Description: Delaire Graff Estate

Nestled on the slopes of the spectacular Stellenbosch mountains, the Delaire Graff Estate is an exclusive luxury boutique hotel, boasting commanding views of its own vineyards and the hills and mountains of this beautiful area of Cape Province. Surrounded by pristine gardens and boasting elegant accommodation in just ten immensely spacious lodges, Delaire Graff Estate is the ultimate in luxurious retreats, with bespoke service, top-class cuisine, and enviable facilities in an idyllic mountain setting.

Featuring a unique combination of Cape Dutch architecture, African artefacts and styling, and original works of art from Laurence Graff's personal collection, the Delaire Graff Estate oozes spacious, airy design on all sides. Guests at the lodge can enjoy a magnificent range of experiences and activities, both on-site and close by, including vineyard and cellar tours, wine tastings, mountain biking, helicopter flights, and golf.
