La Petite Providence Accommodation
Throughout the cottage, the décor and furnishings are of the highest
standards, with rich tapestry cushions and wonderful artworks. The
'Sleigh' room, with its wonderful leather sleigh bed, has an
en-suite bathroom while the 'French' room has a full, luxurious bathroom
next to the room.
Both bedrooms have double doors that open directly to the swimming pool.
Adjacent to the large lounge / dining area is the fully-fitted kitchen.
The cottage overlooks a large duck pond with an abundance of wildlife
and provides an oasis of tranquility; perfect for enjoying the wildlife
and stunning mountain views - all from your own doorstep.
Guests will find several seating areas suited for various purposes: Sitting
under the pergola for an alfresco breakfast will keep the sun's rays at
bay. Sundowners are perfect in the gazebo by the pond, or a glass of our
wonderful wine beside the swimming pool.
Mews Flat
In addition to the cottage, the Mews Flat provides spacious accommodation
for an additional two persons. Attached to the main farmstead and just
a short distance from La Petite Providence, this very large room is furnished
with an eclectic mix of antique and original furniture and artworks.
The carved four-poster bed conjures up images of the Far East and is tempered
with original African works by contemporary artists. The en-suite bathroom
features a freestanding bath and a huge walk-in shower and is also home
to more fabulous artworks.
La Petite Providence Facilities
Behind La Petite Providence is the beautiful guest swimming pool. If
you're not partial to an early morning swim, a quick dip as the daytime
temperatures rise will always be refreshing. For those not keen on the
water, perhaps a lazy day around the pool may be more suitable.
The tennis court is just a short distance from the cottage, with racquets
available for guests' use. A fully equipped office is available for the
exclusive use of our guests.
This workspace is equally suitable for the executive to conduct business
whilst away from the office or for non-business guests to send and retrieve
their e-mail. The computer has Internet access and also spreadsheet and
word-processing applications. A fax machine and telephone are also on
hand to assist with your communications.
Secure parking is provided close to the Cottage & the Mews Flat. We
have just 2.16 hectares under vines, all of which are Cabernet Sauvignon.
This cultivar is grafted onto 101-14 rootstock.
The vineyards are established on Kroonstad soil and the vines are supported
using the ‘extended perold double cordon’ trellising system.
The estate has a west-facing aspect, with the trellising set in an East-West
direction. In June we prune the vines to two eye-bearers and in October
we sucker the vineyards to two shoots per bearer.
During the growing period we ensure that all the shoots are properly hooked
in between the vines at all times. This exposes as many leaves as possible
to the sun and allows the sunlight to penetrate through the canopy to
the fruit.
As the grapes start colouring, we crop the bunches in order to reduce the yield. We aim for a yield of just six tonnes per hectare. This concentrates the flavours in the grapes and thus increases the quality of the wine. In 2006 the grapes were harvested in March at 24º Balling.
