A Grand Welcome to the Grande Roche Hotel

Stepping onto the grounds of the Grande Roche Hotel feels like entering a world of timeless elegance and refined luxury. The historical monument turned 5 star hotel, exudes an air of sophistication that immediately captivates its visitors. Greeted by the friendliest faces and impeccable service, we meandered through the meticulously manicured gardens and serene pathways that surrounded the historic Cape Dutch buildings to our rooms, which transported us to a bygone era of gracious, unhurried living.
From their Heritage and Garden Suites to their Legacy Rooms, their accommodation preserves its historical background while still being the epitome of luxury for anyone who has the pleasure of spending the night. Our couples were all treated to the most stunning suites to spend the weekend in as well as treated to a complimentary bottle of wine as a welcome gift from the Grande Roche Hotel team.

The royal treatment didn’t stop there! Hosted in the Manor House, we were treated to the most divine and delicious breakfast experience. With a menu to tantalize the tastebuds, we were spoiled for choice when it comes to breakfast options, and we had the pleasure of enjoying the finest food as well as the freshly brewed coffee and juices. With a feast as fantastic as this, we couldn’t agree more that breakfast is the most important meal of the day!
From the enchanting beauty of the surroundings to the stellar service and attention to detail, every element of the Grande Roche Hotel creates an experience that leaves an indelible mark on all those who have the privilege of being a part of it.
