This is not the first time I have stayed at Mont Rochelle - but this time with my family. This stay was, as expected, just fantastic. From Peter's warm welcome to the kind care shown by Anna and Tanashe and the restaurant staff. Friendly smiles from staff at all times in corridors and gardens. We look forward to being back. This really is a special hotel.

A beautiful hotel in an excellent location just outside the town but walkable in about 20 minutes. The facilities including pool and tennis court are lovely and the staff were all very attentive and helpful.

We just spent three nights at Mont Rochelle with a group of 11, our second stay here, and it was even better than the first. The views of the Franschhoek mountains are genuinely spectacular, but what brings us back is the team. A few people deserve a special mention. Yasmine handled every reservation and transfer for our group with total care, and no detail was ever too small. Peter takes care of everything so effortlessly you barely notice it happening. Bronwyn in the spa was outstanding. The housekeeping team was terrific throughout. And Fred in the bar put together a special gin tasting for us that turned into one of the highlights of the trip. We were in Southern Africa for 17 days, and this was the best and most personalized service we had anywhere. That level of personal attention is what sets Mont Rochelle apart. Thank you all for a wonderful return stay. We will be back.

We had a wonderful weekend at Mont Rochelle. Our room was spacious, comfortable, had a lovely balcony, was private and had everything we needed. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcome. They looked after our mountain bikes, they provided me with Gluten Free cookies in the room and every staff member we encountered were so friendly. It was really quiet, the food was good, the views spectacular and it just felt like a real spoil.
