I spent 1 night at La Petite in their Deluxe Vineyard Suite (name Deluxe), which is definitely one of, if not their best room. With the weather in Franschhoek being overcast and quite cold we were lucky enough to still have beautiful views of the valley intermittently. We made use of the gas fire in our room and the underfloor... More

I had lunch at La Petite Ferme and was not disappointed by the good food. The tomato tart was superb, the lamb in a brinjal tower was excellent, albeit a little dry. Creme brulee was average. My only issue was the service, which was lacklustre, I felt rushed as we were served our entire meal in 30 minutes and a... More

We stayed at La Petite Ferme in the Pear Tree cottage which was fantastic and very private. The view from the veranda was spectacular and worth getting back to for sun downers at your own little pool. Breakfast is served in the restaurant and included a buffet of cereals, fruit salads, yoghurts etc. and you could also order off the... More

Lovely elevated setting in pretty gardens overlooking vineyard and valley below. Accommodation in garden cottage very comfortable, spacious and private with terrace and small pool. Food is rustic and tasty. Wine list is short and all wines are produced on the estate. Several are consistent award winners and all tried were delicious. Disappointingly the last vintage of chardonnay was completely... More

I have eaten at La Petite Ferme restaurant several times over the past 12 years but had not been in recent times. The setting is still wonderful but the food regretably not up to the standard I remember.

Do not leave Stellenbosch without eating lunch here. Gorgeous gardens overlooking a breathtaking view. The lamb is to die for, our 16 month old almost ate all of my wife's plate. Attentive and friendly staff. And they have highchairs!! A must before you leave Stellenbosch or SA.

We had our own mega-pool overlooking the valley... More

We stayed again at a Vineyard Suite. So calm and beautiful scenery. The verandah and plunge pool are perfect. It is difficult to try news places for lunch when La Petite Ferme offers such a wonderful choice and the food is cooked to perfection. The wines are delicious and some are now available in the UK. The Dendy-Young family and... More

We had been at this restaurant several years ago and I was keen to return for the fabulous food and amazing views. We were not disappointed and it exceeded expectations. We had booked a table, asking for one with a view- possibly outside- we got one outside under an oak tree with the best view. They allowed us to bring... More

We booked two nights in the Pear Tree Cottage and were delighted! Getting to the cottage was a bit of an adventure as the road from reception is downhill, narrow and consists of only two concrete ribbons, one for each tire! But what a view and what a charming accommodation! The Pear Tree Cottage is at the end of the... More
