One of my favorite resort stays of all time. I was expecting an exceptional service due to the price range, and they soared past the bar. Also excellent food and estate grounds. The rooms are just slightly dated- It seemed like the plumbing and electric in the room could use some work, but the room was so comfortable that I didn’t mind much. Will stay here again if I’m back in the area.
Lovely Hotel and Dining BUT.... stayed for my mothers 60th Birthday in January. Lovely Estate and fantastic dining on-site. The booked and pre-paid Spa treatment for my mother could not be completed due to wild fires affecting the area and also our travel. I was promised a full refund by the in-house Spa "Healing earth". It has been 6 months and >30 E-Mails without a full refund. Today I learned that the spa is no longer operational in the hotel. A complete disgrace having to chase my money for months and I feel scammed. A real shame for such a prestige legacy property.
As part of my birthday weekend, I chose to spend a day here, and it was everything I hoped it would be and more. From the moment I drove into the estate, I was completely taken by the beauty of the surroundings. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking and creates an immediate sense of calm, making you feel as though you have stepped into a world far removed from the demands of everyday life. I began my day at the spa, where I was welcomed with such warmth and genuine hospitality. The treatment was exceptional and left me feeling completely restored. There was something incredibly soothing about the entire experience. It felt like a true moment of pause, allowing me to relax, recharge, and simply be present. Afterwards, I spent some time at the pool, taking in the peaceful atmosphere and appreciating the tranquillity that seems to flow through every corner of the estate. It was the perfect continuation of a day dedicated to self-care and reflection. I later enjoyed lunch at The Dining Room, which was another highlight of the experience. The food was absolutely divine, and every dish was beautifully prepared. Paired with the stunning views and the calm, elegant setting, it made for an unforgettable dining experience. The staff were equally wonderful, offering attentive service while making me feel genuinely welcomed and comfortable throughout. What made this visit so special was the way every detail came together so seamlessly. The beauty of the surroundings, the sense of peace, the exceptional treatment, the delicious food, and the heartfelt hospitality created an experience that felt both indulgent and deeply restorative. This was undoubtedly one of the highlights of my birthday weekend and a memory I will treasure. I left feeling refreshed, content, and grateful for such a beautiful experience. Without question, it is a place I look forward to returning to.
I can't think of enough adjectives to describe this hotel. Flawless, intimate, modern, landscaping, serene, quiet. Unbelievable experience. Staff lovely as well. I quiet literally don't think there is a better hotel to stay at in the area....
Leeu Estates is a stunning, sprawling property with exquisite gardens and sculptures. It is so well-kept and has gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains. The cottages and the main house are adorable. Breakfast was delicious, but bar service could have been faster in the evening. All of the staff were nice and accommodating. Our room was comfortable and big, but it was nothing to write home about. In my opinion, the main draw is the property itself. We spent hours just wandering the grounds. We had a lovely time at both La Petite Colombe and Mullineux & Leeu on the property. The complimentary tasting was the best we had while in Franshhoek! We loved how this property was centrally located too. We could Uber anywhere or have the staff take us into town (~5 minute drive). Highly recommend staying at Leeu Estates!
