The hotel

In the style of a private manor house, the property dates back to 1668 but today offers discerning guests the ultimate in luxury. Effortlessly combining elegance with modern comfort, it also boasts a glorious location. Set against a backdrop of the Klein Dassenberg Mountains, no matter what window you’re standing at, the views are breathtaking! As well as a swimming pool to lounge by, there’s a wellness centre and a gym. Alternatively, explore your surrounds by bicycle or on horseback. Set in the wine region, food and drink is, of course, vitally important. Miko offers fine dining in every aspect with each and every dish a work of art. Country Kitchen is more relaxed, perfect for an al fresco lunch or cosy starlit dinner. Before you decide which wine to drink with your meal, visit the tasting room, there’s a huge variety on offer, many from the Mont Rochelle vineyard itself.

This is our fifth trip to Mont Rochelle and we are still impressed. The grounds are beautiful with multiple seating areas to take in the view, a large gym and pool. We recommend room 28 - a large suite with a private view and private pool. The staff is friendly, and accommodating to all your needs. A great stay while in Franschhoek.

What an amazing place! We stayed here at the end of our trip to Africa. It was the perfect place to unwind and relax before returning home. The staff were all friendly and helpful, the food in the restaurant was fresh and tasty, and the atmosphere - perfect! We plan on returning next time we're in the area.

A beautiful hotel in a beautiful setting with the most friendliest of staff. A great place to relax for a few days after a busy itinerary in Capetown. The local wine tram wine tasting experience is a must.

Just fabulous. From the welcome (with the obligatory glass of local wine), through the complimentary wine tasting (do you sense a theme?), to the spa and the room with the most amazing view… just wonderful. The staff are so very helpful, and the location stunning. Thoroughly recommended.

Top-class facilities and service in the beautiful Franschhoek Valley. The wines are also excellent, and I recommend a wine tasting when visiting.
