Possibly the best place we’ve ever stayed. The room, though very luxurious, wasn’t the biggest we’ve ever had, but the hotel itself and the staff are all phenomenal. We arrived late, literally 2 minutes before we had a dinner reservation around the corner. The hotel expedited our check in, and called the restaurant to hold our table. After we freshened up the security even walked us to the restaurant! The staff all went above and beyond at every opportunity. The breakfast was delicious, the pool beautiful. The location is spot on for exploring Franschhoek. Would love to return and would recommend highly.

A beautiful property centrally located in downtown area. We loved the accessibility to explore the town of Franschhoek. The staff was wonderful, the breakfast and drinks were great and it was so helpful to have transportation so easily arranged by the property if we needed to get elsewhere. The rooms are fairly large, beautiful furnishings with a light and airy feeling. The pool area was really nicely maintained and beautiful - we enjoyed a nice afternoon nap out by it. We were really pleased with our stay and would highly recommend this property.

Leeu House is a special boutique tucked on the main ***** of Franschhoek. While the rooms are rather small and on the dark side, the linens are luscious, the service is stellar, the food is concise and delicious, and the outdoor space is gorgeous. Make sure to get a cortado from Gift! He made the best coffee and foam art we had while in South Africa.

Beautiful hotel in beautiful city with great wine and food. Even more amazing service at the hotel highlighted by Gift Gurure, our server and overall 'make this the best stay you've ever had' ambassador. From food and drinks at the pool, to early breakfast, to late cocktails, Gif was always there for us. We couldn't figure out when he sleeps, but we're indebted to his amazing service!

This very cosy hotel has 14 rooms. Its location is excellent: right in the middle of the town of Franschhoek, surrounded by art galleries, shops, fine restaurants and cafes. The staff are amiable and efficient, room is clean with a lovely garden. The breakfast is excellent and has a view of the mountain.

Two nights in Franschhoek at this lovely boutique hotel.Greeted by Roger and well served by Honest. Lovely room 9 and as out of season we were transported to Leeu Estates for dinner which was excellent. Breakfast at Leeu House was tip top and staff service standards were beyond reproach. To have staff stand up from their desk and remain standing when you approach with a question is from a bygone age but it certainly makes the guest feel special. Would revisit in a heartbeat.

As one who comes every 2 years to the Cape Town area, and currently staying at Delaire Graff in Stellenbosch, we came to Frranschoek to walk around. As we were walking, we saw the bronzes of Ghandi and Mandela in front of the hotel. We opened the gate to get a picture, but to also inquire about seeing the hotel as a possibility for a future stay. We were rudely approached and told it was for residents only, and we couldn’t come in. While Mr Singh doesn’t need my money, there is no way he will ever have a chance to get any of it in the future. When I was in business before retirement, we thought our sales people to treat any potential customer, no matter how they looked or dressed, as if they had a million dollars of cash in their pockets. Many unsuspected sales were made because the potential customer was treated like we were when we walked thru the gate by others.

Leeu house ticks all the boxes. You can see the owner/managers obsession with form and cleanliness. The gardens are pristine, the facilities well maintained and the rooms are spotless. I love attention to detail and this place is a perfect example of how a boutique hotel should be run. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the breakfast is simple but tasty and sufficient. The bigger Leeu Estate up the road is bigger because it’s on a wine estate but Leeu House is perfect if you are staying in Franschoek for two days and want to be close to the town. Walking distance to everything. Highly recommended.

We fell in love with Leeu House. The staff were so friendly and so helpful - preempting our needs before we even asked. Going above and beyond to help us with reservations (including a last minute request to help us find somewhere to watch the sunset!). The grounds are absolutely beautiful, as are the rooms. Feels like a little sanctuary but still walking distance from all the best restaurants, galleries and the wine tram. Highly highly recommend. Only thing is we wish the pool was heated!
