The most exquisite experience in the Winelands

Discerning travelers seeking a serene base for visiting the Cape Winelands need not look beyond Grande Roche in Paarl.  This five-star hotel boasts a prime location and, as a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World, assures visitors the highest quality in culinary experiences.

Paarl is located at 45 minutes from Cape Town and 30 minutes from the prominent Winelands regions of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek.  The area features numerous acclaimed restaurants, vineyards, and golf courses; yet, if you seek the finest in varietals and gastronomy, you need not venture outside the property.  At Bosman’s Restaurant, a sommelier is available to suggest wines that will best enhance the cuisine crafted by Michelin-trained Executive Chef Roland Gorgosilich.

Grande Roche is located on an operational wine estate at the base of Paarl Rock, offering views of the region’s undulating vineyards.  The structures were formerly an antiquated farmhouse and slave quarters, now elegantly converted into 28 luxury suites.  Recommendation: for enhanced privacy, reserve the Garden Suite (once the farm stables), which includes a private Jacuzzi, terrace, and patio.
