A JEWEL OF THE CAPE WINELANDS
Situated atop one of the oldest passes in the Cape, the Helshoogte Pass, the Delaire Graff Estate is the epitome of luxury, style and comfort. Founded by renowned diamantaire Laurence Graff OBE, the 100-acre Estate is home to a myriad of luxury lodges, a renowned wine lounge, two magnificent restaurants, a celebrated art collection, numerous boutiques and exquisite views of the Stellenbosch Valley.
Choose from one of the 17 luxury lodges, each of which has an en-suite bedroom with a king size bed, a living room, a private terrace and a private heated pool with panoramic views of the winding valleys and stunning landscapes of the Estate and the Cape Winelands. The two Presidential Lodges are comprised of two en-suite bedrooms with king size beds as well as their own living room, private terrace and private heated pool with either views of the picturesque Stellenbosch Valley and the iconic Table Mountain or the towering Simonsberg Peak. There is also the opportunity to stay in the four-bedroom Owner’s Villa, which has been designed with large windows framing Bomaskop Peak to the south and Table Mountain on the west, and includes its own heated infinity pool, jacuzzi and chef and butler service.
The estate is home to two on-site restaurants, where you can experience extraordinary Japanese cuisine at Hōseki or revel in the bistro-chic dishes with a South African twist at the Delaire Graff Restaurant. Awarded as the ‘Best Vineyard in Africa’ in 2020, the Delaire Graff Estate has a superb portfolio of wines that capture the intensity of the South African sunshine, and offer tutored wine tasting experiences in their elegant Wine Lounge where you can sample exclusive vintages only available at Delaire Graff Estate.
