Petit Ermitage

Set in the heart of Franschhoek in South Africa’s Cape Winelands, Petit Ermitage sits a short walk from the village’s acclaimed restaurants, boutiques, and galleries. The surrounding valley is ringed by the Cape Fold Mountains, with historic wine estates spread along tree-lined lanes and farm roads. Wine Tram pickup points are close by for effortless vineyard visits, while Cape Town is reachable by road in around an hour. The location balances tranquility with convenience, giving guests easy access to culinary highlights and countryside adventures throughout the valley.

With only two suites, stays feel calm and unhurried. Each suite pairs classic Cape character with modern comforts such as quality linens, in-room tea and coffee, a minibar, and an en-suite bathroom with plush towels and toiletries. Flat-screen televisions and a personal safe add practical touches. Sliding doors or large windows draw in natural light and garden or mountain views, creating a relaxed, private retreat after exploring the Winelands. The boutique scale ensures friendly, attentive hosting and a tailored experience.

Shared spaces include a welcoming guest lounge and dining room where a daily breakfast is served, and a pool set within manicured gardens for cooling off on warm afternoons. Wi-Fi is available for planning and sharing your day. While there is no public restaurant or bar on site, Franschhoek’s celebrated dining scene is on the doorstep, and spa treatments can be arranged at reputable venues nearby. Wine touring is simplified with close access to the Wine Tram routes, and staff can assist with bookings and local tips.
