Beautiful Hotel, Great location
A superb hotel in a great location with wonderful views over the Franschhoek valley. Very friendly and helpful staff (a special mention must go to our host Peter, who topped the whole experience). The food was Gorgeous (the taster menu is a must!) and home grown wines are worth having too.

Amazing property will definitely visit again
We stayed at Mont Rochelle for our wedding anniversary trip, and it was truly unforgettable. When planning, we narrowed our choices down to La Residence or Mont Rochelle, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. From the moment we arrived, we immediately felt the warmth and hospitality of the team. A special mention goes to Peter, whose energy and enthusiasm could be felt from the moment we met him—you could hear his voice from across the property, and his positivity instantly set the tone for our stay. He not only made us feel welcome but also gave us excellent recommendations for local wineries and even arranged a fantastic dinner reservation at Leeu Estate, which was a highlight of our trip. The property itself is absolutely stunning—surrounded by vineyards and mountains, it feels like a serene escape. Our room was beautiful and thoughtfully prepared with anniversary goodies from the manager, Annette, who also took the time to personally greet us at breakfast, which made the experience feel even more special. Every detail, from the attentive service to the relaxed yet elegant vibe, made our stay exceptional. We left feeling so cared for and already can’t wait to return—perhaps in the summer or during harvest season to experience Mont Rochelle in a different light.

Excellent place to kick off a honeymoon
We started off our honeymoon in South Africa at Mont Rochelle, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect way to start our trip. The level of service was like nothing we've experienced before - the staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay a memorable experience. The views of the valley from the hotel were also fantastic. The town of Franschoek is fun to walk around with good shops and great restaurants. Couldn't recommend Mont Rochelle enough!
