We finished our honeymoon to South Africa with 3 nights at Mont Rochelle and didn’t think it could get better after our amazing stays at the One and Only Cape Town and safari experience but wow! Mont Rochelle is absolutely one of the best places we ever stayed. Aside from the incredibly beautiful location, the staff are 10/10. Everyone is so warm and welcoming and we can’t possibly leave this review without mentioning the hospitality from Peter who has the most infectious enthusiasm. Every part of our stay was fantastic. We arrived very late due to our flight time and the kitchen was closed so the hotel had arranged a lovely cheese platter for us as they anticipated we would be hungry. Anything you need they help with. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, clean and feel very homely. Finally, the food is top quality - breakfast is without a doubt the best we have ever had.

Thank you so much to everyone at Mont Rochelle for making such an amazing visit. Everything was perfect for my 60th birthday. Room 12 was perfect. The food was perfect. The wine was perfect. Every staff member was brilliant. If I could stay again I would do it again in a heart beat.

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.
