Leeu House
Winelands

A new 12-room boutique hotel, Leeu House is set in the heart of Franschoek village deep in the Cape winelands. Owner Anjalit Singh has drawn upon the best of classic Cape Dutch architecture to create this impeccably decorated property - even buying the building opposite to secure the view. The interiors are an intriguing mix of French-influenced design in a soothing palette with striking works of art. For the best mountain views, plump for one of the top floor guestrooms. Each is beautifully appointed including underfloor heating in the bathroom, Nespresso coffee machine and complimentary mini-bar. The 15-metre pool and relaxing spa are both recommended.

The guest-only hotel restaurant Conservatory offers superb dining options with seasonal produce and individual tastes are well catered for. Do also visit the renowned Foliage restaurant across the road for a memorable meal.

Franschoek’s pretty high street is perfect for strolling through, look out for the Huguenot Monument, and the renowned wine trams are a convivial option for a day’s sightseeing.

I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.

Difficult to articulate just how good the service from you and your team really was. We know you will continue to do well and hope we have the chance to seek your assistance again before long.

I thought the Ampersand team was outstanding. We couldn’t have hoped for anything more.
- Mr Geoffrey Johnson, India
Everything you did for us whilst we were away was hugely appreciated, and Ampersand has been exemplary in every way. I'll always recommend you!
- Mr Richard Stoughton, Sri Lanka
Ampersand’s details preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet/direct booking age. Shalmali was a delight to work with – before and during our trip.
- Mr David Wallace, North India
Without question, you put together the best trip I have ever taken. We were shown around like visiting dignitaries, the hotels were fantastic and the itinerary was just right. Everybody I know will hear about how amazing Ampersand is!
- Leslie Siben, India
We had a wonderful holiday - everything was perfect. Thank you for helping us to make a thoughtful plan to enjoy and make most out of our trip. The places we visited, the guides, the transportation and driver, the hotels selected... Everything was great!
- Jaime Benitez, South India
So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!
- Krista Weir, Sri Lanka
