Tessa & Stefan van Leeuwen Boomkamp
De Leeuwenhof is a historic site since 1714 and fully restored, offering 16 rooms, two pools and beautiful gardens, situated at the foot of the Drakenstein Mountains in the western Cape. The estate is still producing fruits and wines today.
The Family van Leeuwen Boomkamp moved to South Africa in 2004 from the Netherlands and have since built this into a family business, now the second generation has taken over and run a smooth and family friendly environment. We welcome you to our home, and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
De Leeuwenhof Estate, is surrounded by top notch wine farms a short drive away, plenty of restaurants that are highly rated for excellent quality and ambiance. Hiking in the du Toitskloof mountains or visiting Paarl Rock comes highly rated too.
