Leeu Estates is an exclusive five-star boutique hotel with tastefully designed rooms, suites, and cottages; on 100 hectares (247 acres) of vineyards, landscaped gardens, and fynbos (indigenous flora) in the Franschhoek valley. It is the ideal environment for an elegant and sophisticated private hideaway; offering exceptional luxury, fine food, and platinum service; located between the mountainside and river, just minutes from the village of Franschhoek in the Cape Winelands.
The beautifully refurbished 19th-century Manor House; with its six rooms and suites is at the heart of this flourishing wine estate. There are two rooms adjacent to The Manor House; while the rest of the rooms and suites are in spacious cottages among the gardens, oak trees, and vineyards.
An expression of love, the Bokkie Garden is very close to owner Analjit Singh’s heart. The Afrikaans word ‘bokkie’ means small buck; it is also a term of endearment used by South Africans; comparable to ‘beloved’ or ‘sweetheart’. Pivotal to the Franchesca Watson-designed garden with its herd of small buck is ‘Reflective Resonance’ by acclaimed sculptor Angus Taylor. It is a powerful piece in bronze and Belfast granite that has become a Franschhoek landmark.
