Grand Dédale is located in the historical Cape Dutch Manor House on Doolhof Wine Estate. Throughout history, the Manor House has always been the private residence of the respective owners, until it was completely revamped and converted to a 5* Country House in 2009.
We are surrounded by mountains and vineyards and the best way to explore the area is on foot or by mountain bike. Guests can enjoy scenic views all round, swim in crystal clear rock pools on top of Bainskloof Pass and even spot some wildlife! The quaint town of Wellington is only 5 km away and offers antique shops, country style restaurants and wine, brandy and whiskey tastings.
