A two-kilometre walk from the Mont Rochelle gate, and the shortest way to a view over Franschhoek.
Breakfast Rock is the short walk at Mont Rochelle Nature Reserve, and the only Easy route there. Two kilometres there and back, around 135 metres of ascent, about forty-five minutes, with the first 450 metres following a gravel road before the path proper begins.
It is also the opening section of the Uitkyk, Du Toitskop and Vista routes, which makes it a useful way to test the ground. Walk to the rock, see how it feels, and either turn around or keep going. The permit is the same either way.
Yes. Even for the short walk, a Mont Rochelle permit is required. Permits are sold at the entrance gate, at the Franschhoek Wine Valley information bureau, and online through Webtickets.
Allow forty-five minutes for the two kilometres there and back.
Yes. Breakfast Rock is the opening section of the Uitkyk, Du Toitskop and Vista routes, so you can extend the walk from the same path.
