De Leeuwenhof Estate is a wonderful oasis of tranquility. From the moment you arrive, you feel warmly welcomed - the owners and staff are incredibly friendly and make sure guests have a fantastic stay. The accommodation was spotless, the entire estate is beautifully maintained, and the service is excellent. The pool was clean and inviting, and given the heat during our visit, we truly appreciated the chance to cool off! For those who need to work remotely, the WiFi was stable and fast, and MTN mobile coverage was also reliable, making it easy to get things done. A special mention goes to the exceptional dining experience. Some reviews mention limited choices and pricing, but it’s important to note: the chef prepares meals exclusively for house guests and at a truly high level - the food was absolutely delicious. Many high-end restaurants, including Michelin-starred establishments, also serve set menus. Yes, you can find cheaper options nearby, perhaps even different styles of cuisine, but within this serene and intimate setting and the quality, the price is fully justified. We highly recommend dining here at least once during your stay - it’s well worth it! We’ll certainly be back and can highly recommend this beautiful estate for anyone looking for a relaxing, high-quality stay near Paarl.

The staff were incredibly friendly, kind, helpful and efficient. The Manager, Tessa, was incredibly accommodating and went out of her way to arrange all sorts of extra things that we needed for our stay in the area, including driving us to a wedding, arranging a private dinner for us when we arrived late (even though the restaurant was closed), arranging a hairdresser to come to my room with late notice, upgrading us to the best rooms, arranging a private taxi to and from the airport, amongst other things. I felt like so safe and taken care of. Really exceptional service and care, unlike anything I've experienced before, and I have travelled the world! The food was also outstanding!!

Overall a nice location on the outskirts of Town. Handy for the N1. Nice in house dining option on a lovely stoop terrace. Great for a lazy dinner with no driving involved. Good breakfast and a quite big pool area with beds and shade. Good ac. Limited power during load shedding. Plenty of secure parking. Whole farm is very safe.

Walls are thin and you can hear adjoining rooms noises quite clearly. It’s a working fruit farm and it starts getting noisy from 7 am onwards. The local Rooster starts going at 4.30 am in the summer months. Not a place for a long lie in bed. The in house dining is expensive by SA standards but still ok for European visitors. The food was excellent but a very limited menu.

Great breakfast with everything you could possibly want. Served in a very pleasant indoor dining room / lounge because of the weather. Hot coffee and a very good selection of breads. Loved the heaters in the bedroom which really made it warm on a cold night. The lovely hosts welcomed us from the start and we were able to join them, their friends and family for the SA / NZ rugby match (we won!) It is a very special relaxing 'home from home' place to stay.

I would have liked an electric blanket on the bed but once in the bed it was warm and cosy.

We were blown away by the Hostess, she was incredible, the grounds were divine and clean and the best by far. The room was amazing and the service and food exceptional.

I do believe the shower pressure could be better, the shower could use a little shower basket to hang your goodies on and possibly a supplied cloth and supplied shower cap. these are small things that are not a big issue. This place is the BEST!!!!! WE WILL BE BACK

Cannot recommend enough, this family run place has a wonderful welcoming atmosphere. The meals are delicious, they serve drinks by the pool, the rooms are comfortable and the whole place is beautiful. I was travelling solo and Tessa went out of her way to make sure I was having a good time and had everything I needed. I would love to go back!

The staff was exceptional, they offered help in various situations (Dan, thanks again for that open-air drive to the restaurant!). Everything was clean and in good condition, pool is great as is its bar :) Hundred years old oaks with squirrels and owls added charm.

The only thing - the hotel is located far from anything, Uber is often quite long to wait especially in the evening but you can always call the hotel, they can arrange a drive for you.

Our stay at the Leeuwenhof was such amazing. Tessa is a great host, also Stefan been always nice. Tessa is a warm-hearted host and does her best that u feel even more comfortable! She was doing her best, to make our stay even more cultural and give us a lot of tips. We just spend a night and this was our failure, we had to spend more night. Amazing rooms, good diner, perfect wine and also Mr. D (we cannot pronounce his name) was an amazing host! We felt very lucky to stay there an will be come back Soon.

The family who run this lovely place are truly inspiring and dedicated to providing wonderful service. The place is full of character and charm with excellent facilities. The people who work here care, unlike many larger, chain establishments. The food in the small restaurant is also excellent and recommended.

Only booking one night !
