Exclusive use
Your private estate awaits
Imagine Mont Rochelle with no one else on it. Just you, the people you love, and a hillside of vines rolling down towards the Franschhoek valley.
Whether it’s a gathering years in the making or simply the chance to be together for a while, this is a place to slow down and share. From the hotel to the Manor House, from the vineyards to the last light on the mountains, it’s all yours. Long lunches turn into golden evenings, and every corner of the estate feels like home.
The hotel
Close the doors behind you, and the hotel is yours. Every room and suite, every lounge and terrace, every seat by the pool, reserved for the people you’ve chosen to share it with.
Mornings begin with breakfast in the light-filled restaurant, the vineyards spread out beyond the windows. Days drift between your suite, the sun loungers and quiet corners made for a book and a glass of something cold. As evening falls, the hotel glows warm against the darkening mountains, and dinner becomes a long, unhurried affair.
No schedules but your own. Just a beautifully kept house in the Winelands, and the rare pleasure of calling it yours.
The Manor House
Tucked away from the rest of the estate, the Manor House feels less like a hotel and more like a home you never want to leave. Fewer rooms, deeper quiet, and a sense of privacy that settles in the moment you arrive.
Mornings begin slowly, with coffee on the terrace and the vineyards still waking below. Afternoons are for the garden, a swim, or long conversations that wander wherever they like. When the light fades over the mountains, the house draws in close: lamps lit, glasses filled, the people you love gathered under one roof.
Intimate, unhurried and entirely yours, it’s Mont Rochelle at its most personal.
Things to do
Start the day with a slow wander through the vineyards as the estate wakes around you. Later, spread out a picnic among the vines, or settle into a tasting and get to know the wines grown just beyond the glass.
When you’re ready to venture out, Franschhoek village is moments away: galleries and boutiques, celebrated restaurants and a slower, older rhythm of life. Hop aboard the Wine Tram to neighbouring estates, then head back up the hill as the light turns gold.
Afterwards, slip into the pool, work up an appetite in the gym, or let the spa take over. By evening, the only thing left to plan is dinner.
Food and drink
At Mont Rochelle, every meal is an occasion to linger. Mornings begin with breakfast in the sunshine, the vineyards stretching out beyond the table. Lunch drifts lazily into the afternoon, and evenings bring candlelight, seasonal plates and the hum of good conversation.
Wine is never far away. Pour a glass of something grown on the estate, raise a toast as the sun sinks behind the mountains, and let one more bottle become part of the plan.
