Grande
Roche Hotel & Restaurant, Paarl, Cape Winelands, Western Cape, South
Africa
The
Past...
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.
Over the
years the homestead grew and changed and, in 1876, it was renovated to
reflect the then popular Victorian style. The farm was bought and modernised
by the Du Toit family in 1926 and after a fire in 1953 it was rebuilt as
a Victorian manor house.
It
was finally restored to its original Cape Dutch splendour after careful
research in 1991 and transformed into a luxury hotel. In 1993, the fastidious
restoration was acknowledged when the Grande Roche Estate was declared
a national monument. |

...
And the Present
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.
