Graff Diamonds International (GDI) has unveiled the latest property in its South African portfolio, the Delaire Graff Lodge and Spa.

Located on the crest of the Helshoogte Mountain Pass, near Cape Town's two wine districts of Stellenbosch and Franschoek, the spa has four treatment rooms.

Special care was taken to minimise electrical consumption and save water, while natural materials such as stone and wood feature throughout. Treatments use Aromatherapy Associates, Mama Mio and Swiss Perfection.

Local horticulturalist Keith Kirsten designed and landscaped the estate gardens to soothe the senses and complement the surrounding natural environment. Each lodge boasts its own heated infinity pool, surrounded by camellia and jasmine hedges for natural seclusion.

The founder of GDI, Laurence Graff, acquired the Delaire wine estate in 2003. Details: www.delaire.co.za
