Montagu Manor in Montagu

The Deluxe Double Room with Shower is compact but well-equipped with a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a refrigerator, an electric kettle, and a wardrobe. The room features an olde worlde Victorian theme, parquet floors, and outdoor furniture on the private wrap-around porch. The bathroom has a shower, hairdryer, and Diptyque toiletries. All rooms are non-smoking and have a private entrance.

Breakfast is served in the dining room with French jazz playing on an antique record player. The made-to-order breakfast is generous and delicious, with freshly prepared options. There is no on-site restaurant for other meals, but the Rumbling Tum pizza spot is a short walk away, and other restaurants are a road or two from the property.

The garden and terrace provide space to relax, with cozy seats outside the room for reading or having a glass of wine. The property has a garden setting with birdsong. For golf enthusiasts, the Bonnievale Golf Club and Montagu Golf Club (2 km) are nearby. Nature lovers can visit the Witbosrivier Nature Reserve (14 km) and Montagu Springs (2.4 km).
