Mont Rochelle

We stayed at Mont Rochelle over the Christmas break and had a fantastic time. The hotel is peaceful and very comfortable. It has a very relaxed luxurious vibe. The staff were really amazing and the food was delicious. We would highly recommend it to anybody who wants to stay in Franschoek.

Mont Rochelle is truly special. Spectacular views of the mountains, whether you’re enjoying breakfast or dinner, make every moment feel memorable. The estate itself is stunning with manicured gardens and vineyards where you can walk around and completely unwind. The wine tasting experience is relaxed and elegant, enjoyed in a beautiful setting with excellent wines and thoughtful, unpretentious service. It never feels rushed—just calm, refined, and genuinely enjoyable. A real highlight was the live music—a wonderful combination of a very young, emerging talent performing alongside an experienced musician. A lovely touch that added soul and personality to the experience. Dining at Miko Restaurant was another standout. The food is seasonal, beautifully presented, and pairs perfectly with the estate’s wines. Service was attentive without being intrusive, allowing you to truly relax and enjoy the evening. Overall, Mont Rochelle offers a perfect balance of luxury, tranquility, warmth, and authenticity. Ideal for couples, wine lovers, or anyone looking to slow down and enjoy the very best of Franschhoek. Highly recommended.

We stayed at Mont Rochelle for our honeymoon, and from the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The location is absolutely stunning with incredible views of the vineyards and mountains, and the service was second to none. Our room was amazing and incredibly spacious, beautifully decorated, and full of thoughtful touches that made it feel really special. A HUGE thank you to Peter, who was so friendly and attentive throughout our stay, Clinton for making fantastic drinks and looking after us at the bar/pool, and Anna and Bradley, who made breakfast such a lovely experience every morning. Every detail was handled with care, and it truly felt like a personalised, luxury experience. We will 100% be returning on our next trip to South Africa!

As ever Mont Rochelle delivered, awesome hotel, beautiful location and great thoughtful and friendly team, thank you.

Dear Mont Rochelle Please please please do yourself a favour and employ a new chef at Miko - it spoils a great experience as at present the food is tasteless and disappointing
