Mont Rochelle Hotel and Mountain Vineyards

Experience French Corner of the Cape,the food and wine capital of South Africa.

Mont Rochelle, a stunning 26 bedroom hotel and vineyard just under an hour’s drive from Cape Town in the town of Franschhoek in South Africa. Franschhoek is a traditional vineyard town in the Western Cape Province famously known as the French Corner of the Cape and is considered to be the food and wine capital of South Africa.
Escape to this picturesque corner of South Africa at the foot of the Klein Dassenberg Mountain Range for relaxation and a superb culinary experience accompanied by some outstanding wines.
The property is just under an hour’s drive from Cape Town and is within 35 minutes’ drive of the Stellenbosch, Paarl and Somerset West wine routes.
Don’t forget South Africa’s position in the southern hemisphere means the warmest months are from November to March, however the average daytime high rarely drops below 15°C/60°F. Many visitors to South Africa choose to combine a trip to the Cape-Region with a safari experience in the country’s northeast.

The grounds at Mont Rochelle cover 39 hectares (about 100 acres) and you’re welcome to go exploring.

A favourite activity for many of our guests is having a picnic on the estate – our kitchen can arrange a well-stocked picnic basket with a chilled bottle of wine (or two!). There are two restaurants, a cosy bar, a spa, a gym and a heated outdoor pool. That’s not forgetting a 37 hectare vineyard and wine .

Mont Rochelle has 26 rooms and suites. We have five different types of rooms including four Shiraz Rooms with king-size beds all featuring courtyard or valley views. Our six Merlot Rooms are larger than our Shiraz Rooms and also boast king-size beds with valley views. The six Cabernet Rooms include a private terrace overlooking the valley. There are also four even more spacious Pinotage Suites, which each feature a separate lounge and fantastic views. Finally, guests staying in our two largest rooms, our Cap Classique Suites, will enjoy a separate lounge area, a private terrace and their own plunge pool. Then there is four rooms and suites at The Manor House which is located close to the Vineyard and Country Kitchen. All rooms can be made up with twin beds on request. All rooms come with Africology branded bathroom amenities, tea and coffee facilities, a notepad and pen, postcards with stamps, laundry bag, a safety deposit box, hairdryer, a well-stocked minibar, plug adaptor and umbrella.
Children are very welcome to stay at Mont Rochelle year-round and we have some rooms which are able to accommodate children on single beds.
