Leeuwenvoet House is a lovingly restored Cape Victorian home which was built in 1892. The original house offers a fine example of the architecture of the period and has beautiful pressed steel ceilings and oregon pine floors and doors. The site of the guest house marks the original position of the farmhouse of Leeuwenvoet farm. (Leeuwenvoet means “the foot of the Lion” and is pronounced in English approximately as “loo-en-foot”.)
It is situated twelve minutes’ walk from central Cape Town, about five minutes from the Company Botanical Gardens and adjacent to trendy Kloof Street, the fashionable restaurant district of Cape Town. The V&A Waterfront is only a few minutes away.
