About the Hotel

A 17-room country house retreat and boutique winery in the Franschhoek valley, Leeu Estates rests on acres of vineyards, magnificent mountain vistas and a garden that transforms the act of wandering into a mystical experience. Careful attention to detail is prevalent throughout the property. The individually styled bedrooms feature superbly comfortable beds with high quality linens, and are decorated with sisal carpets, soft curtains and natural upholstery that contributes to the relaxed yet sophisticated feel. The generous marble-clad en-suite bathrooms have double vanities, rain showers, heated towel rails and underfloor heating as standard. The Dining Room with its airy and spacious conservatory encourages long, leisurely meals savored with a fine South African vintage from the cellar.

Reviews for Leeu Estates

Gorgeous Property and Fantastic Staff

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

We cannot say enough good things about this property. It is absolutely spectacular. The staff is top notch. Specifically, Zim and Marcus went above and beyond to make our stay special. They arranged for an anniversary celebration for us, which was terrific. The breakfast is very good, and offers a lot of choices. We will return!

Average meal

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

I enjoyed my wine tasting at Leeu but was a bit disappointed by lunch - they committed the cardinal sin, and served a totally flavourless curry! It was so dull I left half of it unfinished. The hotel and grounds look quite nice, but for a lunch stop I can't really recommend it.

Great hotel

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 months ago

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.

Paradise

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 months ago

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 peaceful place

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 months ago

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.
