We spent 2 nights at Mont Rochelle for our honeymoon and it was incredible. The views are breathtaking and the staff are extremely welcoming and friendly. The check in and check out process was seamless and staff take their time to ensure you are refreshed and relaxed. The shuttle to and from the hotel was extremely helpful and the staff are so good at remembering individual details about you which makes it feel very personal. Breakfast was fantastic. I also had a wonderful deep tissue massage in the spa and the member of staff was lovely. We felt very relaxed and at peace there would love to visit again.

We had a wonderful stay at Mont Rochelle. Beautiful grounds amazing food and wine wonderful Spa and expectional staff. All the little details like complementary wine drinks and snacks in your room to the shuttle service provided make such a difference. We had dinner and breakfast at Miko the food was delicious and with the fire places lit the ambience was lovely. All the staff are so attentive and can’t do enough for you and make you feel extra special. For s luxury relaxing escape Mont Rochelle ticks all the boxes.

Absolutely superb experience. From the welcome drink, to the friendly staff, complimentary snacks and drinks, luxurious bedroom, top quality food...even champagne at breakfast. Stunning location surrounded by mountains. Service was attentive and faultless. Pool had a few too many dead insects, but otherwise was a fantastic place to stay. You won't regret it.
