Mont Rochelle is a magnificent 26-bedroom hotel and vineyard in the heart of the renowned Franschhoek Valley, known as one of the world's finest wine and cuisine destinations, and as South Africa's food and wine capital.
The estate is approximately 100 acres in size and features two restaurants, a cozy bar, a spa, a gym, a heated outdoor pool, vineyards, and a wine cellar.
The hotel is committed to environmental sustainability and sources fresh, local produce to prepare inspiring cuisine.
The 26 rooms and suites comprise five different room types, each boasting a king-size bed, en-suite bathroom, luxury amenities, a writing desk, and an outside patio or balcony that overlooks the valley or vineyard.
There are four Shiraz Rooms with king-size beds, all featuring courtyard or valley views.
There are six Merlot Rooms, which are larger than the Shiraz Rooms, with king-size beds and valley views.
The six Cabernet Rooms are located in the Vineyard Wing and include private terraces overlooking the valley.
There are four spacious Pinotage Suites, located in both the Manor House and Garden House, each featuring a separate lounge and fantastic views.
The two largest rooms in the hotel are the Cap Classique Suites, which feature a separate lounge area, a private terrace, and their own plunge pool. Both suites are located in the Vineyard Wing.
The Manor House is a luxury villa located a short walk from the main hotel and just a short distance from the Country Kitchen. The perfect option for a family group or guests seeking a more private getaway, the Manor House features four beautifully appointed suites, a kitchen, lounge, two swimming pools, and a gym. The Manor House is available for exclusive hire all year round and can accommodate up to eight guests sharing, plus a bunk room for up to six children.
There are two restaurants at Mont Rochelle. The Country Kitchen connects to the wine cellar and is the ideal place for a light lunch in the sunshine. The main restaurant, Miko, offers fantastic gourmet meals that blend international dishes with healthy South African cuisine.
The hotel bar is the best place to start your evening, offering a selection of refreshing cocktails that you can enjoy on the terrace overlooking the vineyards—an ideal spot to take in the sunset.
A favorite activity for many guests is picnicking on the estate. The kitchen can arrange a well-stocked picnic basket, complete with a chilled bottle of wine, to enjoy while taking in the breathtaking views of the vineyards and rolling valley.
Mont Rochelle is ideal for solo travelers, couples, and families looking for a luxurious Winelands experience.

Exceptional travel agent and overall experience!!
Leigh Ann was an exceptional travel agent who went above and beyond to make our trip to Kruger National Park, Victoria Falls, and Chobe unforgettable. Her recommendations were spot-on, and what made the experience even better was her personal perspective—insights you simply won’t find online. She shared tips that added so much value to our trip and made everything feel more meaningful. Leigh Ann was available anytime we had questions, which made us feel completely supported throughout the trip. From the initial planning stages to our return, every detail was seamless and perfectly coordinated. If you’re planning a trip to Africa, I highly recommend Leigh Ann. She truly gave us a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you, Leigh Ann!

3-nights Zambia trip
I would start by saying before I started talking to Leigh-Ann Croeser I knew I wanted to go on this 3-nights adventure in Zambia with my family towards the end of this year, but I did not have any idea of how to go about planning it, thankfully Leigh-Ann responded immediately to my enquiry. Ever since I started communicating with her, she has been a very friendly, professional, knowledgeable, awesome Luxury Safari consultant who came through for me in every step of this process. She offered great advice and did a great job in customizing our itinerary and put my mind at ease in the process. She always responded quickly and gave me great advise when I needed. We are so looking forward to going on this adventure. I want to thank her from the bottom of my heart;) Thembi Coleman and her family

I tried setting everything up myself
I tried setting everything up myself, but ran into a few hiccups. Less than an hour after reaching out to them in the late afternoon from overseas, I had a response. Leigh-Ann Croeser was quick to help me with all my lodging/ transport/ and special dietary plan needs. I'm looking forward to taking my special someone to this amazing place!

Anja at Safari.com was a great partner to work with!
Working with Anja at Safari.com was great. She was able to work some magic and got us a few nights at the safari lodge we really wanted, Ngoma. Unfortunately, our flight from the USA to South Africa was canceled and we were rebooked a day later but Anja was great about making sure our lodge and the transports knew about the change in plans and made sure we got to our trip as soon as we could. She was a great partner to have and communicated quickly whenever we reached out. I would highly recommend using her when planning a trip to Africa!
