The Manor House comfortably sleeps eight adults and boasts a cosy bunkroom that can sleep up to six children. Throughout your stay you can enjoy the stunning views, spacious common areas, kitchen, outdoor heated swimming pool and gym, not to mention the services of a chef who can prepare meals from the villa’s dedicated kitchen.
You are welcome to treat the Manor House as you would your own home, but you’ll still enjoy the service you’d expect from a luxury hotel.
All bedrooms include an en-suite bathroom with bath, shower and double vanity units. Heating and air conditioning is provided in all bedrooms.
The communal area is an impressive open plan space which includes a kitchen with double fridge freezer, an oven and breakfast bar. The large dining table can seat up to 12 guests. There are two sitting areas in the Manor House.
The Games room is the perfect place to spend time with family and friends and to also get involved in some competitive snooker table tournaments.

Experiences
Wine Tasting & Cellar Visits
Wine tastings can be organised in a variety of locations, including in Miko Restaurant, at our bar, at the Country Kitchen and in our 150 year old wine cellar.
Franschoek Wine Tram
A great way to discover the Franschoek Valley is by the famous wine tram! This is a hop-on, hop-off service offering picturesque vineyards, beautiful scenery, fine wines, and world class cuisine as you travel. Here guests will have the chance to visit some of South Africa’s oldest and most distinguished wine estates travelling on an open air tram. Mont Rochelle is a stop on one of the Wine Tram Routes, so guests can book the other route to sample more of the area’s vineyards.
The Spa at Mont Rochelle
What could be more relaxing than an indulgent spa treatment? We use the eco-friendly Africology ‘Authentic’ range of products which are made from 100% essential oils and natural plant extracts. Browse the menu and book a treatment here.
Biking
There are some wonderful routes that make it easy to explore the surrounding area on bike . We can arrange rentals with a local company, just let us know and we can book these for you.
Hiking
Enjoy a hike through hills, valleys and vineyards surrounding the hotel, as well as in local reserves. The Mont Rochelle Reserve on the opposite side of the valley offers superb views of the wine valley and on a clear day you can even see Table Mountain and the ocean!
The walks vary in length from 3 to 8 hours and are of moderate intensity. Required permits and maps are available from the Tourism Office in the centre of town. You are welcome to take walks through our farm and our only request is that you stay on the walkways, thus preserving the fragile vines that produce our splendid wines.
Tennis Courts
We have an Astroturf floodlit tennis court and a cabana complete with a kitchen and bathroom. Racquets and balls supplied.
Note: Some experiences are included in the rate, and some are at an additional cost. Details will be provided.
