The Afrikaans word “bokkie” means small buck and is also a term of endearment used by South Africans. The beautifully laid out Bokkie Garden at Leeu Estates features an immaculate vineyard and “Reflective Resonance”, which is a powerful piece in bronze by acclaimed sculptor Angus Taylor, as well as “Homecoming”, cast by sculptor Otto du Plessis featuring Diana, the goddess of the forest and animals, walking with a small herd of springbuck.
Everard Read in partnership with Leeu Collection has created two contemporary spaces in Franschhoek. Both spaces showcase carefully curated artworks by both local and international artists including sculpture gardens for monumental works. Adjacent to Le Quartier Français along the main street, Everard Read Franschhoek is interspersed with fresh herbs and vegetables that cater to some of Leeu Collections’ partnered restaurants. And Everard Read Leeu Estates is located on our flagship property that offers spectacular views of the Valley.
