Grande Roche
(Winelands - South Africa)
General area and lodge description
Grande Roche is situated in the scenic and historic town of Paarl, in the heart of the Cape Winelands. As one of the country's few five-star estate hotels, the Grande Roche of Paarl has become a legend on the local hospitality scene for having won a formidable array of awards and culinary accolades since its opening in January 1992.
The property is set on a gentle slope overlooking vineyards and rugged mountains. The manor house and its sprawl of individually decorated suites are a quiet alternative to the hurly-burly of big city life.
Accommodation
Accommodation consists of 34 suites and standard rooms, all of which are air-conditioned and feature under-floor heating, satellite TV, electronic safe, mini bar, hairdryer, toiletries and tea and coffee making facilities. Apart from the five standard rooms, all of the suites boast a separate lounge.
Dining
For formal occasions, the award-winning Bosman’s Restaurant is a dinner restaurant serving contemporary French cuisine. The Bistro Allegro offers a delicious yet relaxed informal meal on the pool patio or in its modern interior.
There is a wide selection of cigars stocked, and the 6500-bottle strong wine cellar boasts a fantastic selection of wines.
