La Petite Ferme

La Petite Ferme is an attractive choice for wine enthusiasts to explore South Africa's wine country. The property is set out in the vineyards which gives it a quiet and romantic air. Instead of strolling down the small streets of town past shops, as you can at some of our other favorites, here you can stroll the gardens and hills of the vineyards and soak in the country setting.  — Mango's view

La Petite Ferme is one of the more intimate wineries in the Cape Wine Lands. We have a variety of accomodations to suit any traveler, from the family holiday to the discerning couple in need of a luxurious experience.

The guest suites are set within a labyrinth of garden pathways. Each of the luxury guest suites has a personal plunge pool and exudes romantic charm. The well-appointed lakeside lodges, set high on the northern slopes of the magnificent Franschhoek Mountains in a beautiful garden that extends upwards into the Capes unique Fynbos, have everything you will require to make your stay comfortable and unforgettable. The two rustic self-catering cottages are set amongst vineyards which are situated a mere ten minute stroll from the restaurant. These cottages are suitable for families, and children that are able to swim. Facilities include a private plunge pool, wooden fireplace and fully equipped kitchen.

Even when departing the wine lands, the splendor never stops. A scenic 90 minute drive from La Petite Ferme leads you to the coastal-based La Petite Baleine, and the ideal opportunity to bid a fitting farewell to the area. Soaked generously in sunshine with sweeping, uninterrupted ocean views of Walker Bay near Hermanus, this seaside villa has two sea-facing bedrooms and an infinity-edged swimming pool set on a private patio.
