La Petite Ferme

“So good that you’ll never want to leave.”

Everyone should get the chance to stay here at least once; with so many excellent vineyards within a five‑mile stretch, picking a spot is hard. La Petite Ferme deserves more than a brief visit—its views are stunning, the food is star‑quality, and the entire stay was flawless from start to finish. Special thanks to Johan for his hospitality and local knowledge; every recommendation he offered was a hit and he served as an unofficial tour guide. Thank you to everyone for making our visit so memorable; we’ll return, and our shelves will forever hold your wine. The only downside was that we had to leave—nothing else to add.

“I truly loved every aspect of this stay—a huge thank you to the team!!!”

I should start by saying that I’m not your typical luxury traveler, so I probably don’t have the right frame of reference. I should also note that I stayed here during the South African “winter,” so my review might be even more enthusiastic during other seasons. I was thrilled - by the layout and size of my room and the bathroom - by the stylish, comfortable, and practical room furnishings - by the bathroom amenities, which really have everything (and more) you could wish for (e.g., a shower and a freestanding bathtub) - by the size and comfort of the bed - by the minibar, which was restocked daily as if by magic (including gin and potato chips) - by the bottle of fine Shiraz waiting in the room as a welcome drink - by the breathtaking view of Franschhoek nestled in the valley, including the romantic sunset - the lovely private balcony with an awning overlooking the small pool (for 5 units) I was absolutely enchanted - by the kindness and helpfulness of the staff, both at the front desk and in the restaurant - by the culinary skills of the kitchen staff, both with the evening meals and at breakfast, which offered a wonderfully varied and lavish selection (there was nothing else I could have wished for) - by the truly excellent wines produced on the estate (after an extensive personal wine tasting, I immediately bought bottles to take home It may be that this kind of extravagant luxury—the kind that leaves nothing to be desired—is also available at other boutique hotels around the world, but I’m quite convinced that its unique location and breathtaking view set even a luxury hotel apart from the rest!. In my opinion, there’s really not much that could be improved: - There are two small workstations, but neither has proper lighting. A small desk lamp would be fine. - The bathroom is wonderfully spacious and open, which can create a thrilling or even erotic atmosphere (unfortunately, I was traveling alone), but I think the toilet should offer some privacy—both visually and in terms of odors. - Unfortunately, the pool isn’t heated. But since daytime temperatures can be quite warm even during the South African winter, a refreshing dip would have been a real bonus (I was told that this is already being considered)

It’s hard to believe there’s a place in Franschhoek as complete as this. The food is enormous. We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was one of the best experiences of the trip. The staff are extremely attentive and the view is the most privileged! I would definitely stay here again every time I visit Franschhoek!
