Our Yellow Zebra Opinion
-
Premium price, but truly exceptional
Delaire competes with La Residence for the title of The Winelands’ most luxurious hotel. The vineyard here is really very good, whilst the overall standards of food and service are set equally high. Great views and really very few negatives. A truly superb property.

Wander through the gardens, pausing to admire the sculptures on display, and marvel at the vineyards in which tasty grapes slowly ripen on their journey to becoming a world-class wine. The vineyards alone cover 20 hectares, so there’s plenty to see!
Packed with art galleries, curio shops, museums, monuments, and gourmet restaurants, the French Corner of The Winelands has ample attractions to enjoy.
This Cape Winelands town also holds ample interest for foodies and culture buffs alike!
See as much of The Winelands as you wish from the saddle, or set out on foot along many of the region’s hiking trails.
Head out to the Wemmers river, for trout fishing amidst spectacular scenery!
The Winelands boasts an outstanding variety of courses, not least in Pearl Valley, which has hosted the South African Golf Championship for the past three years in a row.
If you have time, you could consider taking in other estates. Just a few situated not far from Delaire Graff are Chamonix, Grande Provence, Rupert & Rothschild, and Mullineux & Leeu.

The communal areas of Delaire Graff include a very sumptuous lounge, featuring plush seating around stylish coffee tables.
There are two restaurants. One is named after the estate and offers classic bistro dishes, spectacular vineyard views, and interiors including orange leather couches designed by David Collins. The other is Indochine, where exquisitely flavoured Asian cuisine comes as standard. Of course wine plays a significant part in the estate’s dining experiences, with many a fine vintage produced at the on-site winery and brought to table for you to enjoy. There’s a gallery to peruse as well, in addition to an assortment of boutiques – Graff Diamonds, 100% Capri (linens), Vana (handbags and accessories), and Africa Nova (curios). Guests have access to a cinema too, as well as a gym and a spa. The estate’s gardens provide a lovely setting for a gentle stroll, and there’s a very inviting swimming pool!
