Chefs & Villa Services
Suppose you are looking for a magical experience during your villa stay. In that case, we offer personal chefs and in-house villa coordinators to maestro your holiday perfectly.
Personal Chefs
We have built up a strong network of high-quality chefs within the industry who like to work closely with our clients. We believe in using small producers and constantly sourcing the freshest ingredients in the area.
Our network of chefs all obtain strong skills in different cooking levels and cuisines. We place a chef that best suits your food style and dietary preferences. We place chefs on short or long stays. If you want to host a fancy dinner or an elite intimate event, our chefs will create menus best suited for any occasion and create magic in the kitchen.
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.”
“We had the most beautiful time thanks to the beautiful services of leharo .”
“The Elegance & Goth evening was a once in a lifetime experience with so many surprises, amazing food, best service you could imagine and so much love in every detail.Was a pleasure to be part of this evening. Thank you so much! Looking forward to having another experience like that with you”
“The most amazing table decorations. Everyday we had the opportunity to be transported to a different world whilst having dinner.”
“Jeanne and Devin from Leharo create a dynamic partnership. They are tentative to every single detail, and their passionand experience shine through. I can highly recommend their services. Leharo is truly phenomenal.”
“There are no words to describe the hospitality experience Devin and Jeanne from Leharo have created for us in the past year.”
“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.”
“Fantastic high-end service. Amazing wine knowledge and a great understanding for food and wine pairings.”
“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!”
