The Wild Mushroom Boutique Hotel is a luxurious 5 star establishment in the historical town of Stellenbosch.
The surprising wonder world of wild mushrooms is unlocked in the stylish elegance of the unique boutique hotel. This rare experience offers an opportunity to be pampered and to recuperate amid vineyards and olives.
The Wild Mushroom is the first hotel in the world that offers a mushroom-inspired experience, known as mycotourism.
The prizewinning architect Hein Visser restored the 1890’s manor house brilliantly. The initial design and dimensions of the building were retained and the original walls, roof beams, doorframes, sash windows and solid kiaat doors revive a bygone era. In addition, the spacious manor house with its typical elements from the late Herbert Baker era gained a few magnificent rooms in the large roof area.
There are six en suite bedrooms in this double-storey boutique hotel. Each of the suites
downstairs has a private entrance. All window of the hotel offers an unobstructed view of the blue Boland Mountains. A stay in the Wild Mushroom is a visual delight and sensory
experience in an exclusive, private environment. |

| The sculptures of the renowned South African landscape artist Strijdom van der Merwe are prominent features in the formal garden. They unite the old and new growth patterns of mushrooms. The colours and textures of mushrooms are reflected in a subtle way in the choice and layout of a wide variety of plants in seasonal displays. The swimming pool terrace and surrounding areas invite guests to discover the elegant and
spectacular garden design |

A full gourmet breakfast under the pergola of the courtyard ushers in the promise of the rest of the day.
