This perfect getaway near the Robertson Wine Valley and not far from the Breede River Valley, takes some time to explore. The beautiful town of Montagu, famous for more than its Hot Springs is the perfect retreat for eco, wellness and adventure sports, as well as golfing holidays, wine and food!
Montagu is situated on Route 62 approximately 2 hours’ drive from Cape Town and leads into the Little Karoo. Look forward to a whole new world of magic and sensual pleasure as you pop through the hole in the wall at Kogmanskloof with its amazing geological folds, faults and a British fort from 1899.
What makes Montagu extra special is the fact that it appeals to all the senses…
- Whether it is the sounds of silence only a mountain can provide
- Birdsongs or friendly chatter at the market

- The sweet aroma of Muskadel and fresh mountain air
- The warm rays of sunshine or smell of roses
- The visionary explosion of a Karoo night sky
- The colourful view of “sidewalk life”
- Or the touch of cold rock under your fingers, natural spring water on your skin or the feel of a good massage and many different alternative therapies
