Retreat for wine and chocolate

Franschhoek, formerly traversed by elephants centuries ago, has been regarded as South Africa’s French Quarter since its establishment by French Huguenots in the late 17th century.  Throughout the last three centuries, agricultural grounds and residences have evolved into internationally acclaimed vineyards, many of which retain their original Cape Dutch architectural structures.  La Petite Ferme – Manor House encourages travelers to discover this vibrant town while utilizing their sophisticated lodging as a foundation.

The vistas from Le Petite Ferme, which overlook tree-lined merlot vineyards and the Helderberg mountains, are exceptional.  Experience cellar tours and wine tastings at the farm, gourmet cuisine at the restaurant, or a wine tasting while horseback riding.  Explore the town’s numerous art galleries, admire L’Ormarins’ Franschhoek Motor Museum, and savor chocolate confections at the Huguenot Fine Chocolates business.

The luxuriously furnished suites at the Manor House – Le Petite, Library, Verandah, and Bridal – include en-suite bathrooms and private verandahs with stunning views.  Three suites feature fireplaces, while two provide views of the swimming pool.  The Manor House is located 40 minutes from Stellenbosch and 1 hour and 30 minutes from Cape Town.
