Grande Roche is situated on the site of the old De Nieuwe Plantatie in the Drakenstein valley of Paarl, South Africa. Its heritage dates back to 1717 when a grant of land was given to Hermanus Bosman. Grande Roche is situated in the scenic and historic town of Paarl, which lies in the heart of the Cape Winelands, just 40 minutes away from Cape Town International Airport. Paarl’s Mediterranean climate offers ideal weather for golfing, hiking and climbing. Centrally located, it is close to all major attractions around the spectacular Cape Peninsula.

Today Grande Roche is a celebrated international hotel, famous for its exquisite location in the heart of the beautiful Cape Winelands, as well as for its luxurious, cosmopolitan accommodation, award-winning cuisine and matchless service and hospitality. The immaculately restored Cape Dutch homestead at Grande Roche dates back to the 18th century, and offers guests a variety of sumptuous accommodations which include 29 luxury suites and five executive rooms. The Grande Roche is part of the Relais & Chateaux group.

Each of our luxurious accommodations has been lavishly designed and decorated for the comfort and pampering of guests. We ensure that everyone who visits Grande Roche leaves with special memories of this unique estate escape – the treasure of the Cape Winelands.  The recently renovated manor house at Grande Roche is the heart of the hotel and home to the award-winning Bosman’s Restaurant. A fusion of imaginative and innovative epicurean delights will tantalize the most discerning of palates.

Bosman’s is a 70-seater restaurant with a terrace and patio seating 60 in fine weather. It is open seven days a week. For groups of eight or more, the Banqueting department will help to choose a menu to suit the guest and the occasion. Dress code for the restaurant is smart – no “Jacket & Tie” requirement.
