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.

Great stay in a beautiful setting in a premier wine estate. Fantastic views of the mountains from a lush garden with swimming pool. Very comfortable room with excellent service, friendly staff and good food.

The breakfast can be added it is not filling. The ladies I was with needed another plate as they were not full. Regrettably they were refused it. The waiter was also not aware as she initially agreed to give them more but the manager came back to sa it is at a cost

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.

Everything was so inviting, right from the reception to departure. Staff so friendly, the 3 nights felt like a few hours. Quite neighbourhood yet not too far from shops and wine estates. Best for relaxation.

The room was clean, cosy and comfortable with a lovely en-suite and separate toilet which is a nice feature. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, and discreet at the same time. The breakfasts were included and delicious. The location and views within the Stellenbosch winelands are also good.
