Leeu House

in the last week

We spent 3 nights in this beautiful hotel recently as part of a three week birthday celebration. The arrival was seamless and we had a wonderful warm welcome. Every member of staff knew us by name and greeted us warmly throughout our stay. There were lovely birthday gifts in our room and the celebrations continued throughout our stay. Nothing was a problem to the staff . Breakfast was exceptional and served on the gorgeous terrace. A big thank you must go to Dilan for his warmth and constant smile and to Marius for his gentle attention. Our experience here has been one to remember and we will be back again.

What a lovely experience we had at leeu house on our honeymoon! The staff were so kind and made our stay so special. The room service is 10/10 and the beds were SO comfortable. I loved it here and even went to the Leeu estates spa and lobby lounge and that was also 10/10. Highly recommend the Leeu collection and am lucky to have stayed here.

We have been lucky enough to stay at Leeu House twice, and we can honestly say it’s one of our favourite hotels in the world. Everything about it is idyllic – a beautiful setting in the picturesque Franschhoek valley; elegant interiors with lots of interesting, unique artworks; spacious, tasteful rooms; an immaculate pool area surrounded by greenery and florals – and above all, flawless, warm, welcoming service throughout our stay from the moment we arrived to the moment we (reluctantly!) left. The team truly goes above and beyond to make your stay special and we can’t thank them enough for making both our visits so memorable. Everyone is so kind and warm and genuinely wants you to have the best stay. We met Marius on our first stay when we were celebrating our honeymoon, and he was just so wonderful, attentive, friendly and kind throughout both our stays – he made us feel like VIPs which was so special and appreciated, and I imagine he makes every guest feel that way as well! Gaylin, Sabrina and the rest of the team on reception/concierge are also lovely and incredibly helpful in sorting out any dinner or travel or any other plans you may need assistance with – it’s also always lovely to chat with them when you get back from a day out or dinner. In the on site restaurant and bar, Jason and Dylon are such a joy with an incredible attention to detail and such smiley, happy service that never feels intrusive or rushed. The team can’t do enough for you and they really care about ensuring you have the best possible experience during your time there. Leeu House is a beautiful hotel in a gorgeous setting – but the warm hospitality makes it all the more special. The hotel is quite intimate with the elevated boutique feel synonymous with the SLH group. Every corner is carefully considered with a sense of warmth and the little touches – a glass of Cap Classique on arrival, the lovely, friendly doormen who greet you at the gate every time you return or leave, a complimentary wine tasting at the Great Heart winery – make it even more memorable and excellent. On our most recent visit, we were incredibly grateful and lucky to be upgraded to the Pool Suite – a gorgeous suite adjacent to the pool area. The room is beautiful with a cosy fireplace, roll top bath tub with Charlotte Rhys bubble bath and bath salts, huge bathroom, chic seating area, a double walk-in his and hers wardrobes, honesty bar, a pretty outdoor terrace and the comfiest bed! All the rooms are beautiful but this was such a thoughtful and kind gesture and made our stay in South Africa even more incredible. Thank you to the wonderful Leeu House team who made our stay so perfect. We truly can’t recommend it enough! It’s a five star experience from start to finish – we can’t wait for our next visit!

I was initially a little hesitant to book Leeu House given the price, especially since we had quite a packed itinerary in Franschhoek. But wow, this is possibly one of the best boutique hotels we’ve ever stayed in. Everything about the property exudes understated elegance. The pool area is beautifully designed, with such a rich and tasteful aesthetic. Even the breakfast spread was presented with so much finesse. It’s really the little details that set this place apart. The staff were always warm, attentive and ready to assist, making us feel right at home throughout our stay. A truly beautiful property, and one we would happily return to!
