Part Western Cape glamour, part English eccentric. The kind of place where wooden-beam ceilings overlook statues of sheep. Where Warhol-esque paintings of Mandela hang next to ceramic bulldogs. It's owned by Sir Richard Branson, and comes with Virgin Limited Edition's stamp of quality. It sits on its own private estate (ideal for picnics), with epic views across the Franschhoek Valley. The Farmhouse Kitchen is fabulous for wine tasting and deli-style lunches. And we're very excited about the private Manor House - perfect for families and people searching for a little seclusion.
The vibe here is one of indulgence and relaxation. From the décor of the huge rooms to the variety of spa treatments, via the gourmet food and world-class wines, Mont Rochelle is a 21st Century luxury property which never forgets that it is African.
