SOUTH AFRICA CAPE WINELANDS SPLENDOUR 128


Leeu Estates, Leeu Collection’s flagship property, sits just outside Franschhoek in South Africa’s Cape Winelands. It’s an exclusive five-star boutique hotel, with 23 luxuriously- appointed room, suites and cottages. It is set amid 68 acres of vineyards, landscaped gardens and indigenous vegetation, with panoramic views of the Franschhoek valley that provide an idyllic setting for an elegant and sophisticated private hideaway.


It all started as a personal journey for the founder Analjit Singh (aka BAS), an international investor of Indian origin, who was captivated by the Western Cape’s exceptional beauty and vibrant energy during a trip to South Africa for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. BAS decided to buy a family home in the Franschhoek valley, but this soon transformed into what it is today – three historic neighbouring farms merged together to create Leeu Estates, a world-class hospitality and wine-making destination.


At the centre of Leeu Estates is the meticulously refurbished 19th-century Manor House offering superb comfort, fine dining and platinum service.


One of the hotel’s highlights is the Leeu Spa by Healing Earth, a wellness sanctuary offering holistic treatments, as well as a 15-metre heated infinity swimming pool overlooking the vineyards and a spacious gym offering framed views of the majestic mountains.


There’s also delicious and innovative cuisine thanks to a partnership with two of South Africa’s best chefs. Multiple award-winning chef Darren Badenhorst manages the food and beverage offering at Leeu Estates, including the Manor House restaurant called Le Chêne that serves French-inspired dishes made from local produce.


Meanwhile Scott Kirton and his team have launched La Petite Colombe (sister restaurant to the world-famous La Colombe in Constantia) in a stand-alone space on Leeu Estates that is set amid beautiful gardens, with glorious river and mountain views.

Alongside La Petite Colombe stands the new Everard Read Gallery showcasing the best of South African sculpture, while elsewhere within the estate’s boundary The Wine Studio offers guests handcrafted premium wines from the award-winning Mullineux and Leeu Family Wines.


Leeu Estates has recently launched a ‘Living the Leeu Life’ package that will allow guests to enjoy every aspect of this wonderful retreat. Guests will be whisked away from Cape Town International Airport by private helicopter, landing at one of the Estates’ two new helipads, before checking into the largest accommodation in the hotel, the 419m² Max House, an original gabled Cape Dutch building, with its own courtyard and gardens, as well as a private butler.


Each day will reveal a personalised indulgence: tailor-made spa treatments in the private Pomegranate Cottage treatment room, a signature Mullineux & Leeu Family Wines tasting surrounded by barrels in the personal cellar of its founder and a private tour of the brand new Everard Read Monumental Gallery. Every evening of this three-night package, dinner will be a culinary sensation: a tasting menu with paired wines at each of the following: La Petite Colombe, Le chêne and a super romantic private table under the stars in the hotel’s Bokkie Garden. A car and driver will be on stand-by to show guests the sights of Franschhoek and the beautiful Cape Winelands before being whisked back by private helicopter to Cape Town for their flight home. Prices start from approx. £8,600 per person.
