Inspired by the farm and valley’s lush vineyards, this suite is the perfect winelands hideaway. It offers spectacular panoramic views while the fireplace is an invitation to linger longer after a day of exploration.
A moment for romance is reflected in the décor’s soft powder palette. Comfort reaches the pinnacle in a bath that overlooks vineyards of the estate. A perfect place to reconnect, recharge and re-discover joie de vivre.
The wild continent and its celebration of adventure and life spurred the choice of warm colours and characteristic design. This beautiful space is an reflection of our pride in being able to share the wonder of Africa.
Morocco’s alluring landscape and its famous spices markets are depicted here, connecting the continent’s north and south. A window alongside the bath gives a view of the vineyards – the chance to soak in beauty and emerge refreshed.
In a nod to Franschhoek’s Huguenot heritage, this suite reflects the colours of Lake Geneva and the famed watercolours of Claude Monet. Elegant and subtle, the space is ideal to enjoy and celebrate the finer things of life.
“La Petite Ferme’s former owners are people I greatly admire. Taking stewardship of this magnificent property was a dream come true for me. As such, their suite was given the feel of their native home of Zimbabwe. It glows with African verve.”
“This suite bears our family’s affectionate nickname for my father. Born in Lebanon, he always dreamt of doing business in Africa like his father. But he never did. I had the chance however, to make it happen. His suite was inspired by the Mediterranean, a place of peace and beauty.”
“My mother fell in love with La Petite Ferme the day we first came for lunch as guests. Her Swiss origins led me to introduce elements from that beautiful country, such as a feel of the Alps, and objects like roses she cherishes.”
“A sensational person, Andre is a man with a big heart. He is an essential part of my life and someone who brings me peace. In tribute to him, I sought to reflect the South of France, a magnificent region he loves and often visits.”
“Sryani is a person I highly respect for all she did when my father was ill. She hails from Sri Lanka, a most beautiful country of people who are gentle and peaceful. Her suite speaks of that Indian Ocean island and may hopefully inspire your own visit to that amazing place.”
With sunlit interiors and oak flooring, these suites, each named after one of our wines, emanate tranquil charm.
A registered label name which celebrates South African wines with La Petite Ferme’s master wine maker Wikus Pretorius producing a limited quantity of this label each year.
With sunlit interiors and oak flooring, these suites, each named after one of our wines, emanate tranquil charm.
Named after a white wine grape grown chiefly in the Rhône area of France …Franschhoek enjoys many similarities to the climate and terroir and La Petite Ferme has built up a reputation of producing some of the finest examples of Viognier in South Africa.
The Variation is La Petite Ferme‘s Rhône Style Red Blend - a variety of factors and creativity went into crafting this blend and also links into La Petite Ferme’s owner being Swiss Lebanese with a variety of background and culture.
This name originated as a result from the baboons visiting the estate from time to time and helping themselves to some of the estates finest fruit.
A decision on an issue, an opinion or a judgement”… this wine pays tribute to the Honourable Chief Justice JR Dendy Young, a man with integrity and high moral principles. La Petite Ferme acknowledges the efforts of his esteemed career and brave decisions he took against all odds. In essence, “The Verdict”… with regards to the quality of the wine, is of great importance each year.

Ellerman House | Cape Town
Ellerman House was created as a means to channel our passion for South Africa through art, wine, cuisine and sincere hospitality so that others may share in the beauty, bounty and diversity of our country.
The spectacular location of Ellerman House, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean from the foot of Lion’s Head, is undoubtedly part of the property’s enduring allure. Its breathtaking position inspires calm serenity while being in close proximity to the Cape’s numerous attractions.

With only 13 bedrooms and two private villas, we excel at offering our guests a world-class level of service that is intuitive and understated.
Ultra-luxurious facilities, incredible views and an atmosphere of refined comfort attract the most discerning travellers and keep them coming back, year after year. It is the feeling of home; of being enveloped in the beauty and warmth of a place that is at once exotic and familiar.

Wine is taken very seriously at Ellerman House, and the hotel’s 9000-strong collection of South African wines represent both established and emerging labels from the Western Cape’s world-renowned wine regions. Many of the wines in the collection are rare or special releases augmented by sought-after vintages bought on auction. Wines from the cellar are only made available on the hotel’s wine list once they have been optimally aged and are deemed ready for enjoyment at peak maturity. Many of these fine wines are also available by the glass without compromising on quality, thanks to the Le Verre de Vin preservation system.
The depth of the wine list allows guests to try verticals of vintages whereby the same wine can be sampled over various releases. Integrating outstanding contemporary architecture with breath taking sculptural elements and cutting-edge design, the Ellerman House Wine Gallery is not only a showcase for this extensive, award-winning wine collection but offers guests a unique, interactive journey into the world of wine. It aims to bring to life South Africa’s 350-year old heritage of winemaking, providing an environment for tasting and learning about local wines as intriguing and inspiring as the wine itself. Sophisticated storage is provided in state-of-the-art wine racks and separate, temperature-controlled maturation cellars for white and red wines.
The gallery incorporates an interactive multi-media wine library and Brandy Tasting Lounge.There is also a Champagne Cellar, stocked exclusively with rare and special vintages of Dom Pérignon.
The Ellerman House art collection takes visitors to this fine hotel on a journey that explores the huge social and cultural shift that South African art has made from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. The art in this collection tells of the character of our land and the expression of our unique South African experience. From the time of the early pictorial historians of the midnineteenth century, such as Thomas Bowler, you acknowledge that this country has a flavour of its own – an essential nature that distinguishes it from other places. Communities in South Africa were extremely physically and culturally isolated from international centres of artistic innovation in the early 20th Century - a time before instantaneous globalisation of today. The Ellerman House collection traces the progress of pioneering work done in the 1930s by a generation of artists, such as Gregoire Boonzaaier, Maggie Laubser and Irma Stern, who were members of The New Group. Progressive identification by artists, such as Walter Battiss and Alexis Preller, with the essential nature of the land and its people - its Africanism, further reinforced the unique qualities of this land. The emergence of black pioneering artist like Gerard Sekoto and George Pemba began a process of cultural integration of the country’s ethnic communities into a unified South African art. In the Ellerman House Contemporary Gallery, an eclectic, outspoken and energetic generation of current artists such as Benon Lutaaya, Heidi Fourie & Blessing Ngobeni are pushing the boundaries of the ordinary in order to create work that explores relevant issues in post-modern South African society. The Collection records the spirit of the times and the development of art and culture in South Africa. Most of the almost 1000 artworks are exhibited as part of the unique artistic experience that guests can enjoy at the Ellerman House.
For the exclusive use of hotel and villa guests, the Ellerman House Spa is a natural extension of the property’s commitment to quality and personalised service. Situated on the ground-floor of Villa One, it is approached through a garden with tranquil water features and lush indigenous plants. A small, highly experienced team of therapists offer a carefully considered menu of beauty and body treatments designed for relaxation, rejuvenation and self-improvement. Everything is designed to soothe the senses while the body and mind are coaxed into balance.
With three single treatment rooms and one double room designed for couples, the spa specialises in cutting-edge massage techniques and anti-ageing beauty rituals drawing on the wisdom and restorative, healing techniques of different cultures from around the world. In addition, there is a sensation shower, sauna and steam room for hydrotherapy.
Specialised massage techniques on offer include traditional Japanese body work, Bellabaci, aromatherapy, lymph drainage, and deep-tissue massage.
Small, well-equipped fitness centre with it’s own sauna and change rooms is located beneath the main house for those who want to maintain a workout regime while travelling. There is also an outdoor, heated lap pool tucked away on a private terrace. Up-to-date apparatus set the scene for an invigorating workout with a view. Equipment includes free weights and a bench, treadmill, stationary bicycle, full-body toning machine, stability balls, weighted medicine balls and exercise mats.
The Ellerman House Library offers guests a collection of fiction and nonfiction titles, plus magazines from around the world. Our guests love to sit and read books in the morning, or enjoy an after-dinner drink by the fireplace. For convenience, a nearby computer and printer are connected to the network and available for complimentary guest use.
