Leeu House

Boutique
Cape Winelands, South Africa

Situated within strolling distance of the restaurants, art galleries and shops, Leeu House is at the heart of quiet Franschhoek.

Facing the street with its striking Cape Dutch-style façade, this beautiful property is conveniently located, yet wonderfully secluded behind its whitewashed walls. Leeu House is home to 12 individually styled rooms, half of which have adjoining terraces. Natural fabrics blend well with the neutral colours and clean lines of this expertly appointed house. Pieces of artwork brighten the minimalist interior, whilst the furniture is largely locally produced, with some pieces by the renowned Pierre Cronje.

Why we like Leeu House

Leeu House’s beautiful restaurant, The Conservatory, is renowned for its range of innovative dishes, showcasing organic and locally produced ingredients. Dine inside The Conservatory or outside on the terrace. Alternatively, the nearby Tuk Tuk Microbrewery is also part of the Leeu Collection. A more relaxed set up that is perfect for families and couples alike, this vibrant eatery offers a range of Mexican-style dishes in a relaxed brewery setting.

Activities

Visit the Great Heart Wines Boutique for an intimate and personalised wine tasting experience, or reset and relax with an immersive wellness experience set among the vineyards.

Sustainability

Leeu House is partnered with Ladles of Love, a charity who supports community kitchens, schools and social enterprises and creates food security to those in need by providing nutritious meals.
