The farm was granted to the Huguenot, Ettienne Niel, on 18 October 1694 which he then named in memory of his province of origin, Le Dauphiné. It is now owned and cultivated by the Malherbe family since 5 October 1872... At first grain and vines were cultivated, but after the Philloxera disease (1886) destroyed most of the vineyards in the Western Cape, a switch was made to deciduous fruit. Today plums, peaches and nectarines are being exported... Three 2-bedroom cottages (sleeps 4 each) under old oak trees situated on the bank of the Franschhoek river on the historic French Huguenot farm La Dauphine. Enjoy the freshness of nature on this beautiful fruit farm, already owned for five generations by the Malherbe family.
