"Only very minor issue: It can get somewhat difficult to get an Uber in the evenings in Franschhoek (which you basically need to go to town due to the location of La Petite Ferme)."

"La Petite Ferme review"
2 nights Arrived 11 Feb 2022
"This is such a unique place set right in the vineyards with stunning views of Franschhoek.
The Vineyard Garden Suites have been revamped since we were last there and have been done really beautifully.
Delicious food served either on the terrace or at your suite.
There were various staffing issues going on , which didn't affect us much but was causing concern to other guests.
Staff training seemed to be the problem." See all these reviews: 8n in South Africa; 5n in Mozambique

"The view from the room is stunning and the service of all staff is great!
Also the hotel is really well located from the centre.
The only thing is that are not really prepared for rainy days like all the other wineries in Franschhoek." See all these reviews: 3n in South Africa

"Relaxing few days at La Petite Ferme"
3 nights Arrived 11 Jan 2020
"Franschhoeuk is a beautiful place and La petite Ferme was a wonderful place to stay. The incredible views of the valley from our suite overlooking the pool were stunning - we could see for miles. We had a very warm welcome by Dylan who introduced us to the hotel and its amenities and included a welcome glass of Pink Champagne while he registered us . We enjoyed lunch outside under the trees and enjoyed the views with a chilled bottle of Chardonnay!
The staff were all so friendly and helpful - nothing was too much bother for them.
We ate in the restaurant most nights. The food was very nice although a little too fancy - we would have preferred more simple dishes but nevertheless the quality of the food was exceptional. We were staying in the Manor House - previously the owner's private residence. The room was lovely (no. 9 The Bridal Suite) with access to the shared pool and of course the stunning views.
We had read that the Manor House suites were due to be refurbished this year (May 2020) and although the bedroom was very clean and comfortable the bathroom was looking tired and the shower leaked considerably. We mentioned this to Dylan and he immediately had someone address the problem. This wouldn't put us off staying there again as so many other things made up for it and in fact we look forward to returning to enjoy the refurbished rooms in the Manor House. Also, I do hope they will consider a wall mounted mirror somewhere in the room for when drying hair etc. Had to struggle a little but eventually achieved the desired outcome.
All in all a wonderful few days at La Petite Ferme." See all these reviews: 13n in South Africa
