A gorgeous heritage building just 5 minutes walking distance from the best restaurants in Franschhoek. The swimming pool is private and perfect for those who like to laze on pool loungers on those perfect sunny days. The private lounge is spacious and well decorated. The breakfasts are sumptuous and inviting. This is home away from home! Nothing has been missed to make your stay as comfortable as possible. A fully stocked mini bar fridge and wine rack complete your stay. Free Wifi, free Netflix, the latest Samsung 50" Smart Interactive TV means you stay connected. We welcome your safe arrival at Petit Ermitage. Kind regards, James

I love hosting my guests and advising them on places to visit and things to do. I can guide them on the best restaurant advice, which wine estates to visit and which hiking routes to follow, or biking and running trails to pursue. I have a wealth of knowledge in the area. My passion is helping my guests have wonderful time.

Petit Ermitage is located in the historic core of Franschhoek. Just minutes walk from the wine tram, the famous Huguenot Monument, the museum, and within 3 to 5 minutes from the very best restaurants in Franschhoek. We are located in an extremely safe part of the village with access to all facilities.
