Grand Dédale Country House
S. Africa » W. Cape » Wellington
7 Bedrooms , 7 Bathrooms

The historic Manor House on Doolhof Wine Estate has been elegantly restored and houses 6 individually designed and appointed en-suite bedrooms and suites, offering 5 star luxuries and service. The free standing thatched cottage forms the 7th bedroom and is ideal for honeymooners or guests seeking additional privacy.

Situated in a long valley below the Bainskloof Pass, the Estate not only offers a wide variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain biking and horse riding, but is also an ideal base from which to explore the Cape.

We believe that luxury comes with space and have therefore created a large veranda, two dining areas, a library and tea lounge, a TV lounge with international channels, two conservatories, extensive landscaped gardens and a 15 meter pool, ensuring a high level of privacy and comfort.

Start your day with a delicious “Cap Classique” breakfast with a range of homemade treats. Light lunches and snacks are served throughout the day; picnic baskets or backpacks are available by prior arrangement. In the afternoons we serve a high tea buffet with homemade delicacies. A sundown aperitif on the large veranda is followed by a three-course table d’hote menu, prepared by our resident chef. Emphasising game and seafood, all ingredients are locally sourced and prepared in a Cape idiom.

A spa room is available for a wide range of treatments performed by professional therapists. The full range of Doolhof’s award winning wines is available for tasting in the tasting room; on request, private cellar tours can be arranged.

Driving directions (from airport or sea port)

Directions from Cape Town

From Cape Town, take the N1 towards Paarl.

Take exit 47 marked R44 Stellenbosch/Wellington and turn left towards Wellington.

Keep on straight (from here, Wellington is approximately 25 kilometres); on your way you cross a four-way stop and two sets of traffic lights until you reach a large junction with traffic lights (new Checkers shopping centre in front of you). Turn left towards Wellington.

After a few hundred metres you will reach more traffic lights with a large white church on the left (the Moeder Kerk). Turn right into Church Street/Kerk Straat (signs for Bains Kloof).

Continue on through Wellington towards the mountains (Bains Kloof). As you leave the town, the road climbs and bends to the right. You will see Bovlei Winery, a cream building on your right.

Immediately after this you will reach a sign marked Hill Road on your left. Take this road and then turn immediately right (follow the signs for Doolhof Wine Estate).

You will reach a T-junction. Turn right again. The road soon becomes a gravel road. Keep straight on to the end (approx. 4 km), you will pass through Welvanpas and eventually come to double gates with the Doolhof D.
