We had a great experience but the rooms are in need of an upgrade. Dinner at Bosmans was excellent. More

We stayed at Grande Roche for two nights in January 2012. The location of the property is truly exquisite - the views at breakfast from Bosman's restuarant are truly breathtaking. Upon arrival you are met at your car by a representative of the hotel who welcomes you and offers you a refreshment - I think this is a really nice... More

We were supposed to stay 2 nights and only ended up staying one because our room was THAT bad. Musty, no view and low ceilings (where we bumped our heads on a few occasions) made this unbearable for another night. One check out, they didn't refund the proper amount and couldn't seem to get anything straight. They charged us twice... More

We decided to visit this hotel's restaurant for a celebratory so called (and advertised as such in the Cape Times) 'afternoon tea'. We had booked but were not expected. A table was hastily laid but the service was slow and eratic. The 'tea' comprised six little bites each and we struggled to make the experience last 20 minutes. The view... More

We drove up to the gates and it was some time before we were allowed to proceed to the car park. We said we wanted to have something to eat. The gardens are wonderful and there were roses everywhere in full bloom. The hotel is surrounded by vineyards and the views across the valley are lovely. The waiter suggested fried... More

The hotel grounds are spectacular and the views from the hotel's terrace, watching the sun go down are quite something. The welcome glass of champagne on arrival is also a wonderful touch. This is unfortunately where our compliments cease. Whilst we were in a standard room, which in itself was delightful with Molten Brown toiletries, the walls to these rooms... More

Spent one evening here in one of the newly renovated Terrace Suites. The accommodation was superb and the attention to detail excellent. The underfloor heating was extremely welcome on a cold wintry night. The view to the vineyards and mountains was spectacular. Lunch on the terrace was beautifully prepared and tasty. Dinner was good too but the wines were extremely... More

What more can be said !!!!...........This is in my 'Top Ten' Hotels that I have stayed and dined. Anyone not enjoying all aspects of this Luxury Venue should rethink what it is they need from a Hotel !!!..............This is such a fantastic place to be and stay that it is difficult to describe the attributes of the Grande Roche Hotel...

Have wanted to stay here for some time now having dined here before. Was not disappointed with the room, quality of service and above all the friendliness of the staff - from reception through to restaurant and sommelier !!! Dined in Bosmans twice - once for the tasting menu and once a la carte - both times really enjoyable with... More
