Jul 2, 2026Our stay at the Old Mushroom Farm was fantastic. The converted mushroom house into an apartment is awesome and very comfortable. I would recommend it for anyone wishing to explore the Howick/Karkloof area.

Jun 21, 2026Beautiful aesthetic with quirky touches reminding you of old school yesteryear. Large spacious accommodation in a peaceful setting with all amenities thought of and provided. Breakfast is included in the price which is real bonus.
