A fabulous place. The service is impeccable, the property immaculate and the rooms are luxurious. We loved the staff - nothing is too much for them. The breakfast in the morning is delicious, made to order. A short walk to restaurants, shops and the wine train (a must). Cannot say enough good things about this place! Pictures don’t do it justice. Nestled in the mountains with beautiful views abound.

One of the best luxury hotels I’ve ever stayed in
We fell in love with Leeu House. The staff were so friendly and so helpful - preempting our needs before we even asked. Going above and beyond to help us with reservations (including a last minute request to help us find somewhere to watch the sunset!). The grounds are absolutely beautiful, as are the rooms. Feels like a little sanctuary but still walking distance from all the best restaurants, galleries and the wine tram. Highly highly recommend. Only thing is we wish the pool was heated!

Beautiful property and amazing staff.
Absolutely gorgeous property! I stayed here with a couple of friends and it was amazing. The location is perfect, you are able to walk about the town, and visit wonderful restaurants, shops and galleries. The rooms are super clean and spacious. But the staff were the highlight of the stay...they could not have been more helpful and pleasant! They went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and ensure we had everything we needed to have the best visit possible. I highly recommend the Leeu House. You won't regret it!

Great hospitality and amazing property
The staff there is extremely attentive and will take care of every need. We were looking to book the Leeu Estates but it was sold out. None the less The Leeu house did not disappoint. Service was on point and a special shout out to Roxane who made sure we made all reservations for dinner and all wine trails as soon as we got in. We were on our honeymoon and had a bottle of wine waiting for us in the room and they also organised a wine tasting at the Leeu estates on the house. The room was really clean as well. Highly recommended and Im sure to visit again when we are in the area!

The Leeu house was an experience to remember. Extremely helpful and hospitable staff, beautiful rooms, and thoughtful touches like wine in the room, tasty breakfast (cold or hot) and a “honesty bar” in the evenings. Centrally located as well. Highly recommend!
