room. We enjoyed Epice, and La Petit Colombe, (both part of the property) both were beautiful dinners. Read less

Leeu House is a lovely gem in Franschhoek! We wish we could have stayed longer than 2 nights! The food was excellent, staff went above and beyond, and the location is great for doing the wine tram and other Franschhoek activities/restaurants. Highly recommend Le Petite Colombe at Leeu Estates!
