1. These breathtaking views: With a near-perfect location above the Franschhoek valley, La Petite Ferme offers panoramic views of vineyards, mountains and endless blue skies. We are truly humbled by this exquisite blessing from nature. It’s not something we can take any credit for, yet it is such an integral part of La Petite Ferme’s DNA. May we never lose our wonder for the beauty in nature.
2. Our quiver of awards: Riaan Kruger, general manager of La Petite Ferme, is justifiably proud of the hotel’s continual achievement of coveted positions among the distinguished winners acknowledged by the World Luxury Hotel Awards and Haute Grandeur Awards. He emphasizes that these accolades – determined through guest and industry professional votes – serve as a testament to the entire team’s dedication and La Petite Ferme’s absolute commitment to delivering exceptional experiences and top-tier hospitality to our cherished guests, who forge unforgettable memories.
3. The visionary Dendy-Youngs: Founded by the Dendy-Young family – who took their stewardship of this iconic Franschhoek property extremely seriously – La Petite Ferme has long stood as a testament to inspired living, offering guests lavish accommodation, exquisite dining and unforgettable wine experiences. Today, under the ownership of The Nest Estate, La Petite Ferme continues to honour its founders’ legacy while embracing the future with open arms.
4. Our humble beginnings: Our name translates to “the little farm” and we are so proud of our roots! La Petite Ferme started as a farmstall for travellers passing by, then it grew to include a restaurant; later, the luxury accommodation and wines were added. But we will always value life’s simple pleasures: bountiful nature, handcrafted wines, delicious cuisine, and spending time together.

9. Our timeless charm: Whether it’s your first visit or your 50th, La Petite Ferme promises an experience filled with warmth, beauty and unforgettable memories.
10. Inspired by heritage: The farm boasts a contemporary, upmarket and on-trend interior, and an exterior that, with just a touch of modernity, still hints at its previous Cape vernacular style as a tribute to the heritage of the wine farm and the area as a whole.
