An excellent and polished hotel. A lot of time and effort has gone into making this hotel one of the best in the Winelands. We had a great stay in February 2025 and would highly recommend it. 1. Rooms: very comfortable, luxurious and well thought out. Our room had a lovely balcony looking over the valley, which we really enjoyed using at the end of each day. One minor point - we would suggest the hotel includes some form of music device in the room; we were quite surprised there wasn't a sound system. 2. Food: we didnt eat at La Petite Colombe (in the hotel grounds), but there main hotel restaurant was very good. It has a lovely terrace for breakfast and lunch, and a varied menu which was delivered well. 3. Pool/ Spa: pool and spa were excellent. The pool is right on the edge of the vineyards with a lovely view. The Spa just above it and provides a great range of treatments. One minor point - there were at times a shortage of umbrellas, which in the late afternoon can be problematic if the pool area is full given the lack of natural shade. Suggest the hotel gives each pair of sunloungers an umbrella to address this. 4. Location: great location for exploring Franschhoek which is just down the road. The hotel offers a complimentary shuttle in to town each evening. 5. Service: very good. Everyone knows you by name and really tries to make your stay as great as possible.

An absolute gem! Beautiful location, exquisite accommodation, fabulous food. The attention to detail is immediately obvious and the pride of the estate staff is infectious. I couldn't recommend this piece of paradise more highly. Lynn, as our host and event organizer, was next level. Thank you Leeu, for an unforgettable experience.

A wonderful peaceful place to spend a couple of days recharging from busy lives .Our family stayed in the villa called MAX HOUSE which whilst expensive is large and very beautifully appointed. The service here is impeccable we have dietary restrictions and they could not have done more . We did not enjoy the food at breakfast and that service is spotty ..but other than that I would highly recommend splurging if you are in the Franschhoek area . The grounds -flowers and statues in the Leeu Estates are positively breathtaking.

We stayed at Leeu Hotel for my birthday weekend. We chose the best room in the hotel, we were told it had the best view. Little did we know the view was of the pool , surrounded by all the other guests. Absolutely no privacy! The coffee machine and the kettle were kept at the bottom of a wooden cupboard, floor level and extremely hard to reach and the milk frother smelt of spoilt milk. The carpet looked old and was torn at the edge..so much for a 4,7 star rating. Absolutely disappointing.

A lovely property enhanced by a team of very professional and approachable team. Unfortunately I wasn’t feeling too well on arrival, the team quietly and seamlessly were proactive in anticipating my needs. The hot water bottle was appreciated and comforting..thank you! My suite and most especially the terrace was beautiful and extremely well appointed. The restaurant team were attentive yet not overbearing. I enjoyed my three days at the property and look forward to my return visit. The experience of everything the Leeu Estate has to offer should not be overlooked! Enjoy…

I was overcharged for nuts and olives at the wine bar. Usually, when you order wine at the bar, it comes with nuts and olives as a complementary item, but we found out after dinner I was charged 100 Ren for the olives and 70 Ren for the nuts. However, we are the in-house guests of the Leeu House, I found this is unfair to the guests. Leeu Estates is such an elegant and prestige estate in the Franschhoek region but this leave a bad taste in my travel experience.

The views from the restaurant is spectacular - From the moment we made a reservation with Reeva-Joy, everything was just perfect - the service from our waiter, Tinashe was excellent - the food and personal service from the chef, left a lasting impression - The duty manager, Abongile was sttentive, yet never intrusive - this restaurant is a must visit, when in Franschhoek - Anastacia at the wine tasting venue, was just so great - will defintely return.

Our experience at Leeu Estates was absolutely delightful! The tranquil atmosphere and serene surroundings created the perfect environment for relaxation. The property boasts amazing gardens, vineyrads and a serene pool. Additionally, the staff were among the nicest we have encountered, always attentive and eager to ensure that every aspect of my stay was enjoyable. The culinary experience at Leeu Estates was outstanding, with amazing fresh food. We appreciated the convenience of the free shuttles to Franschhoek city, which made exploring the area effortless. Overall, Leeu Estates exceeded our expectations in every way, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a tranquil, luxurious, and gastronomic getaway in Franschhoek.
