La Petite Ferme is an award-winning boutique hotel and wine estate located on the slopes of the Franschhoek Mountains with spectacular views over the valley.
Its new winery suites boast a contemporary, upmarket and on-trend interior and an exterior that still reflects the remains of its previously Cape Vernacular style.
Each room was individually customised, with all renovations, decor and finishings distinctively selected. This is carried through to the wallpaper of the bedrooms of the suites and visually links to the name of the particular suite celebrating a La Petite Ferme wine label.

All the bathrooms feature top-end luxury fixtures and fittings and a ‘showstopper’ bath that occupies pride of place.
The five winery suites are named after five of La Petite Ferme’s wine labels. The Viognier and the Baboon Rock celebrate La Petite Ferme’s white wines, while The Verdict, The Variation and The ZA celebrate its red varietals.
The Viognier Suite is named after a white wine grape grown chiefly in the Rhône area of France.
Franschhoek enjoys many similarities to the climate and terroir in the south of France and La Petite Ferme has built up a reputation for producing some of the finest examples of viognier in South Africa.
The Verdict Suite is named after a wine that pays tribute to the Honourable Chief Justice JR Dendy Young, a man with integrity and high moral principles.
La Petite Ferme acknowledges the efforts of his esteemed career and the brave decisions he took against all odds.
The ZA Suite is named after a registered label name that celebrates South African wines, with La Petite Ferme’s master winemaker, Wikus Pretorius, producing a limited quantity of this label each year.
The Variation Suite is named after La Petite Ferme‘s Rhône Style Blend. A variety of factors and creativity went into crafting this blend, which also links to La Petite Ferme’s owner being Swiss-Lebanese with a variety of backgrounds and cultures.
La Petite Ferme’s occasional baboon visitors, who help themselves to some of the estate’s best fruit, served as inspiration for the Baboon Rock Suite.
Each suite has light oak flooring, a private balcony and a shared pool available for guests.
The rooms are bathed in natural light filtering through delicate linen curtains and offer a serene escape, perfect for those seeking curated simplicity and a peaceful retreat.
Together with the recently opened winery suites, La Petite Ferme’s luxury accommodation includes five manor house suites, also with a shared pool and five luxury vineyard suites, each with a private plunge pool.
In addition to its accommodation, La Petite Ferme is home to an award-winning restaurant and produces world-class, hand-crafted wines.
Situated less than three minutes from the village of Franschhoek and with arguably the best view of the Franschhoek Valley, La Petite Ferme makes a perfect getaway for both summer and winter escapes.
