Montagu Country Hotel

Set along the famous Route 62, the hotel sits in Montagu’s historic center against the Langeberg Mountains. Guests step out to tree-lined streets, galleries, and the village’s coffee culture, with the Breede River Valley’s wineries a short drive away. The region’s geothermal hot springs add year-round appeal, and the Overberg’s rolling farmland and mountain passes make scenic day trips effortless. It’s a convenient country base roughly two to two-and-a-half hours from Cape Town, ideal for pairing with Robertson and the Little Karoo.

Accommodation spans Classic and Luxury Art Deco and Victorian rooms, plus the quirky, pet-friendly African Hut and a spacious Luxury Studio that sleeps four. Two self-catering units offer added flexibility for families or longer stays. Expect free Wi-Fi and air-conditioning across categories, with décor that blends vintage character and modern comforts. Many rooms look onto gardens or mountains, keeping the Winelands-meets-Karoo setting front and center while layouts remain practical for couples, friends, or small family groups.

Dining is a highlight: Charlestons serves polished Cape country fare for breakfast and dinner, while Feathers & Flatcaps is the relaxed coffee and cocktail lounge for lunches and easy bites. Between tastings and day trips, retreat to two outdoor pools, landscaped lawns, and a soothing spa that features a mineral jacuzzi, infrared sauna, and tailored treatments. The overall feel is unfussy and welcoming—period charm, personable service, and facilities designed for slow, restorative country stays.
