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.

The Dining Room at Leeu Estates’ (a sister Franschhoek property), guests staying at any of our Leeu Collection
properties can look forward to an avant-garde menu as an exclusive in-house dining option, with dishes that are as
authentic as they are innovative. From our gardens to your plate our chefs use the seasons as their inspiration
while preparing dishes that are as full of flavour as they are beautiful, with many of the ingredients coming from
the Leeu Locally Grown initiative.
Whilst at the end of a scenic pathway, La Petite Colombe (sister restaurant to La Colombe in Constantia), offers
a world-class dining experience synonymous with this world-renowned collective.
At Le Quartier Français, the La Colombe team continues to offer memorable dining experiences, starting with
Protégé, a casual fine dining eatery that recognises talented young chefs and provides them with an opportunity to
put themselves on the map. Guided by Scot, the restaurant offers an experience that the residents can call
“home”, the menu is seasonal and highlights fresh and local produce.
At Epice, an array of delectably curated dishes is served in a fine-dining environment. The menu is flavour-packed
and inspired by the team’s global culinary expeditions.
LOUNGE
The Lounge, with views of the garden and oak trees, comfortable seating and a wood-burning fireplace, is where
guests can mingle and relax.
