La Petite Ferme · Franschhoek
Why Your Next Celebration Deserves a Winelands Backdrop
A milestone can feel surprisingly brief when everything has to fit between arriving for a reservation and leaving again that evening. Booking celebration accommodation in Franschhoek means your special occasion getaway can include the afternoon, evening and following morning. When you stay at La Petite Ferme, you have that time together in the Winelands instead of spending a large part of it travelling home.
- A change of surroundings for birthdays, anniversaries and other milestones.
- The extra time you have together when you stay overnight.
- Ways to plan a celebration around the people and occasion.
A birthday dinner or anniversary lunch has a natural endpoint when everyone has to leave afterwards. Stay overnight and there is no drive home waiting at the end of dinner. Choosing celebration accommodation in Franschhoek at La Petite Ferme gives you the freedom to arrive earlier, enjoy the evening and wake up to breakfast in the Winelands the following morning.
A Backdrop Worth Celebrating
Leaving the city puts some distance between a milestone and an ordinary weekend. In Franschhoek, the familiar streets and usual restaurants are replaced by vineyards, mountain slopes and time spent on the farm. You are somewhere you chose specifically for the birthday, anniversary, engagement or babymoon.
Sharing the setting is part of the experience too. Psychological research into shared experiences found that enjoying something pleasant with another person can intensify the experience. A wine tasting, a walk through the vineyards or an afternoon spent together therefore has a place in the celebration alongside the dinner itself.
More Than Just One Special Evening
Staying overnight gives you hours that a lunch or dinner reservation simply does not include. You can arrive without planning the return journey around the celebration and decide how much you want to do during your stay.
You could:
- Settle into your suite and spend the afternoon together;
- Book a wine tasting or an in-room spa treatment;
- Enjoy dinner and return to your suite afterwards, or
- Meet for breakfast the following morning.
Dinner may be the reason you chose the date, but it does not have to account for the entire celebration. The glass of wine beforehand, an afternoon by the pool or a long breakfast the next morning gives you additional time with the people who came to celebrate with you.
Our Manor House suits families or friends who want to stay together, while the Vineyard and Winery Suites give couples their own space for an anniversary, engagement or babymoon.
Make Every Moment Your Own
A 40th birthday with a group of close friends calls for different plans from an anniversary for two. For an engagement, you may want privacy around the moment itself. During a babymoon, an open afternoon and an in-room spa treatment may be exactly what you had in mind.
You can make dinner the main event, include a wine experience or enquire about an intimate celebration. Our Chef’s Table seats up to ten guests, and bespoke event options are available when you have something particular in mind.
When you choose where to celebrate, think about the hours on either side of the main event as well. They may be the time you end up enjoying together most.
