Picardie Guest Farm

Picardie Guest Farm is one of the oldest farms situated in the historical town of Paarl, in the Western Cape. The farm has its own natural spring, the water from which is bottled and sold to the public. It offers a range of products, including still water and flavored sparkling water.

In 1689, the Taillefert family was granted the farm Picardie as well as the adjacent farm LaBorie, which stretched from the banks of the Berg River on the east, to the Paarl Mountain on the west. Picardie and part of LaBorie were later sold to Adriaan Jacobus Louw, and it has been in the Louw family for six generations.

Today, Picardie is a working guest farm, located at the foot of the Paarl Mountain with views over the valley. It is suitable for a weekend break, a holiday, or any special celebration. The farm also caters to corporate weekends and school groups. It specializes in wedding ceremonies and can accommodate various needs and budgets.

The Akker Room has a veranda that embraces outdoor living and overlooks the dam. It is a cool and lovely room, ideal for short stays, guests in transit, or those seeking a weekend getaway from a busy life.
