Mantis has added another property to its group of five-star boutique establishments and game reserves – the Views Boutique Hotel and Spa in the Wilderness along the Garden Route.

The hotel, which opened its doors on November 1, offers 18 individually designed and styled suites, with floor-to-ceiling windows taking full advantage of sea and mountain views.  The penthouse apartment on the top floor comprises a bedroom, bathroom, separate lounge and dining area.

Views has customised mood control lighting systems in every room, a pillow library, a private pool deck, a seaview lounge, a fine dining restaurant and informal bistro, a conference facility, a games room, wireless Internet connectivity throughout the hotel, a spa and fitness centre. 

Some of the special features exclusively designed for Views include a three-storey rotating ‘aquarium’ showcasing more than 1 000 individually handcrafted glass fish sculptures, complemented by LED lighting, movement and sound and life-size recycled crystal glass seagull sculptures and ceilings in public spaces that reflect the movement of water. 

Owner, Theo du Toit, says: “This hotel is destined to become one of the leading hotels on the Garden Route and in the Western Cape, and will establish the Wilderness region as a hot destination for local and international travellers alike.”
