Mont Rochelle Kids
Little Corkers, Big Adventures
At Mont Rochelle, we’re passionate about fine wine, but we’re just as devoted to our youngest guests, lovingly known as our “Little Corkers.” Children of all ages are warmly welcomed and treated to a memorable stay filled with fun, freedom, and adventure.
From splashing in the pool to playing lawn games surrounded by vineyard views, there's something magical for every child to enjoy. While you savour the best of the Cape Winelands, your little ones will be making joyful memories of their own.

Keeping busy
At Mont Rochelle, boredom isn’t on the itinerary. We’ve got a jam-packed lineup of exciting activities to keep your Little Corkers happily entertained from sunrise to sunset. Here’s just a taste of what’s in store:
Foodie Fun: Budding chefs can roll up their sleeves and whip up their very own homemade pizzas or go wild with cupcake decorating. Feeling brave? Test those taste buds in our fruity South African guessing game!
Creative Corner: Let imaginations run free with painting, drawing, or colourful sand art, all inspired by the beauty of our flower-filled herb garden.
Scavenger Hunt: Head off on a garden adventure to uncover hidden treasures among the herbs. Who knows what surprises you’ll find?
Mini Olympics: It’s game time! Compete in hilarious challenges like the egg-and-spoon race or the three-legged dash. It’s all about fun, teamwork, and a little friendly competition.
Grape Expectations: During harvest season (January to March), kids can join our expert stompers to pick grapes and squash them the old-fashioned way, barefoot and full of laughter!
That’s not all. Our pool is packed with inflatables for splashy fun, and the lawn is always ready for games galore. At Mont Rochelle, every day is a new adventure waiting to be discovered.

Family fun in Franschhoek
Franschhoek is full of exciting activities that families can enjoy together amid stunning natural beauty. Kids will love exploring the Franschhoek Motor Museum, where classic cars and fascinating stories bring history to life. For a breath of fresh air and plenty of outdoor adventure, the nearby Mont Rochelle Nature Reserve offers easy hiking trails perfect for little feet, picnic spots, and opportunities to spot local wildlife in their natural habitat.
And for a little extra adventure, set off on a scooter tour through the breathtaking Franschhoek Valley with Scootours, gliding through vineyards and rolling hills. It’s the perfect way to add fun and excitement to your family getaway.

Sweet Dreams
At Mont Rochelle, the adventure doesn’t end when the sun goes down. Our Pinotage and Cap Classique Suites are perfectly suited for families, with comfy single beds ready to tuck in our Little Corkers after a fun-filled day.
But before bedtime, why not wind down with a cosy family film night? Snuggle up in your suite with soft blankets, your favourite family flicks, and a tray of delicious snacks - we’re talking popcorn, hot chocolate, and a few sweet surprises. It’s the perfect way to end the day in comfort, laughter, and a little bit of movie magic.

Babysitting
Need a little grown-up time? We have you covered. We can arrange babysitting, so you can relax and enjoy some well-deserved downtime.

Tasty treats for tiny foodies
We understand that little ones can have big opinions when it comes to food, that’s why at Mont Rochelle, we go the extra mile to make mealtimes as enjoyable (and stress-free!) as possible for the whole family.
Whether your child loves simple classics, prefers something plain, or is feeling adventurous enough to try local flavours, our talented chefs are happy to whip up special, child-friendly dishes tailored exactly to their tastes, ensuring even picky eaters will find something to smile about at the table.
