In more detail

Despite siting at the heart of Franschhoek village, the property feels secluded, with shaded terraces, manicured gardens and a relaxed residential atmosphere with views of the surrounding mountains, just moments from the valley’s celebrated food and wine culture. The interiors take inspiration from traditional Cape Dutch architecture, interpreted with a contemporary eye. Neutral tones, layered textures and carefully selected artworks create a calm and elegant aesthetic. The 12 rooms and one suite are individually designed, each offering superbly comfortable beds, high‑quality linens and natural textiles. Classic Rooms include intimate terrace courtyards, while Deluxe Rooms open onto private gardens. Select rooms feature private terraces, ideal for quiet moments outdoors. Bathrooms are indulgent, with marble floors, free‑standing baths or generous showers, underfloor heating and heated towel rails. Guests also enjoy access to the 15‑metre swimming pool, framed by mountain views and a shaded terrace.

Dining is reserved exclusively for residents. Breakfast is served daily in The Conservatory or al fresco on the terrace, while the all‑day menu focuses on seasonal produce sourced from the Leeu Locally Grown initiative.Guests also have full access to the world-class facilities at the Leeu Collection’s sister properties. Hidden amongst rolling vineyards and gardens, Leeu Estates boasts its own winery, wellness spa and restaurant offering long, leisurely meals that showcase the finest local produce and vibrant world flavours.
