Our Montagu

Originally Montagu West or "Die Oudam" area was settled by artisans employed in building the National Monument town houses. The families had to build from readily available natural resources, the older dwellings were constructed from rock and clay on a rock foundation. Blue gum trees provided the beams and roof trusses and the reeds from the riverbed the ceilings and roofs.
Other houses  built in a later period are more Victorian in style, using oregon pine for ceilings.
Montagu West is located at the entrance to the nature reserve and the start of the hiking trails. Visitors can walk into the town to shop or meander around the museums, coffee shops etc.
The renovated cottages vary in configuration, one, two and three bedrooms arrangements are available. There is also a variety of choices in terms of double or single beds, bathrooms with showers and/or baths etc. Please check the individual cottage details for your particular preference. Some cottages have a fireplace for winter comfort. All cottages have a private garden area with outdoor amenities such as garden furniture, braai facilities etc. The cottages are not in a complex of any description, each is on a private property and pets are welcome in some of them. There is no sense of overcrowding and the objective is to provide a stress free relaxing breakaway.

Each cottage is equipped with all necessary items with the exception of personal towels. However these are available on request for travelors.
