Leeu House

Set at 12 Huguenot Road in the heart of Franschhoek, the hotel places guests steps from boutiques, galleries and lauded restaurants. The Cape Dutch façade opens to leafy gardens and a calm pool courtyard, while the mountains frame the valley beyond. Complimentary shuttles link to Leeu Estates in about five minutes for spa therapies, gym time and expansive vineyard vistas. It’s a polished village base that keeps the Winelands’ highlights—cellar doors, art and nature—within effortless reach.

Accommodation is deliberately intimate: 12 thoughtfully appointed rooms and one suite, styled in contemporary calm with Cape Dutch cues. Expect en-suite bathrooms with separate bath and shower, climate control, premium bedding, complimentary Wi-Fi and curated minibars. Many rooms open to garden or courtyard spaces that invite slow mornings and golden-hour pauses. With adults-only serenity and attentive service, stays feel unhurried and refined—ideal for food- and wine-focused escapes.

Dining centers on The Conservatory, reserved for resident guests and served throughout the day, with seasonal menus that spotlight local produce. Between tastings, unwind by the garden pool or stroll to nearby boutiques. For wellness, a complimentary shuttle carries guests to sister property Leeu Estates for spa treatments and gym facilities (off-site). Village tastings include the intimate Great Heart Wine Boutique, while concierge assistance eases Wine Tram planning and dinner reservations.
