Petit Ermitage  

In the historic heart of Franschhoek, just minutes' walk from the Huguenot Monument and the town’s best restaurants. This boutique bed-and-breakfast occupies a gorgeous 1892 building and offers secure gated parking in the centre of town.

Rooms are air-conditioned and finished with 300TC percale linen, Nespresso machines and flat-screen TVs with Blu-ray and Netflix. Many rooms have private entrances and patios with mountain views. Expect a sun-soaked outdoor pool, daily room service and a warm, intimate vibe in a restored period property.

Take a dip in the fenced outdoor pool, lounge in the garden or fire up the barbecue in warmer months. There’s a picnic area, terrace, laundry, private check-in/out, safe-deposit boxes and free private parking. Bike rental is available for exploring the valley.

Free WiFi throughout the property and Netflix in-room. On-site power inverters and battery backup mean uninterrupted electricity during your stay.

Gorgeous, sumptuous breakfasts are served à la carte or continental with warm dishes, fresh fruit and juice. There’s an on-site bar and guests are welcomed with wine or champagne and chocolates. Plenty of top Franschhoek restaurants are an easy stroll away.
