Villa Butler

Every villa is best experienced with a butler on hand to assist guests with any technical issues, laundry needs, or general enquiries they may have.

A butler ensures that fires are lit and maintained when needed and that the villa’s social areas are always prepared for use. They cater to guests’ expectations, whether packing the car for a day trip or unpacking and cleaning windsurfing equipment. Our villa butler also serves as Head of Housekeeping, working under the guidance of the chef and in-house villa coordinator.

In-House Villa Coordinator

Our network of in-house villa coordinators, known as “bougie” butlers, oversee both the villa and its butlers. Think of them as the equivalent of a yacht stewardess—only in your private villa.

This service covers everything from organising daily activities, booking massages and restaurant reservations, serving your preferred beverages, setting the table, and delivering restaurant-style table service. Acting as the key communication link between clients and housekeeping, they ensure expectations are met seamlessly. Think silver service, but with a modern, less traditional approach.

Their expertise extends beyond villa management. Whether orchestrating an exclusive intimate event or providing a refined, high-quality service for a private dinner, our coordinators tailor the experience to your needs.

“We’ve just spent three weeks with Leharo’s very own Chef Devin and can honestly say we never got bored of a single meal — he’s a fabulous chef and every menu felt fresh, thoughtful, and delicious. Jeanne is equally wonderful, and her eye for aesthetics shone through everything: beautifully set tables, warm touches throughout the home, and even the Christmas tree decorations. We rented a Villa through them, and the pre-check-in support was superb and truly “360” — from arranging a child minder for our son, to a massage for my wife, to sourcing a treadmill for my workouts, no request felt too big. We love Leharo’s holistic approach, have now stayed for our third winter, Cape Town summer, and can’t wait to return.”

“The perfect team for an exquisite holiday. Devin, Jeanne and their team took exceptional care of us during our three months stay in Hout Bay. Devin made all our wishes come true during Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Due to his natural talent of creating new recipes we always had a variety to choose from. Devin’s dishes were only topped by Jeanne’s attentive and thoughtful service. She basically read my mind before I even knew what I wanted. Still dreaming of the freshly made warm and crispy cheese sandwich and the ice cold matcha latte in the morning.”

“The service of Leháro is outstanding. The style of the chef’s cuisine is very creative, healthy, adaptive to individual needs, and simply delicious – you can tell that he was learning in the best restaurants of Cape Town. But what makes the overall experience so special was the accompanied attentive, friendly, and warm service and the great wines that was selected to make ever dinner perfect. Great power team, 100% recommendation!”
