Adrian Chi Meng
Great staff, wonderful grounds but rooms are a little tired looking.
Milad
Vineyard was beautiful and all the wine and fruits were delicious.
Neil
Room spotless and really well appointed, you couldn’t want for anything. The hotel overall is very good, the grounds, hotel staff service and friendliness were impeccable. The shuttle service to different vineyards and into town was also unexpected, but essential. I am dropping one star for a rather fundamental flaw. The restaurant MIKO is sub par, food quality and presentation were unacceptable at the price point. For this standard of deluxe accommodation the food offering and restaurant service need a significant uplift. On this basis I would recommend shopping around for alternative hotels, but this should certainly be in your top 3. This feedback was also provided directly to the manager upon checkout.
Shelby
We had the most incredible stay at Mont Rochelle! We were staying for our honeymoon and it was our first stay in our 2 week trip and now that the 2 weeks is up I can confidently say that we stayed in 4 5* hotels during our stay in Cape Town and Mont Rochelle was by far the best, a league above the rest. We were very kindly upgraded to a suite for our honeymoon, the most beautiful room with the most incredible view of the mountains and surrounding landscape. The amenities and views with this room were brilliant, we cannot fault it, being upgraded to this beautiful room just gave us the most amazing start to our honeymoon, we were on cloud 9. The breakfast was lovely, food very fresh, we particularly enjoyed the yogurt and compote each morning with fresh fruit. We had the tasting menu at Miko which was incredible.
The staff were incredible, all staff we encountered were very friendly, welcoming and couldn’t do enough to help, Winston who attended the pool bar was very attentive and friendly and always making sure we had what we needed. Sia who drove the transfers into the town was also very friendly and welcoming, sharing recommendations and knowledge about the surrounding area.
this hotel really goes the extra mile to make this a special stay for guests
This hotel is an experience in itself, it is the perfect hotel for honeymoon because you don’t have to even travel out of the hotel to get amazing relaxing experiences,
William J
Sheer class from the moment we arrived until we left.
Ugonna
We stayed at Mont Rochelle for our 3 year wedding anniversary trip, and it was truly unforgettable. When planning, we narrowed our choices down to La Residence or Mont Rochelle, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. From the moment we arrived, we immediately felt the warmth and hospitality of the team.
A special mention goes to Peter, whose energy and enthusiasm could be felt from the moment we met him—you could hear his voice from across the property, and his positivity instantly set the tone for our stay. He not only made us feel welcome but also gave us excellent recommendations for local wineries and even arranged a fantastic dinner reservation at Leeu Estate, which was a highlight of our trip.
The property itself is absolutely stunning—surrounded by vineyards and mountains, it feels like a serene escape. Our room was beautiful and thoughtfully prepared with anniversary goodies from the manager, Annette, who also took the time to personally greet us at breakfast, which made the experience feel even more special.
Every detail, from the attentive service to the relaxed yet elegant vibe, made our stay exceptional. We left feeling so cared for and already can’t wait to return—perhaps in the summer or during harvest season to experience Mont Rochelle in a different light.

This has to be one of my favourite hotels ever. Richard Branson does not disappoint with his focus on customer service and the details that elevate your stay. We were greeted with a cocktail and a tour of the facilities which included tennis courts, a gym, a pool and a spa. The rooms were stunning with a massive soaker tub and floor to ceiling doors opening to a private deck with a swing chair and loungers overlooking the hills of Franschook.
There was a beautiful dining room overlooking the vineyards and breakfast was included with a large buffet and an à la carte menu. After Check out we were encouraged to stay and enjoy the property as long as we wished. We even rearranged our itinerary so we could spend more time there. The staff were very attentive and made us feel that anything we asked was possible.

Blissful time!
We had an amazing time at Mont Rochelle, we didn't need to think or lift a finger. The staff were always on hand to assist and help plan things, including wine tastings, dinner / lunch and much much more. We will definitely be going back one day!

Great hotel in a fab location.
Wonderful experience after the last hotel we stayed at. Friendly welcome, and the room and pool were as described. The photos were an accurate representation, unlike Steenberg Hotel and Spa hotel in Constantia. View of mountains from room is spectacular.
Arlene
Property stay was good but for same money (or little less) we preferred our stay and quality of accommodation at Les Cle Lodge/Village. It is also nearer to town.
Michael
Stunning property in amazing location.
Gorgeous hotel in stunning location, staff offer good customer service. Breakfast a bit underwhelming in terms of scope & quality. Hotel bar lacked atmosphere as very quiet.

A fabulous hotel with wonderful staff. Best view ever from the pool.

Honeymoon Stay- Mont Rochelle
We stayed at Mont Rochelle for the second stop of our honeymoon. We had previously come from Cape Town, and it was an easy one hour ish drive/Uber into Franschhoek. This place is absolutely gorgeous!!! We came during the winter months and the sunset over the vineyards and mountains were stunning. The hotel staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. The customer service here was top of the line. We were checked in by Peter and he helped us map our the activities and transportation required while we were staying at the hotel. The hotel offers a complimentary shuttle that runs certain times of the day. This was such a great feature, as Ubers aren’t as common out in the winery areas. The check in process alone was so special, we checked in seated by the fire place, with a hot towel, and a glass of champagne. The staff truly made us feel special throughout our entire stay. The lobby has an old hotel kitty that hangs out and he is so cute and sleeps all day long by the fire. I want to be that kitty when I grow up. The rooms were so clean and decorated really well. We had one of the rooms on the main level that looked out to the mountains. The view alone was spectacular. We highly recommend staying at Mont Rochelle. You must stay here when visiting Franschhoek.
Darren
Fabulous luxury stay. Every member of staff was so helpful and welcoming
william
Mont Rochelle is truly a hidden gem. The staff are superb always welcoming and so helpful giving advice and ideas for planning your day. The free shuttle into town was a real bonus. We had a fantastic stay thank you to all staff at the Mont Rochelle.

too expensive
The hotel and the rooms were nice but over priced
Paul
What didn't I like, everything was exceptional ad above and beyond expectations!
Check-in was the best ever so relaxing & calming.
The property and rooms are brilliant but what makes this place so exceptional was the friendliness of the staff.
Make sure you let Darren & the team plan your wine tours they truly know what they are doing!

This is an amazing hotel in an amazing area.The staff were extremely helpful and we would strongly recommend this hotel.we were also given an upgrade which was extremely kind and hope to return again this year.Nothing to do with the hotel but the Franchoek vineyard tram wine tour is excellent and good way to look around the area helped by a free transfer from the hotel to the town.

The hotel is amazing and the view is stunning. The breakfast was delicious with lots of choices, and the complimentary wine tasting was excellent. The service is incredible, in particular Peter and James, the hotel managers. Overall, one of the nicest hotels we have stayed in.

Totally FABULOUS. Peter & Adam at the front desk are superlative. You need to borrow an iPhone charger? They GIVE you one!
You are greeted with “Welcome home, plus champagne and a sofa, not a desk & credit card machine. A dinner reservation has already been made for you.
The minibar is included as are a jar of cookies, two bars of chocolate, and even the bath rubber duckie is yours to keep. Shuttle service to restaurants & wineries is free & quick. Breakfast and the breakfast setting is to die for.
Our modern oval bedroom, one of the most affordable units, had a balcony and step down to a rose & orchid garden, outdoor chess patio, herb garden and gazebo. The view was overlooking the town, grape fields, and dramatic mountains.
The buildings are thatched roof, and stucco exterior in a French country motif. This place gets an 11 out of 10, with absolutely no negatives.
