Mont Rochelle Hotel
Set on a hill above the historic village of Franschhoek, Mont Rochelle is a small luxurious hotel and winery with fabulous sweeping views of the surrounding vineyards and mountains. Fruit and wine have been cultivated here since the 18th century when French Huguenots - many of them winemakers - fled to the Cape to escape religious persecution in France. The thatch-roofed property was completely refurbished in the late 1990s to create this gracious and relaxing retreat.
