HOTEL OVERVIEW
Leeu Estates, an exclusive five-star premium boutique hotel property with 24 luxuriously appointed rooms and
suites, takes a central position on 78 hectares (193 acres) of vineyards, landscaped gardens and fynbos
(indigenous vegetation) in the Franschhoek valley. Located between the mountainside and river, just minutes
away from the village of Franschhoek, it is the ideal setting for an elegant and sophisticated private hideaway,
offering superb comfort, fine dining and platinum service. At the centre of this working wine farm is the
meticulously refurbished 19th-century Manor House with its six rooms and suites. There are two rooms
adjacent to The Manor House, and the remaining rooms and suites are located in spacious cottages among the
gardens, oak trees and vineyards.
An expression of love, the bokkie Garden is very close to founder Analjit Singh’s heart. The Afrikaans word
“bokkie” means small buck but is also a term of endearment used by South Africans, comparable to “beloved” or
“sweetheart”. Pivotal to the garden, a meditative and serene space where guests can reconnect with nature and
one another, is ‘Reflective Resonance’ by acclaimed sculptor Angus Taylor. It is a powerful piece of bronze and
Belfast granite that has become a Franschhoek landmark.

CLIMATE
Franschhoek enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate characterised by warm summers (average temperatures range
from 15°C to 30°C/60°F to 85°F) and cool winters with some rainfall (average temperatures range from 8°C to
19°C/48°F to 66°F). It is the perfect destination for ‘swallows’, as summer falls during the northern hemisphere’s
winter. WHAT TO PACK Layering is the way to go as weather can turn from warm during the day to cold at
night in both summer and winter. Summer: A swimsuit is essential, along with a sun hat, sunscreen, sunglasses and
cool, light clothing. Light jackets or sweaters are recommended for the evenings. Winter: Daytime clothing can be
lighter, but evenings require woollens.
FRANSCHHOEK
The breathtakingly beautiful Franschhoek Valley is renowned as one of the world’s great food and wine
destinations. Settled by the French Huguenots in 1688, it has retained its Gallic charm and character. At the heart
of the valley is the romantic village of Franschhoek. Within easy driving distance from Franschhoek, one can enjoy
the pristine beaches of the Cape, play a round of golf or experience some of the best land-based whale watching
in Hermanus.
ACCOMMODATION
There are 24 contemporary classic, individually styled rooms and suites filled with customised architectural
detailing and tactile textures in a calm colour scheme. Each one features carefully curated artworks and
sculptures from various countries, luxurious extras and superbly equipped marble bathrooms. Many have their
own terraces and fireplaces, and all enjoy idyllic vineyard and mountain views.
The rooms are all within walking distance to The Dining Room, La Petite Colombe, Mullineux & Leeu Family
Wines Wine Studio, Leeu Spa by Healing Earth and Everard Read – Leeu Estates. And guests have access to
