\"\"Last week was a lucky week of spoiling, which included staying over at Leeu Estates outside Franschhoek, the signature local accommodation property in the Leeu Collection. The variety of local artwork, and top name artists, makes Leeu Estates an art gallery within a hotel! <\/p>\n

I was invited to stay over last Thursday evening by Leeu Collection PR Consultant Nicolette \"\"Waterford, and was spoilt with Suite 6, with a bedroom, its own lounge, a his and hers bathroom, and a dressing room, ultimate luxury and spoiling.  Just less than a year ago I attended the official opening of the property, where I met Leeu Collection founder Mr Analjit Singh. <\/p>\n

I received an enthusiastic welcome at the entrance gate, and was told that my arrival was expected. I was told where to drive, to get to the entrance of the Manor House. My bags were brought to the Suite, and my car parked for me.  Receptionist Clarisha was friendly, and \"\"showed me around the generous-sized suite. She promised to let me have the file with all the artwork in the hotel, and was true to her promise. I could not count the number of paintings and sculptures in the file, but the number is considerable. In the room a fruit platter, a bottle of BAS house sparkling wine, and a platter with macarons and chocolate awaited me, with welcome notes, a nice touch.<\/p>\n

Long-awaited Leeu Estates opens in Franschhoek, love at first sight!<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
