The exclusive Manor House captures that ‘home away from home’ feel whilst allowing guests to indulge in all the luxury of a hotel stay. The Manor House is a beautiful four-bedroom villa located at Mont Rochelle in the heart of Franschhoek’s Klein Dassenberg mountain range and available for exclusive use year round. Just a short walk from the main hotel and a stone’s throw from our winery, the Manor House is ideal for families or small groups looking to escape to the winelands. The villa 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.
At The Country Kitchen, savour the beautiful surroundings of the Mont Rochelle estate as you sample the hearty and fresh dishes the restaurant offers which are all made with locally sourced ingredients. Or explore the estate with a gourmet picnic for two which showcases delicious South African fare and award-winning Mont Rochelle wines.
MIKO’s cuisine is best described as a taster of South African favourites with each of the seasonal dishes telling a story, using the freshest most local ingredients, which pair beautifully with our award-winning wine list. With its covered terrace, you have the option of dining alfresco all year round.
At Mont Rochelle wine tasting isn’t just a special event – it’s an everyday occurrence. Wine tastings can be organised in a variety of locations, including in Miko Restaurant, at the bar, at the Country Kitchen and in the wine cellar. The 150 year old wine cellar was previously used as a fruit packing shed for the early settlers. Since being converted to a traditional wine cellar Mont Rochelle can now process close to 150 tons of grapes in a season, and these smaller volumes afford more concentration on quality rather than quantity. Stainless steel tanks aid in the making of the crisp clean whites, while barrels are favoured for the red wine making.
Take a dip and relax in the main outdoor heated swimming pool at Mont Rochelle - there are some fantastic views of the Franschhoek Mountains. Bar service is available around the pool and fresh pool towels are available.
What could be more relaxing than a spa treatment during your stay? Mont Rochelle has two dedicated spa treatment rooms as well as a Hammam. They use the eco-friendly Africology ‘Authentic’ range of products which are made from 100% essential oils and natural plant extracts. Resident guests are welcome to make use of the Hammam at their leisure as long as it’s not in use for a scheduled treatment.
There are some wonderful routes that make it easy to explore the surrounding area on bike.
Enjoy a hike through the hills, valleys and vineyards surrounding the hotel, as well as in local reserves. The Mont Rochelle Nature 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.

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.
