Leeu House

Overview

The brand new Leeu House is the latest boutique offering in Franschhoek. With just 12 rooms, each finished in a slightly different way, Leeu House is the epitome of understated luxury. The stylish interiors are a contemporary take on Franschhoek’s Cape Dutch heritage with its strong French influences. 

Leeu House’s special appeal is lies in the fact that it feels like a country guesthouse even though it is situated on the vibrant main street of the village, within easy strolling distance of award-winning restaurants, art galleries, boutiques and many other attractions.
