Welcome to Mont Rochelle, a stunning 26 bedroom hotel and vineyard just under an hour’s drive from Cape Town in the town of Franschhoek in South Africa. Franschhoek is a traditional vineyard town in the Western Cape Province famously known as the French Corner of the Cape and is considered to be the food and wine capital of South Africa. The property is just under an hour’s drive from Cape Town and is within 35 minutes’ drive of the Stellenbosch, Paarl and Somerset West wine routes. We can arrange transfers either from the city or from Cape Town International Airport, or if you are coming by car it’s an easy drive to the property.

Located on a hillock that provides a great vantage of the mountain-surrounded valley of picturesque Franschhoek. A 39-ha working wine farm, and as such feels like a country retreat, yet it’s a 30-minute stroll to Franschhoek’s pretty high street, rammed with galleries, boutiques, restaurants and the popular wine tram.
