Paarl, Western Cape , South Africa

Welcome to De Leeuwenhof Estate, Paarl, South Africa – a property for the discerning investor.

Step into a realm of refined luxury and timeless charm at this enchanting estate-turned-boutique hotel. Set in the picturesque Paarl Valley, this hidden gem invites you to experience a lifestyle of sophistication and leisure.

This historic 11.3-hectare farm dates back to the late 1600s and is among Paarl's original properties. Over three centuries old, the estate has evolved into a luxury boutique hotel and working farm. When the current owner first visited from the Netherlands in 2003, he knew instinctively this would be his family's new home. Within a year, the hotel opened its doors, and after 20 years, it has earned a place in Tripadvisor's top 10% of hotels worldwide for 2023/2024.

The estate offers five unique styles of accommodations, each designed for comfort and elegance in a serene garden setting. Shaded by ancient oak trees and alive with birdlife, the semi-detached cottages and lavish suites provide understated luxury, creating a peaceful retreat surrounded by natural beauty.

The estate offers an array of dining experiences, with a fully operational restaurant and bar serving in-house guests, events, and private functions. The historic Manor House, featuring an iconic Cape Dutch gable dating to 1714, includes a honeymoon suite and two apartments in the west wing, while the east wing hosts the owner's private residence. The hotel's annexes encircle the estate, with a striking central pool and barbecue area where guests can unwind and enjoy all the estate offers.

The hotel business supports the estate's income as a working guava farm. Advanced security measures provide peace of mind while the farm's rich fauna and flora blend naturally into the scenic environment.

Beyond the estate's tranquil ambiance lies the vibrant Paarl and Cape Winelands region, offering endless possibilities for exploration and adventure. Whether you envision cultivating vineyards, hosting exclusive events, or simply enjoying the estate's beauty, this property offers a lifestyle rich with opportunity.
