What awaits you this Season 24/25
As the new season approaches, we at De Leeuwenhof Estate are thrilled to invite you to experience all the warmth and charm that make our estate a special retreat. Here’s a glimpse of what you can expect when you visit us:
A Warm Welcome
From the moment you arrive at De Leeuwenhof Estate, you’ll be greeted personally by a member of our family. We believe that a warm, friendly welcome sets the tone for a memorable stay, and we’re dedicated to ensuring you feel at home from the outset.
Explore and Settle In
After settling into your beautifully updated room, which features new tiled patios and a fresh Cape Dutch aesthetic, you’ll be given a tour of our estate. We’ll show you around the grounds, introduce you to the breakfast and dining areas, and point out some of our favorite spots. Take a leisurely stroll to the swimming pool, where you can unwind and soak up the tranquil atmosphere.
Meet Our Animal Friends
Our estate is home to a pony and a donkey, both of whom love a friendly visit. Feel free to offer them a carrot and enjoy their gentle company. They’re always excited to meet new friends, especially the little ones!
Personalized Care
At De Leeuwenhof Estate, we strive to cater to your every need. If you’d like us to book transportation to a nearby wine estate, just let us know—we’re happy to arrange it for you. Prefer to stay on-site and relax by the pool? Absolutely! We also offer dining options exclusively for our in-house guests. While our small restaurant may occasionally be closed for one evening, rest assured that we will make alternative arrangements to ensure you’re well-catered for.
A Home Away from Home
We want De Leeuwenhof Estate to feel like your home during your stay. Children are encouraged to explore and play freely. They can search for eggs in the chicken coop for their morning breakfast, pick flowers, and chat with our friendly staff. For parents looking for a bit of respite, we offer engaging activities for the kids and babysitting services, so you can enjoy a child-free afternoon of wine tasting or relaxation.
Explore the Surroundings
Our estate is perfectly situated for exploring the best of the region. Just off the N1, you’ll find wine estates within easy reach, with Franschhoek only a 20-minute drive away and Stellenbosch about 30 minutes away. Don’t miss the scenic beauty of the Du Toitskloof Pass and Bainskloof Pass—both are must-do drives that showcase the stunning landscapes of our area.
At De Leeuwenhof Estate, we’re excited to make your stay unforgettable. From personalized service to the serene surroundings, we look forward to welcoming you and helping you create wonderful memories.
