Fantastic place to be. Had a nice big room in the barn. Quiet surroundings. Paarl is not the place to be, but the Leeuwenhof guesthouse really is. Daan, Yvonne and Steven has a natural way of approaching their guests and knowing their needs. They arranged a wine tasting at 2 exclusive wineries, did a tasting themselves together with a braai...

My wife and I stayed for a weekend in this charming B&B amidst the guave trees, less than an hour away from Cape Town. Perfectly peaceful and quiet, we were warmly welcomed by owner Daan who was very helpful in getting us to the surrounding wine farms of our liking and getting us a table at a nearby top restaurant....

This place is perfect. The welcome is warm and the price is reasonable. We were referred here by our other favourite place in Swellendam based on the good things they have heard about Leeuwenhof and we are so glad we stayed. Paarl does get hot though...

Having read great reviews we decided to spend a weekend in Paarl using De Leeuwenhof Guesthouse as a base to sample local restaurants. We were not disappointed, from the warmth of the welcome,to the well appointed room and the great hospitality it was a pity we had just booked one night. The setting is superb and is within easy driving... More

I could not believe this place. We had a luxury apartment, which was really reasonably priced. The bed was so comfortable and beautiful, there was air conditioning both upstairs and down (necessary when it's 42degC!) and the bathroom and downstairs kitchen and dining room in our apartment were also lovely. There is a pool that is shared just with the... More

Of the many places, I have stayed in Paarl area, the De Leeuwenhof Estate is without doubt, the best! The hospitallity is without comparison, surroundings are superb, and the accomodation is fantastic. I used the De Leeuwenhof as base for my visits, but also had meetings on the estate. Everything was perfect. Daan, Yvonne and Stephan are the perfect hosts,... More

De Leeuwenhof was a major highlight of our 3 week tour of SA. Daan was an incredible host. Our first evening touring the guava grove, tasting wine, and sharing game roasted over an open fire was incredible. Friendly staff. Daan gave great restaurant and winery recommendations. It was a great stay.

Sadly we only stayed one night at De Leeuwenhof Guesthouse. The rooms were spacious, well designed, clean and comfortable. The Guesthouse itself is a very pretty dutch cape farm with a most impressive entrance. Due to the fact we were only there one night, we did not try the pool which was lovely. Breakfast was delicious, and our hosts were... More
