I can't comment on the accomodation here as we only went for the wine tasting. However, we found this to be a charming place, run by knowledgable, laid back staff who fell over to offer you a great experience. The wine itself is of a very high quality, and we were offered tastings of some new vintages that weren't on... more

Went to the Mont Rochelle restaurant and vineyard just recently. We were there for a late lunch, arrived at 2pm and sat in the garden, there was no one, the lunch crowd has obviously thinned out. We were looking at photos taken earlier in the day, when the food came we put our camera aside on the table to start... more

Out of principle,I will never visit this institution . Have just seen a program on wine ,hosted by Isabelle Legaron . She interviews the hotel manager,who makes his crust in Franschoek and then still extolls the virtues of Frensch wine as being the best in the world!!! more

Both my Husband and I did not think that 'The Mont Rochelle' was worthy of be a 5 star though for numerous reasons. 1. The rooms had cheap non blackout curtains so the sun would wake us at 6am every morning. 2. The lounges by the pool were no good they need to invest in new ones. 3. The service... more

We spent two nights at Mont Rochelle at the end of a three week holiday in South Africa. The views, location, standard of service and food were beyond our expentations having read varied reviews prior to our visit. We will certainly return to Franschhoek and especially to Mont Rochelle. more

I too was a little apprehensive after seeing mixed reviews, but our rather picky party of four was enchanted by the place. We drove straight there from Cape Town airport after a 12-hour flight, and immediately felt at ease with the spectacular location, charming architecture and friendly and professional welcome. Our rooms were spacious and immaculate, the attention to detail... more

We spent 2 nights at the hotel. The location and views are spectacular and our suite was beautiful. But we wouldn't really recommend it. 4 years ago this was the best hotel in the area and having visited for lunch we vowed to go and stay some time. But its changed hands and standards have slipped. The service was fine,... more

We were a little apprehensive prior to staying at Mont Rochelle in March due to the mixed reviews on the forum. However we experienced top service, food and glorious views of the surrounding Franschoek valley. The manager (Thierry) could not have been more helpful and made every effort to ensure our stay (honeymoon) was memorable. The small things were done... more

I stayed at Mont Rochelle in early February and it was fabulous. My room in the original part of the building overlooked the stunning Franschhoek Valley and had its own plunge pool. Really friendly staff as well. I had dinner outside and the meal got better and better as it went on. If you want to be slightly away from... more
