South Africa - Grand Dèdale Country House, my insights for you!
Grand Dédale Country House, Wellington.
Hey guys,
today I write about our stay at the wonderful Grand Dèdale Country House in Wellington.
Nestled at the end of a tranquil valley below the historic Bainskloof Pass, Grand Dédale is set within an award winning Wine Estate, offering sweeping views of the valley as well as the Groenberg, Limietberge and Hawekwa mountains. The picturesque town of Wellington is a short drive away, Cape Town can be reached within 50 minutes.
The exclusive and elegantly restored Cape Dutch Manor House, formerly the private residence of the owners of Doolhof Wine Estate, comprises six luxurious and bespoke rooms and suites. A separate thatched cottage is enjoyed by honeymooners or guests seeking additional privacy.
We stayed at the romantic cottage, which I can only recommend to you to do. You have an own cottage for yourself, as you can see in the picture it is nicely decorated and is offering all the luxury you can wish for. It has two levels and an own terrace, which makes it really private and really romantic. A must for honeymooners.
The exclusive rooms (six) are in the main house, the rooms are all different but all elegant and great styled. Every room has a own story, so it just makes you to wish for come back again soon. We stayed one night at the room "Hawequa", which is right underneath the roof top, an amazing loft room experience.
The Country House has amazing interior. I just fall in love with it. It combines old and modern in a really inspiring way. For me it was one of the most beautiful decorated country houses I saw during my visit.
They also offer a pool and a nice relaxing outdoor terrace, where you can sip your wine and read a book. After sightseeing and exploring it is nice to come down and relax in this wonderful hideaway for some days.
Dinner and breakfast is taking place at the amazing terrace facing the beautiful nature, vineyard and the romantic cottage. For sunset they prepare a great sun-downer pre-dinner drink on the terrace, followed by an amazing candle light dinner 4-course menu. As they only offer 6 rooms and one cottage it is really a familiar and private atmosphere, which we enjoyed really much. Also light lunch and snacks are served throwout the day.
If your into hiking and enjoying the mountains, they also help you out with a great picnic basket for your adventure. The link is as always included in the headline, if you click on it you will be forwarded to the hotel page.
