Mont Rochelle is Sir Richard Branson's stunning South African hotel and vineyard, spread over 100 acres of the sun-dappled western cape winelands and less than an hour from Cape Town. Centred around a beautiful thatched roof manor house, the hotel is boutique in style and the vibe is friendly and informal, with ample opportunity to sample the sublime wines and world-class gastronomy of the Franschhoek region. Walking trails wind their way through the scenery and once you’ve finished exploring this beautiful region, you can pamper yourself at the spa which comes complete with a hammam and heated pool.

In the town of Franschhoek, set amongst beautiful hills and vineyards and 35 minutes from the Stellenbosch, Paarl and Somerset West wine routes.

Rooms are all well appointed with air-conditioning, a king size bed, flat screen TV, BOSE bluetooth speaker system, Nespresso coffee machine and complimentary mini bar. Each of the room categories has a private terrace and is named after a variety of grape - choose between Shiraz Rooms with courtyard or valley views or the spacious Merlot and Cabernet rooms, each with fabulous views of the surrounding valleys. The four Pinotage Suites and two Cap Classique Suites each include their own separate lounge and the Cap Classique Suites also have their own plunge pool.
