Does South Africa make you dream? Prepare to fall under its spell Delaire Graff Estate, a Relais & Châteaux member. Located in the Stellenbosch Valley, this establishment presents itself as the ideal destination for all lovers of luxury, wine, and open spaces. From culinary experiences to architecture and impeccable service, you are staying in a place where nothing has been left to chance.
The «lodges» range from Deluxe to the so-called «owner's» residence: a sublime house that can accommodate 4 adults. For a stay as a couple or with a child, the Luxury Lodge is quite appealing. Tastefully decorated, this 80m² house will make you want to never leave. Unusually, it combines a warm interior that gives a prominent place to art with refined furnishings, all while offering a spectacular view. An adjoining terrace invites you to enjoy the panorama and your private pool.
And because it seems unlikely you'll want to snap out of your waking dream, Delaire Graff Estate has conceived a restaurant combining gourmet cuisine and, of course, tastings of the region's wines: the Delaire Graff restaurant. And if you wish to vary your flavors, Indochine welcomes you for dishes with Asian accents. Finally, if, like us, you enjoy being alone in the world: it is, of course, possible to dine in complete privacy in your home.
While wine lovers will undoubtedly enjoy participating in various tastings, others will explore the surroundings. The park at Delaire Graff Estate resembles a Garden of Eden, a true botanical garden where time passes too quickly. You'll find not only a multitude of different species but also magnificent sculptures. In the afternoon, you can't resist the Spa: the treatments there are divine.
In a nutshell
- A sumptuous setting for a hotel far from the world.
- The Delaire Graff Estate park looks like a Garden of Eden.
- The Luxury Lodge can accommodate a couple with a child.
Restoring oneself: The Delaire Graff Restaurant
In addition to an extraordinary view of the vineyards and olive groves, the hotel's bistronomic restaurant welcomes you for lunch and dinner. The products are seasonal and local: the olive oil is produced in the valley, the bread is homemade, and the restaurant benefits from its own vegetable garden for fruits, vegetables, and aromatic herbs. The presented plates are superb and the dishes are worthy of the panorama.
With the kids
Children are welcome, but the Delaire Graff Estate is more geared towards relaxation and tranquility.
The pool welcomes your family, and you'll love strolling through the gardens.
