No doubt that the Grande Roche is a top class hotel but I have to agree with some other reviwers that you can have nicer rooms for much lower price in the SA. Nevertheless I must point out: Of course you can, but not in the Wine country and definitely not with restaurant of such a class! The place itself,... more

We stayed at the Grande Roche for the first part of our honeymoon. It is an understatement to say that it was a PERFECT place, but I do not know how to better describe it in one word. We flew from Atlanta to Cape town, and to be honest, the flight was not bad at all. Surprisingly enough the Delta... more

we had our wedding at the Grande Roche and went a few days early to relax pre-event. the honeymoon suite was wonderful. the grounds are impeccably maintained. the housekeeping staff are extremely responsive and thorough. everybody was super friendly and attentive. the only criticism I can think of is that the gym facilities are a bit meagre (but since most... more

We stayed at the hotel a while back for my partner's birthday. The hotel offers gourmet wine evenings in the winter combined with an overnight stay in the hotel self. We booked one of these specials. We have been to the Grande Roche before for lunch on Sundays, but have always wanted to stay over. The hotel is beautifully located... more

We drove up to the Grande Roche in the Winelands for a weekend stay during an extended trip to Cape Town; hiring a car from the centre and paying a little extra for sat nav (def recommend getting). From the moment we drove up to the hotel everything was exceptional! The friendly staff took care of our luggage and car,... more

My family spent two nights at the Grande Roche in December 2007, just before the New Year. The location for exploring the Winelands is ideal. We rented a car and found it very easy to guide ourselves to varius sights in the area. We had asked the Grande Roche to arrange a wine tour for us with a private guide.... more

We decided to have our wedding at this hotel after many weeks of investigating similar properties in the winelands area. I am happy to say we made the right decision. Myself and my new wife are regular travellers and always stay in luxury hotels but this hotel tops the list. The hotel itself is an immaculate former Dutch homestead and... more

There's much to love about the Grande Roche. The property gives unparalleled views of the winelands. The conversion of this former family farm to a luxury property was magnificently done. The setup of the rooms is luxurious and intuitive, and the maid and valet service was fantastic. The staff and services are physically set up to potentially blow guests away.... more

We reserved a room in Grande Roche only for 2 nights, since we knew from previous experiences in South Afrfica that there wasn't much in Paarl. We have since discovered that Grande Roche is one very good reason to visit the town. From the moment we parked our car, the service was superb. The check-in procedure, served with a smile... more
