Welcome to Mont Rochelle, situated in a 100-acre private vineyard amid the rolling hills of Franschhoek – one of the key hubs of the Cape Winelands and the food capital of the beautiful Western Cape of South Africa.
Mont Rochelle is one of the prestigious hotels in Richard Branson's global collection and provides its guests with a luxurious and peaceful retreat just an hour from the engaging and dynamic city of Cape Town.
With just 26 fabulous rooms, you'll also enjoy a gourmet restaurant that showcases the best ingredients that South Africa has to offer. Sample the fine local vintages produced on site, either on a designated tour or enjoy a glass (maybe a bottle?) from the bar.
A stay at Mont Rochelle is not just about wine – besides the heated swimming pool and relaxing spa with hammam, there's plenty of activities to enjoy, from walking or cycling through the surrounding mountains, playing tennis or enjoying a round of golf as there are several courses within a 90-minute drive of the hotel.
Mont Rochelle has what many consider to be the best accommodation in the area – we highly recommend staying for at least two nights to really make the most of the facilities and area.
