As one who comes every 2 years to the Cape Town area, and currently staying at Delaire Graff in Stellenbosch, we came to Frranschoek to walk around. As we were walking, we saw the bronzes of Ghandi and Mandela in front of the hotel. We opened the gate to get a picture, but to also inquire about seeing the hotel as a possibility for a future stay. We were rudely approached and told it was for residents only, and we couldn’t come in.
While Mr Singh doesn’t need my money, there is no way he will ever have a chance to get any of it in the future.
When I was in business before retirement, we thought our sales people to treat any potential customer, no matter how they looked or dressed, as if they had a million dollars of cash in their pockets. Many unsuspected sales were made because the potential customer was treated like we were when we walked thru the gate by others.

Leeu house ticks all the boxes.
You can see the owner/managers obsession with form and cleanliness.
The gardens are pristine, the facilities well maintained and the rooms are spotless.
I love attention to detail and this place is a perfect example of how a boutique hotel should be run.
The staff are friendly and welcoming and the breakfast is simple but tasty and sufficient.

The bigger Leeu Estate up the road is bigger because it’s on a wine estate but Leeu House is perfect if you are staying in Franschoek for two days and want to be close to the town. Walking distance to everything.
Highly recommended.

Second time in Franschhoek and wanted to try something in town close to the action.

Location is really good if you want to walk around and not have to drive or take shuttles.

Service was very friendly and good if a bit unpolished. Food for breakfast and dinner were great.

Rooms are all nice and vary depending on category. The suite by the pool is very nice and gets lots of light. Smaller rooms don't have views but still get plenty of light.

Overall we thought it was good value and definitely recommend.
