Had a boss stay here! The views were proper stunning, and the service was sound, with staff remembering the little things. Only downside was the quieter dining options weren't open during my visit. But overall, can't wait to come back!

The Terrace Suite offered stunning vineyard views, but the dining options were limited during my stay.

The attention to detail in customer service was remarkable, exemplified when staff remembered my meal preferences during my stay.

The noise from the nearby generator during load-shedding was quite disruptive, especially in the mornings.

breathtaking views from the restaurant patio, beautifully decorated premises, spacious rooms with all expected luxuries

The outside generator disturbing peaceful mornings!!! Additional checks on room cleanliness needed. Should address noise issues to improve guest comfort!!!

The staff’s attention to detail was remarkable, especially at breakfast where they remembered my preferences.

The room I was in had two twin beds pushed together, which was not as comfortable as having a proper king bed.

The breakfast spread was a delight, showcasing fresh seasonal fruits and other culinary finds that left our taste buds dancing. The atmosphere at the manor house restaurant and the beautiful gardens added to a fantastic dining experience.

excellent access to parks and local attractions for weekend strolls

my stay was marked by a fantastic welcome with a glass of bubbly on arrival, and the nearby Paarl Mountain Nature Reserve, just over 2 km away, provided a beautiful backdrop for walking and exploring, making it easy to enjoy the stunning views and hiking trails during my weekend getaway.

What they don’t tell you

The enchanting atmosphere is undeniable, with stunning vineyard views and delightful breakfasts attended by friendly staff. A spacious suite awaits you, with a magical setting that makes you feel cherished. The restaurant does not disappoint, serving exquisite dishes that tantalize the senses.

The views from the hotel were absolutely breathtaking, especially the soft pink glow on the mountains during sunset. The room retained a lot of character and the recently upgraded bathroom was a pleasant surprise. Staff attention stood out. they remembered my meal preferences and overall made my stay feel special. I did encounter a minor issue with the noise from the generator during the mornings, which disrupted the peaceful atmosphere I was hoping for. dinner did not live up to the hotel's renowned reputation—more improvement is needed to match the high standards of the other services provided. Despite these hiccups, I would definitely return for the stunning scenery and welcoming vibe.

Dining with stunning vineyard views

Our stay at Grande Roche Hotel was nothing short of magical. The staff greeted us warmly, and the dining experience was phenomenal, especially with the breathtaking views of the surrounding vineyards. Every day began with a delightful breakfast, featuring fresh seasonal fruits that were a feast for the senses.

Unfortunately, our peaceful mornings were slightly disrupted by an early-rising generator due to load shedding. It was a bit jarring to wake up when the generator kicked in at 6:30 AM, which marred an otherwise serene experience.

do recommend for a weekend stopover

Charming estate, beautiful setting, with stunning views of the vineyards and mountains and a delightful breakfast menu featuring fresh seasonal ingredients that really enhanced my stay.

No negatives to mention.

the breakfast menu is diverse and beautifully presented with seasonal ingredients. wifi connection was frustrating, requiring frequent logins.

Great room with air conditioning, but Wi-Fi connection was weak sometimes.
