Continuing the theme set by the restaurant and wine cellar, architect Pierre Bories of France-based Palm Architects and his team conceptualised a delightful blend of classic and indigenous architecture for the Hotel and Spa. Scale is determined by vineyards and trees, with structures nestling into the scenery, and simple contemporary forms and spacious volumes opening onto wooden decks, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Unique Selling Points:
The Delaire Graff Estate has one of the leading restaurants and boutique hotels in this illustrious vineyard region, if not in South Africa itself.
Sustainability is more than just an abstract concept here, with special care being taken to minimise electrical consumption and save water; whilst opting for natural renewable materials like stone and wood throughout.
Under the Executive Chef, Christiaan Campbell, the estate’s restaurant offers fresh, seasonal-inspired menus bursting with vibrant, dynamic and robust flavours. The kitchen’s emphasis on authenticity lends itself towards comforting yet fine food.
Guests are able to dine on the terrace under a canopy of pin oak trees, or within the splendid, spacious restaurant - both offering breathtaking views of the Stellenbosch valley and mountains
