Grande Roche Hotel
Paarl, South Africa
Grande Roche Hotel
In the heart of the Cape Winelands
An immaculately restored Dutch homestead with an award-winning restaurant, Grande Roche Hotel is set in immaculately manicured gardens in the famous Paarl wine region. With gourmet dining, an informal bistro, two outdoor pools and spa treatments, this is an exceptional base from which to discover the region’s very best Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec wines.
Surrounded by vineyards and with an impressive mountain backdrop, Grande Roche Hotel’s setting is truly stunning. The ambiance here is undeniably luxurious yet there is a relaxed and welcoming feel. The service is second-to-none with a knowledgeable and efficient staff.
Do try a private wine tasting session with the in-house Sommelier, as Grande Roche Hotel has an extremely well-stocked wine cellar of vintage wines and champagnes. Make the most of the surrounding countryside and go mountain biking or horse riding. For more leisurely pursuits, visit a nearby wine estate and return for a special dinner in Bosman’s Restaurant.
