Here at Digteby Estate in Vlottenburg, a residential area in Stellenbosch, a passion for classic luxury with a contemporary flavour is fused with a unique winelands location. The prizewinning architect Hein Visser restored the old manor house brilliantly. The initial design and dimensions of the building were retained and the original walls, roof beams, door-frames, sash windows and solid kiaat doors revive a bygone era. In addition, the spacious farm house with its typical elements from the late Herbert Baker era gained a few magnificent rooms in the large roof area. There are seven en suite bedrooms in this double-story Luxury Country House. Each window offers an unobstructed view of the blue Boland Mountains. A stay in the Wild Mushroom, a uniquely South African guest house, is a visual delight and sensory experience in an exclusive, private environment.

Manager, Irene was exceptional - nothing was too much of an effort for her - her knowledge of the surrounding wine estates were very helpful - the property reminds of a typical colonial Cape Duth style, yet very trendy - all the rooms are unique - we stayed in the bridal suite (Russula) - ery spacious - views are outstanding of mountain range - a must stayover for a few nights - waiter, Nolu was just great when serving breakfast - truly a exquisite oroperty.

Set in quiet gated community with stunning views of the surrounding mountains in the outskirts of Stellenbosch surrounded by vineyards. Very friendly and helpful staff, spacious and well equipped rooms and excellent breakfasts. Ideal location for the Stellenbosch region.

We loved our stay at this location. The staff were lovely and the breakfast was great. Our suite was very nice however could be cleaner. Found dirt in places you really shouldn’t. Bed side table was also balancing on a broken leg and should have been replaced or repaired. Would visit again though.
