The Grande Roche of Paarl has become a legend on the local hospitality scene for having won such a formidable array of awards and culinary accolades since its opening in January 1992.

This gem of South Africa is set on a gentle slope overlooking vineyards and rugged mountains. The manor house and its sprawl of individually decorated suites are a gentle alternative to the hurly-burly of big city life.

It is the hotel’s subtle attention to detail that sets it apart from the rest. Grande Roche won the Hotel of the Year award for its incredible attention to detail, impeccable grounds, excellent food and superb levels of luxury.
