Paarl, South Africa

Grande Roche

This is one of the charming colonial style hotels that travelers can enjoy as a base for exploring the wine lands.  — Mango's view

The Grande Roche of Paarl has become a legend on the local hospitality scene for having won such a formidable array of awards and culinary accolades since its opening in January 1992. This gem of South Africa is set on a gentle slope overlooking vineyards and rugged mountains. The manor house and its sprawl of individually decorated suites are a gentle alternative to the hurly-burly of big city life. It is the hotel's subtle attention to detail that sets it apart from the rest.

At Grande Roche, dining at Bosman's or Bistro Allegro, you are assured of a gourmet extravaganza. Whether combining the textures, flavors and quality ingredients for an epicurean delight, a tantalizing vegetarian or low calorie dish, or simply a club sandwich - all receive the same care from the team of professional chefs.

Attractions include two swimming pools, tennis courts, hiking trails, fishing, wine land tours, and 14 nearby golf courses to name just a few.
