Leeu House, Franschhoek, Winelands, South Africa
Equally as exclusive as its sister property, Leeu Estates, this family-friendly 13-room boutique hotel is an oasis of tranquility and comfort.
While
it’s situated on the main street of Franschhoek Village, Leeu House still
manages to exude a divine country guesthouse ambience. Perfectly located within
easy strolling distance of Franschhoek’s award-winning restaurants, art
galleries boutiques and other delightful attractions, its stylish interiors are
a contemporary take on Franschhoek’s Cape Dutch heritage with strong French
influences, and there’s a blissful garden with swimming pool and shaded terrace
that’s perfect for chilling out on a warm summer’s day.
Innovative
dining is of course the order of the day, with leisurely meals and fine South
African vintages from the cellar served in The Conservatory or alfresco on the
terrace. And be sure to visit Heritage Square, also part of The Leeu Collection,
home to Marigold – Franschhoek’s first classical Indian restaurant; Haiku, with
its modern Asian tapas-style fare; and Madira, a trendy hotspot that’s popular
with both locals and out-of-towners.
