Grande Roche Estate

The Grande Roche is a wonderful place with such kind, happy and thoughtful management and staff. In particular thank you to Marchello, Denai and Veena for making my stay so comfortable - you are wonderful people! The whole vibe is very chilled and friendly. The views out onto the grounds and vineyards are stunning - the landscaping and gardening give a sense of luxury and connection with nature. I really loved the sense of calm. The room was beautful, and the breakfast was delicious with plenty of cooked to order choices, and I will miss dining next to the fire in the evenings - the chef was amazing! Thank you to all the staff at Grande Roche - keep up the amazing work!

We got married at the little chapel at the Grande Roche Hotel in 2015 and returned to celebrate our ten year wedding anniversary. Everything was absolutely perfect! From our beautiful Heritage room to the pristine grounds and the exquisite food. The staff were professional and attentive; we were met by a porter and a staff member to guise us to reception before we had even parked. It was lovely to see our wedding plaque still in the chapel. The views from the terrace are stunning. The welcome bottle of wine and cake with the turndown service were very much appreciated. We had a wonderful time reliving our special day. Can't wait to come back again!

WARNING!!!! SERIOUS SAFETY & PRIVACY FAILURES- Do Not stay here This property may be visually stunning, but do not be fooled: behind the scenery is 2-star service, gross mismanagement, and deeply concerning breaches of guest safety and trust. At over $500 per night, this was not just disappointing — it was unacceptable. Hotel staff entered our room and went through our CLOSED suitcases and personal belongings WITHOUT permission, repacking and reorganizing our items. This was not requested, authorized, or even disclosed beforehand. This is a SERIOUS SAFETY, PRIVACY, and SECURITY violation. Guests should NEVER have to worry about who is handling their personal effects, passports, valuables, or private items. Allowing incompetent and unsupervised staff to rummage through closed luggage demonstrates a COMPLETE BREAKDOWN in internal controls and guest protection. This incident alone would justify walking out — but the failures continued. The room lost electricity in 96°F (35°C+) heat, leaving us in an uninhabitable room with no air conditioning. Despite two phone calls, staff took 45 minutes to respond, showing zero urgency. This level of indifference is dangerous, not merely inconvenient. Basic amenities were equally substandard. Water pressure was weak and unreliable, something no hotel charging luxury prices — should tolerate. Management and rhe ownerss response was as POOR as the service itself. The manager did not proactively reach out, (we had to go to him through the restaurant staff) and did not check on us, and did not demonstrate leadership. After all of this we received a lukewarm apology. There was no offer of a refund, no meaningful compensation, and no accountability. The final “resolution” offered for privacy violations, power failure in extreme heat, and systemic mismanagement? A free hat and an offer for a future upgrade to a hotel we will never visit again! An insult rather than a remedy. Luxury hospitality is built on trust, discretion, responsiveness, and SAFETY . This hotel fails on all four counts. A beautiful location cannot compensate for inept, inexperienced management and staff who are either poorly trained or improperly supervised. Until there is a serious overhaul of management and operational standards, this hotel does not deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as true 5-star properties. I would strongly caution future guests — particularly those concerned about PRIVACY , security, or BASIC SAFETY — to look elsewhere

Simply blew us away! Was not expecting such grandeur:luxury and a team that makes you feel special!|The food is best in class - just way too much food and this was the same for everything, so my only feedback would be serve half the portions - as we really sent back food both days as it was 3 times what is generally served.|The rooms are tastefully furnished - world class incredibly beautiful Egyptian linen, grand bathrooms and definitely worth every cent and more!|We will definitely be back- the main road is a mere 5 minute walk with quaint restaurants/ bars and coffee shops if you want to wander outside.

The staff welcomed us warmly and provided attentive service throughout our stay. The rooms are spacious, combining coziness with elegant design. The cozy and functional lounge invites for a longer stay where it is easy to linger and unwind or to comfortably work away from home.|The entire property, with its stunning facilities, is a visual delight. every corner and scenic view feels like the perfect spot for a memorable photo. We loved our stay.

We were on a weekend trip and wanted lunch. When we stumbled on this hidden treasure we were truly amazed. |The atmosphere in the dining area was cozy on a cold rainy day. |We were warmly welcomed at the door and shown to our table. |The service was as expected at a 5 star, impeccable. |Then came the real surprise, the food was absolutely outstanding. Just the right portions and explosive flavor |We will be back

Easy access and very friendly and helpful staff. Do not know pricing of accomodations. However very beautiful and restful.

I consider myself lucky to have spent a night at this establishment. A world class hotel with the best service and views in the region. Accommodation: stunning rooms, with a warm mix of Cape Dutch and modernisms in the bathroom. Service: staff were friendly and attentive from the moment we arrived till we left, they are professional and help maker your stay so much more comfortable. Food: we chose to eat at the hotel's main restaurant, sadly, this did not live up to expectations. I tried the Cape Beam, which was quite average and found that the flavours on the plate just did not make sense. The same for the lamb, a small portion with textures and flavours that did not work. They do have a great wine list. The breakfast is absolutely delicious and I highly recommend the Farmers Breakfast. Will definitely head back there.
