Your Stay

Leeu Collection's hospitality portfolio’s flagship property in the Franschhoek valley, 17-room Leeu Estates encompasses various luxury accommodation options, Leeu Spa & Gym, innovative cuisine at Le chene, Mullineux & Leeu Family Wines, Indaba – an event and meeting venue, an exceptional art collection and immaculately landscaped gardens.

The spacious rooms and suites, which are individually styled and luxuriously appointed, feature bespoke furniture, wool-and-sisal carpets, and textured layers of linen, horsehair, leather, wood and stone in a calm colour palette. The rooms all have underfloor heating. The generous marble-clad en-suite bathrooms have rain showers and heated towel rails as standard.

Attention to detail is key to the unrivalled Leeu Collection experience, where sundowners with a view, fine dining and a romantic turndown set the mood. The clued-up concierge team is always at hand to help you plan the perfect day out and can arrange for professional babysitting services if required. If you’d prefer to cocoon in the comfort of your beautifully appointed room, choose a delicious meal for two from our in-room dining menu or select a movie to watch, complete with popcorn.

What to Do

  • Laidback picnics The beautifully laid out Bokkie Garden with its stunning mountain, valley and vineyard vistas is a serene space where couples can reconnect with nature and one another. It also creates the perfect setting in which to enjoy a leisurely picnic. Relax on a blanket and comfy cushions on the lawn next to the pond, with a picnic basket filled with delicious savoury and sweet treats and a complimentary bottle of chilled white wine – celebrating life and love does not get better than this!

  • Tutored wine tasting The Wine Studio on Leeu Estates offers a truly immersive wine experience. The tasting room is run by the Mullineux & Leeu Family Wines team, whose knowledgeable tasting room staff will guide guests in the finer nuances of these premium handcrafted wines. There are three tutored tasting options to choose from (booking advised): Signature (one complimentary tasting per Leeu Collection guest per stay), Single Terroir and Leeu Passant. In addition to wine tastings, the elegant tasting venue can be reserved for exclusive private functions, catered for by Leeu Estates’ culinary team.

The Food of Love

Private dinner: The founder’s cellar, which is stocked with a collection of premium South African and international vintages, provides an ambient setting for a private dinner, catered for by the talented Le chene culinary team. Carefully chosen artworks and bespoke furniture add to the allure.
