What the reviews say

Women keep returning for the staff, named individually in review after review: Marius, Honest, Bradley, Jason. The beds run firm, and the spa is a ten-minute drive rather than on-site.

  • The staff by name, with specific shoutouts to Jason, Marius, Honest, and Bradley for going above and beyond throughout stays.
  • One reviewer noted the property was covered in the scent of jasmine during her October visit, describing it as a personal highlight of the stay.
  • A reviewer flagged that the beds are on the firmer side, noting it was fine for her but worth knowing for guests who prefer softer mattresses.
  • One woman highly recommended the affiliated spa, describing the massage as one of the best she had ever had, though noted it requires a short drive of about ten minutes from the hotel.
  • A complimentary wine tasting at the hotel's wine cellar, reachable in around five minutes by car, as a standout included perk.
  • The hotel sits at the quieter end of Franschhoek's main road, with restaurants and shops walkable from the property.
  • The garden and pool area are well maintained and described by multiple reviewers as a genuinely tranquil spot for an afternoon.
  • Rooms are spacious and well decorated, but the beds lean firm, which some guests may want to account for.
  • Mosquitoes were present even on cooler days in October, so guests visiting in that season should come prepared.
  • Cocktails at the front of the hotel in the evening was highlighted as a pleasant spot to unwind and watch town life pass by.

Where it is

12 Huguenot St, Franschhoek, 7690, South Africa

Leeu House sits in the heart of Franschhoek, with the town's main restaurant and wine strip walkable from the front door. The position toward the end of the strip keeps the property noticeably quiet despite being central.
