It was originally meant to be a South African hideaway for Analjit Singh. But yesterday the Indian billionaire unveiled one of the country's swankiest hotels, complete with health spa, winery, conference facility, and even a "bokkie" garden that will be stocked with wild game.The 68ha Leeu Estates, just outside Franschhoek in the Cape, is next door to Richard Branson's Mont Rochelle estate.The estates' first guests arrive tomorrow , marking the end of a whirlwind three-year investment splurge that included several other acquisitions. Singh now owns three Franschhoek hotels, five restaurants, a spa, a gym, a micro-brewery, a wine studio and a gallery - encompassing two entire blocks on Franschhoek's prime stretch of main road real estate.But the pièce de résistance is the 17-room country house manor.Singh, speaking at the hotel's media launch yesterday, said: "It's a huge milestone - it feels like a major exam is over." The businessman from Delhi made his fortune in healthcare."For me to be so far away from my mainstream and then have something of this level of excellence is a one-of-a-kind feeling," he told The Times.Leeu Estates is situated on a working wine farm, one of three that Singh added to his property portfolio called the Leeu Collection. The hotel also boasts several eye-catching artworks, including giant outdoor sculptures visible from the main road.Singh, who visited South Africa for the first time during the Soccer World Cup in 2010, also commissioned a statue of Nelson Mandela installed outside a luxury guest house in the centre of Franschhoek.Leeu Collection managing director Hector de Galard, who has opened several luxury resorts around the world, sees Leeu Estates as "the cherry on the cake".He said: "It feels like mission accomplished."From the beginning this was supposed to be his personal home, and today he still considers it to be his home."The only glitch in Singh's Franschhoek love affair is his much-loved bokkie garden - a pet project he hopes will one day include large game. Sadly, the first two animals were eaten by a rooikat.The resident landscaper said Singh might also have to give up the idea of larger antelope, which would quickly eat his garden...
