“Near Perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2013

We spent 3 nights at the Grande Roche in a Terrace suite. What a wonderful hotel, beautiful setting with resident squirrels, guinea fowl and a nightly owl. Perfect weather made it all the better. We had a lovely suite with a marvellous view of vineyards and mountains with spacious green lawn and gardens in front of our patio. Everything seems... More

“Paradise in the vines of Paarl”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 April 2013

Our favourite hotel in the world. Great rooms (Letitia is our favourite) each with a balcony and sitting room. Bosmann's restaurant is outstanding and another favourite. Staff, service, pool, grounds, walks, wines, food, all are excellent. Breakfast on the terrace is just magical, exceeded only by the view of the mountains at sunset.

“Way over priced and with colossal bad taste”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 March 2013

Le Grande Roche hotel is based on a spectacular heritage farm-house estate surrounded by vineyards and with a fabulous view over the Paarl Valley. Service is good, staff are pleasant and helpful. This is where the good news ends. As a 5 star hotel that charges US$400 per night this place is far from fairly priced or minimally reasonable value.... More
