we had travelled to other areas before arriving and this was very different highlight of the trip
Pros:

Breakfast was great, from the staff to the food and environment. The wine tasting is an excellent start to our trip and the wine advisor was interesting to listen to and helpful with our purchase.
the room is large , I would suggest a cafetiere in the room would be brilliant although we managed with out.
wea re already planning a return trip.

Cons:

I have nothing that I did not like

Luxeriös und behaglich
Pros:

Man wird äußerst zuvorkommend begrüßt und umsorgt. Alles ist pickosauber und gemütlich.
Und due Terasse und am Pool sitzt man wunderbar im Grünen.
Das Hitel ist mitten im Ort.

Cons:

Wir hatten Zimmer Nr 7. viele große Milchglasfenster, weil aufgrund des Eckzimmers stehen direkt Hecken oder die Nachbarmauer vor den Fenstern. Also nix mit rausgucken.

Pros:

The property is excellent and well maintained throughout. The staff cannot be nicer and were a joy to be around. Heated floors in the bathroom are just one of the smaller fine touches. Small but enough selection for breakfast.

A peaceful and beautiful hotel on Franschoek main street
Pros:

Wonderful people in a beautiful setting. We stayed at Leeu House at the end of a 2 week trip around SA and Zimbabwe and were not dissapointed. Reserved sunbeds at the pool on arrival and a glass of Cap Classique set the tone. A superb room with wine and very comfortable bed left us very relaxed and ready for the Wine Tram the next day. Franschook is special. They even provided a packed breakfast and fresh hot coffee for our early departure to the airport.

Perfect stay
Pros:

“Our stay at Leeu House this week was absolutely perfect. Every staff member went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, but a special mention goes to Honest, Sabrina, and Reuben for their exceptional service. Mauris was incredibly hospitable, ensuring we were well taken care of throughout our stay and assisting with any arrangements we needed. Their warmth and attention to detail truly made our experience unforgettable. Highly recommend Leeu House for an outstanding stay!”

Truly Wonderful!
Pros:

We really couldn’t fault anything at this beautiful boutique hotel and the service was outstanding.
I realised on the second day of our visit that I had misplaced some jewellery and may have left it in our hotel in Cape Town. I asked Sabrina on reception if she would be able to help by calling our previous hotel to see if it had been found (feeling really doubtful). We then went out for the day. Mid afternoon we received a text message from Sabrina to say the jewellery pouch had been found and that she’d arranged for one of their local drivers to pick it up! I had my jewellery before I went to dinner that evening!!
When we left Marius who dealt with the valet parking loaded our luggage into out gleaming hire car, he’d very thoughtfully washed it that morning as it had been extremely dirty when we’d arrived direct from a safari!!
Service like this is truly exceptional!
