Reviews for Mont Rochelle
First class stay
Superb all round. Everything was perfect for our stay. Only sad we could not stay longer. Ambience, relaxing, beautifully set out in wonderful surroundings.

Stunning suite, beautiful setting
We had two nights here as part of our Winelands tour. We had room 27 which is probably the best in the whole hotel with a separate living room, huge bedroom and bathroom topped off with a private plunge pool and two beds with views over the Franshhoeck mountains. It was one of the best rooms we have had. The hotel provides a complimentary wine tasting, three bottles of wine in the room and a complimentary mini bar. Service is exemplary and in Peter he is a larger than life character who only has your welfare at heart. We ate out first night - with a complimentary shuttle into town and back. We ate in Miko our last night and the food is very good. Overall it is a very chilled location with a lovely pool, immaculate grounds and fab staff. Shout out to Chelsea Fred in the bar for his wonderful service and great sense of humour.

You must go
If you want to make the most of your cape town trip please visit the amazing mont Rochelle made distinctive and elegant by the amazing Reggie who’s knowledge of the wines and pairings truly stands out amongst the rest. The most informative and friendly wine tasting. I would 100% recommend to friends and family! Fantastic experience- thanks to Reggie!

Not worthy
We decided to visit Mont Rochelle mainly because of its association with Richard Branson. Given the reputation attached to his name, we expected a high-level wine experience and stopped for a tasting while in Franschhoek. Unfortunately, we left quite disappointed. The terrace setting is pleasant, but not particularly exceptional compared to many other estates in the region that offer more striking views and atmosphere. The biggest letdown was the wine itself. The overall quality felt very low, and all the vintages presented were extremely young. We are in 2026, and the oldest wine available during our tasting was from 2024, which made the selection feel immature and lacking depth or complexity. While the prices are relatively low, the wines were, in our view, still not worth it. Sadly, the experience did not live up to the expectations created by the estate’s ownership and reputation.
