Delaire Graff Lodges And Spa

Our stay at Delaire Graff Estate was nothing short of exceptional. From the vineyards to the rooms the layout of the Presidential Suite was incredibly well thought out — spacious, and perfectly suited for us as a group. It accommodated us effortlessly while still feeling private and intimate. The design of the estate itself is almost otherworldly. Every detail, from the architecture to the landscaping, feels intentional and elevated with the finest attention given to details, driving into the estate gave us some of the best views we had till date. A special mention to Hoseki restaurant — a true gem within the property. Some of the best sushi we’ve ever had, paired with one of the most memorable dining experiences we’ve shared as a family. To this day my wife and I rave about the fatty blue fin tuna sashimi. Without exaggeration, this will remain in our minds as probably the best experience we’ve had in South Africa. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you team Delaire Graff!

What an amazing experience. Was at the spa with my daughter. I dont think I have had such an amazing, mind-boggling experience as I had here. The massages are literally tailored to your whim and want of the day you are there. The grounds are gorgeous. The staff are sincere and wonderful and the art is super interesting and gorgeous. The smells of the oils and lotions...wow..! I cannot recommend it highly enough.

The hotel showed great heart and compassion during an extremely difficult time in my life after the loss of my mother. I was met with kindness, understanding, and genuine support, and they allowed me to cancel my reservation free of charge. I am deeply grateful for their empathy and humanity. Thank you very much

Luxury High Above – An Unforgettable Stay at Delaire Graff We spent two nights at Delaire Graff Resort as a couple, and from the very first moment it was a truly special experience. The name “Delaire” comes from the French word meaning “high above” – and that is exactly how it feels. Perched above the vineyards with breathtaking views, there is a sense of serenity, exclusivity, and elevation in every way. The entire resort is pure luxury. Everything is thoughtfully designed, refined, and unmistakably high-end down to the smallest detail. The lodges are stunning, incredibly spacious, and offer maximum privacy. We especially loved the many small surprises and thoughtful touches that awaited us throughout our stay – details that made the experience even more memorable. The staff is exceptionally friendly, attentive, and warm. Even if service occasionally took a little longer, it was always delivered with such kindness and professionalism that we felt completely well taken care of. Culinarily, the resort exceeds expectations. The food is outstanding – creative, refined, and of the highest quality – perfectly complemented by excellent wines from the region. A true indulgence. Beyond architecture and gastronomy, Delaire Graff also impresses culturally. The art collection is remarkable and beautifully integrated into the surroundings. We were particularly fascinated by the garden filled with sculptures by Dylan Lewis – so much so that it inspired us to visit his sculpture garden in Stellenbosch as well. A small downside, however, was that the absolute tranquility one might expect was not always present. In the mornings, loud machinery was occasionally operated in front of our private outdoor pool, which was not ideal during a yoga session. In addition, a television in the neighboring lodge was playing quite loudly at times. We also noticed staff members conversing loudly near the hotel’s main pool area, which carried through more than expected. In a property of this caliber, we would have appreciated a bit more sensitivity regarding quietness and atmosphere. Nevertheless, Delaire Graff remains a place of exceptional charm and character – a retreat that uniquely combines luxury, art, nature, and culinary excellence. We will definitely be back!

Our stay at this hotel was extremely disappointing and nowhere near what one would expect from a luxury 5-star property.||We stayed in a room costing around €2,000 per night, yet the bathroom drainage was not working, causing water to stand in the bathtub. This basic maintenance issue alone is unacceptable at this price level.||The restaurant experience was even more frustrating. We were seated at 20:00 and then completely forgotten by the staff. It took almost 40 minutes before we could even place an order, and we only started eating at 21:30. There was no proper explanation, no apology, and no sense of urgency from the staff.||In addition, the food prices are astronomical, completely out of proportion to the experience. Despite the very high prices, the quality of the food was only average at best, certainly not what one would expect at this level or for these prices.||Overall, the hotel fails to deliver a true 5-star experience in terms of service, attention to detail, and value. The price-to-quality ratio is extremely poor, and the experience does not justify the premium rates being charged.||Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this hotel to travelers expecting luxury, professionalism, and high-end hospitality.

We paid around €2,000 per night, yet the bathroom drain did not work, leaving standing water in the bathtub. Completely unacceptable. The restaurant service was a disaster. We were seated at 20:00, forgotten for nearly 40 minutes, and only started eating at 21:30. No explanation, no apology. This hotel does not meet 5-star standards in any way and offers an extremely poor price-to-quality ratio. Highly disappointing experience.

We had an incredible couples massage with Lauren and Nomfundo. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel completely comfortable and relaxed. Both therapists knew exactly what they were doing — their techniques were skilled, intuitive, and perfectly tailored to what we needed. The entire experience was calming, professional, and truly therapeutic. We left feeling refreshed, restored, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend booking with Lauren and Nomfundo for anyone looking for a world-class couples massage!

From the moment of arrival to our departure, the stay was simply a beautiful dream experience. So appreciative.
