La Petite Ferme

I’ve lost count of the number of times we’ve had lunch at La Petite Ferme or stayed. This time we had lunch. The restaurant were good enough to respond to an email from me requesting our favourite table which we really appreciated. The view never fails to impress, and it is a major reason on its own to visit. Our lunch was all fine and looked amazing. Personally, I thought it lacked depth of flavour, but we enjoyed it nonetheless. Wines were excellent. Only downside was that the R600 reservation fee wasn’t removed from the bill which I only realised later. I should have gone back as we were staying nearby but couldn’t be bothered. The same issue happened on our last visit, so something needs to be done! But La Petite Ferme is always a joy to visit and we’ll be back when we’re next in Franschhoek.

Our stay at La Petite Ferme in Franschhoek was nothing short of spectacular. We booked here for our honeymoon and from the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beauty of the property and the warmth of the service.||Our room was immaculate, incredibly spacious, and beautifully designed, offering a breathtaking view of the vineyards and mountains. It truly felt like having our own private slice of wine country. Waking up to that scenery every morning was an unforgettable experience.||The food and wine were exceptional, showcasing the best of the region. We loved it so much that we couldn’t leave without bringing home multiple cases of their incredible wines!||However, what truly made our stay remarkable was the service. Johan, the manager, went above and beyond to ensure we had an incredible experience. He greeted us daily, reviewed our itinerary, and even introduced us to more private, hands-on wineries, giving us a deeper, more personal look at Franschhoek’s wine scene. Thanks to him, we discovered hidden gems beyond the typical tourist spots, making our visit truly one of a kind.||Throughout our stay, we always felt well taken care of, and we cannot recommend La Petite Ferme more highly. If you’re looking for an unforgettable stay in Franschhoek with stunning views, world-class wine, and unparalleled hospitality, this is the place to be. We can’t wait to return!

Our Stay at Le Petite Ferme was absolutely amazing. Our suite with a private pool, made you feel like we were the only ones on the property, and the incredible view we had that stretched across the vineyards into the gorgeous mountains is so scenic and just incredible. The staff, especially manager Johan went over and beyond to make this stay unforgettable. We highly recommend staying here if you visit the Franschoek wine area in South Africa.

We stayed here as part of a three week trip to South Africa. We spent four days touring the wine country with a wine consultant, privately hired, who was very familiar with the area. If you’re a wine person, find Dominic Dear and contract with him because he is fantastic and this area is his bread and butter.||||We enjoyed La Petite Ferme as well. The room was fantastic and the view is without equal. We found the staff a little cold throughout our stay and didn’t feel particularly welcomed upon arrival. Nonetheless, it was acceptable.||||We were a little disappointed at the restaurant. The food was beautiful but the preparation and flavors did not excite us. We only had dinner here one night and went into town for the other nights for lunches and dinners.||||Overall, I would recommend staying here because the views are unsurpassed, but one should venture into the town for dinner and lunch because there are more choices with a lot more approachable and flavorful food.||||Also, An LPF wine tasting was included as part of our package however these pale in contrast to the wines we experienced in Stellenbosch and Franschoek. ||||in summary, as a base of operations for these two regions LPF is wonderful. However better meals and better wines abound in the surrounding area. Uber is also readily available.

We went for dinner and enjoyed every moment from the time we arrived until we left with a box of wine in hand. Jean was our waiter and had a great personality, fantastic recommendations for food and wine. His enthusiasm and attention to detail took the evening to the next level! P.S. the lamb was unbelievable.

La Petite Ferme is located in Franschhoek, a town that was founded by French emigrants in the seventeenth century. The area is characterized by viticulture and La Petite Ferme has a magnificent view over the valley above Franschhoek and the surrounding mountains. The only thing more spectacular than the view is the beautiful grounds and the good food (combined with the service, which is also top-notch). I have now eaten at La Petite Ferme three times and each time I have thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The service is friendly and unobtrusive, the food always has the right balance between classic and modern and you have one of the most beautiful views in the Western Cape while eating.

We spent four fantastic and memorable nights in a pool villa, high up overlooking Franschhoek and the beautiful valley.|The room was stunning with a large lounge area, huge bathroom, all very modern and clean- my only gripe was the loo could door with a door! Very comfortable huge bed and furnishings and an outside terrace complete with small pool, made the whole environment so relaxing .|The gardens and grounds are kept in beautiful order especially the sweeping lawns running down to their vineyard.|The staff are warm , friendly and a special mention must be made about Johanne ,the guest services manager ( ? ) who looked after us so well with bookings and great advice.|Breakfast was plentiful and very good .|Overall an exceptional stay.

Without doubt the highlight of our three month trip to Africa, From the moment you walk through the doors and be greeted by Johan you are taken into another world that you wont wish to leave.||The attentive and caring service provided by Johan and his team will set the tone for your stay, the food and wine are sublime, the views over the valley will beat any other Franschoek property. ||The peace and tranquility of La Petite Ferme cannot be beaten.||We loved our two nights so much that we cancelled our next stop and remained here, such was the pulling power of LPF....be sure you leave ample time to enjoy the property without running off in search of the next wine tasting! You will not be disappointed.||it had been 17 years since we last visited ,,,,,we are now planning our next ...and it wont be in 17 years!!
