I started to sense the majesty of Grand Dedaleas soon as I drove up the driveway! Class and sophistication par excellence, every room a treat in its classic individuality. The peace and tranquilityblew me away.
In the hidden valley of the early wagon-makers, the country road winds alongside a meandering river past historic homesteads and through indigenous forests to the beautifully restored Grand Dédale Country House on Doolhof Wine Estate in Wellington, Cape Winelands. This impressive Cape Dutch manor house dates back to the 1700s, but has been elegantly transformed into a sophisticated and contemporary country house. Set amidst 380 hectares of breathtaking mountain scenery, vineyards and forests, being the last estate in a cul-de-sac, tranquillity and privacy are guaranteed.
A warm welcome sets the scene offering 21st century comfort and technology. Interiors reflect light, with spacious romantic rooms decorated with style and dressed with the finest linen. A thatched stone cottage offers privacy for couples or honeymooners. Cap Classique breakfasts, light lunches, teas and delicious three-course table d’hôte dinners are served on the large verandah. Spacious entertainment areas and landscaped gardens with a 15-metre pool invite privacy and relaxation. Be pampered in the Wellness Room, pack a picnic hamper and set off walking, hiking, mountain biking or horse riding or sample Doolhof's award-winning wines. Grand Dédale is the perfect venue for weddings and executive conferences.

GUEST FEEDBACK
Lovely stay
"My wife and I had a lovely stay at Grand Dedale Country House. We highly recommend it. The farm and the surrounding area is beautiful and there are some lovely walks available along the little stream running through the farm. We would definitely recommend it as a lovely weekend away. The food was excellent and the room was very cheerful and cosy for quite a cold and wet weekend. Thanks to the portfolio collection for helping us to find this lovely spot."
