About Leeu House

Leeu House is an exclusive five-star boutique hotel situated on the vibrant main road of Franschhoek village. An oasis of luxury, its main appeal lies in the fact that it feels like a country guesthouse (albeit a super-stylish one), yet is within easy walking distance of Franschhoek’s award-winning restaurants, art galleries and boutiques. Outside, the serene and secluded gardens feature sculptures and a lovely outdoor heated swimming pool with a shaded terrace and inside, the twelve rooms are so well put together, you might never want to leave…

What you'll love

The fabulous artworks and sculptures scattered throughout the hotel and gardens. There’s a visual feast around every corner.

Insiders tip

Several of each room type have mountain views – and we recommend that you snap them up!

Something to think about

Some of the facilities (the spa, La Chene restaurant and the wine studio) are located at Leeu Estates, which is just down the road at the other end of the village.

The property

Leeu House combines traditional Cape Dutch heritage with Franschhoek's unique French-Huguenot architectural style, and the finished product is beautiful. The serene and secluded gardens feature a large collection of sculptures, and the 15-metre heated outdoor pool is ideal at all times of year. Leisurely meals are served in the bright and airy Conservatory restaurant, or al fresco on the terrace; otherwise, pop down to sister property Leeu Estates for more options, or into the village itself. You’re spoiled for choice here!

The rooms

There are twelve beautiful bedrooms to choose from, either rated classic or deluxe and with or without a terrace, and all individually styled. The house has elegant sophistication down to a T and sisal carpets, heavy curtains and plenty of natural linens feel opulent yet relaxed – and you can most certainly put your feet up! To complete the heavenly picture, all bathrooms have marble floors, double vanity tops, free-standing baths, showers, underfloor heating and heated towel rails.
