Leeu House
Found in the heart of the picturesque village of Franschhoek, Leeu House is surrounded by rich history, award-winning eateries and possesses charming Cape Dutch styling. The property is small and intimate with only 12 en-suite rooms on offer, it combines the tranquil feel of a country guesthouse with vibrant village life. The comfortable lounge area provides a welcoming fireplace in winter and the pool is the perfect foil to warm summer days. Guests can enjoy leisurely meals in The Conservatory Restaurant or al fresco on the terrace.
Individually-styled bedrooms feature superbly comfortable beds with high-quality linen and are fitted with sisal carpets, and curtains and upholstery in natural linens, contributing to the relaxed yet sophisticated feel.
