THE AREA

Noted as the halfway stop between Cape Town and Oudtshoorn on the popular Route 62, which is regarded as South Africa’s version of America’s renowned Route 66. Breathtaking scenery, the Langeberg region boasts some of the country’s finest wines and is known for having the longest wine route in the world. Known as the "mountain mecca" of the Cape, Montagu lies surrounded by the Langeberg mountain range nestled between the Keisie and Kingna Rivers in the western corner of Kannaland, and is famous for her orchards, vineyards, local herbs, rock formations and healing hot mineral springs.

Montagu is one of the best examples of a late Victorian agricultural village in the Western Cape with a number of examples of preserved Cape Dutch and Georgian National Monuments - Long Street houses 14 of the town’s 22 National Monuments and Joubert House epitomizes late 19th century living. Spending time in Montagu is sure to relax and recharge your batteries or, if you are that way inclined, there is a list of activities to get the adrenaline flowing, like mountain biking, kloofing, abseiling, paragliding, fishing and river boat trips up the Breede River. Some excellent restaurants are walking distance from us. Montagu are surrounded by excellent wine farms and interesting small villages for interesting day trips.
