Mont Rochelle

Second visit here, four nights this time which was lovely. Sad to see Ab has retired but staff here are amazing. Sleep quality is quite incredible and th ed whole set up of the hotel great. Love the little bar at night for a few drinks - very peaceful. Fred the bartender was a great host. Breakfast his the luck of the draw sadly - overcooked eggs, disjointed in service but not the biggest issues really. Will we go back? - definitely

From the moment my wife and I arrived, the staff could not do enough for us. Mont Rochelle is a beautiful hotel and our room was superb. The reason why I gave it a 4 rating and not 5 is because the food in general wasn't as good as it should have been. The food on New Year's Eve was way below average. There was not enough choice. I had already advised that I do not eat milk products or red meat or shell fish and there was virtually nothing for me to eat. They ended up making me a tasteless bit of chicken. There should already have been a choice of chicken or duck on the menu. You should change the chef at Miko. Furthermore, the service at the pool area was virtually non existent. Nobody there offering drinks or anything. Not what one expects at a Hotel such as this. I would definitely stay at Mont Rochelle again, but not unless the food and the pool service has drastically improved. Everything else was excellent, especially the service and staff who were wonderful.

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!
