Vineyard Hotel at the Foot of the Klein Dassenberg

Mont Rochelle is a hotel on its own working wine estate above Franschhoek, at the foot of the Klein Dassenberg range. Vines and mountains fill the view, MIKO serves the meals, and tastings of the estate’s wines can be booked. Cape Town is just under an hour away.

Looking for a step above luxury, then Mont Rochelle will not disappoint! The suites are spacious with stunning views of the mountains and vineyards. Walking amongst the vineyards and taking in the unspoiled scenery soothes the mind and soul. One feels spoiled with all the attention to detail, and the dining with their excellent wines is next level – a must experience!

Overview of Mont Rochelle

Mont Rochelle’s vineyards climb the hillside above Franschhoek, below the peaks of the Cape Winelands.

Location & Setting

The estate looks out over the valley, and the village’s cellar doors, galleries and restaurants are a short drive down the hill.

Rooms

The rooms are named after wines: Shiraz and Merlot rooms, Cabernet Rooms with terraces, four Pinotage Suites and the Cap Classique Suites, each with a private terrace and plunge pool. All of them look over the estate, with good linen and a style that takes its cue from the vineyards.

For families or groups, the four-bedroom Manor House is a private villa about ten minutes’ walk from the hotel, close to the winery, with two heated pools of its own. The Stellenbosch, Paarl and Somerset West wine routes are all within about 35 minutes’ drive. Mont Rochelle belongs to Virgin Limited Edition.

Facilities

The lounge has fireplaces, the outdoor pool is set in lawns, and there is a spa and a small gym. MIKO serves seasonal South African dishes and, while The Country Kitchen is being refurbished, also hosts lunch and wine tastings.
