Forbes Travel Guide, the world-renowned appraising system for luxury hotels, restaurants and spas, has just revealed its annual Star Rating list for 2022. Delaire Graff Estate, fondly known as the Jewel of the Cape Winelands has been awarded the highest level of achievement: the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Stars.
Visiting Delaire Graff Estate is always a memorable experience, but staying at Delaire Graff Lodges and Spa and waking up to its splendour is one of life’s finer pleasures, bar none. Surrounded by indigenous gardens and vineyards with iconic Cape Winelands views, the lodges are housed in seventeen separate structures with magnificent Cape-Dutch inspired rooflines. Each includes a master bedroom, separate living room, wet bar area, dressing room and ensuite marble bathroom, as well as a private terrace with a heated plunge pool.
Set in serene surroundings, the spa features five elegant suites that have been fitted with exquisite linens and unique touches.
