The hotel

In the style of a private manor house, the property dates back to 1668 but today offers discerning guests the ultimate in luxury. Effortlessly combining elegance with modern comfort, it also boasts a glorious location. Set against a backdrop of the Klein Dassenberg Mountains, no matter what window you’re standing at, the views are breathtaking! As well as a swimming pool to lounge by, there’s a wellness centre and a gym. Alternatively, explore your surrounds by bicycle or on horseback. Set in the wine region, food and drink is, of course, vitally important. Miko offers fine dining in every aspect with each and every dish a work of art. Country Kitchen is more relaxed, perfect for an al fresco lunch or cosy starlit dinner. Before you decide which wine to drink with your meal, visit the tasting room, there’s a huge variety on offer, many from the Mont Rochelle vineyard itself.

Everyone took the Covid protocol very seriously, which made my first trip abroad feel safe and my health respected.

Second stay here. The hotel is lovely and the living spaces are gorgeous but the rooms need an soft upgrade - something more funky and modern. Lacking in the innovation and special touches that other hotels are offering right now. Breakfast was delicious. Staff are very efficient and friendly - a pleasure to deal with.

My whole family stayed at the Manor house for a weekend to celebrate my mothers birthday. We were blown away, not only at the spectacular house and setting, but at the staff who made every effort to make this weekend so special. Big thank you to Peter in particular, who looked after us so well. Could not recommend this more highly to anyone… Read more

Mont Rochelle is a world class establishment. from the time you enter the gate to reception. Professionalism is what they specialise in. Their attention to detail is unparalleled. it is more than value for money. the beautiful manicured garden. The beautiful breakfast area with natural light and beautiful furniture and decor. the food is delicious and area extra clean. The rooms are luxurious and spacious. Room 28 is a private spot with private pool and we enjoyed it. transfers to amenities close by is made easy. Staff is friendly and go an extra mile. The " we can" attitude is a bonus. We were treated like royalty both times. They even remembered what we liked the first time. Place is tranquil and the Spa is world class Read less
