Imaginatively designed with bespoke furniture, a soothing palette of natural tones and hues, and a textured layer of sumptuous fabrics and linens, each of the rooms have been finished with a luxurious style and individuality. Careful details, such as underfloor heating and heated towel rails, have been thoughtfully added for extra comfort.

Take afternoon tea in the light and airy conservatory, where savoury and sweet treats can be enjoyed with a taste of Leeu Estate’s own tea assortment. The Wine Studio is where you will experience some of the finest wines from the region and beyond, in the comfort of the intimate and relaxing tasting room.

Everything you need to know before planning your dream trip
When to travel
November to February is the busiest time, but March to April and
September to October are popular. Whale watchers should visit July to
October, whilst May to October is a good time for safaris – it can get
cold on game drives so pack a fleece.
How to get there
Your holiday will begin with a British Airways or Virgin Atlantic
flight from Heathrow to Johannesburg, or British Airways to Cape
Town – the average flying time about 11 hours, although as there is
only a 1 hour time difference there’s no tedious jet lag
