This Cape Winelands country hotel first opened its doors in 1875 in Victorian splendour, but soon had to be enlarged and was turned into a double storey Georgian beauty in approximately 1899.
In the 1920s the 'Art Deco' design, largely initiated and inspired by Paris designers, also took off in South Africa, and the Montagu Hotel's present design is very much based on that period. The bar counter in the residence pub at this Cape Winelands country hotel is one of the best examples of art deco furniture that exists and is very unique.
Mountain walks, 4x4 drives, a tractor trip to the summit of the Langeberg mountains, award-winning wine estates and cellars, a historical walk through the village with all its national monuments, hot spring water and 3 golf courses within 20 minutes make Montagu a dream destination and a splendid halfway stop between Cape Town and the Garden Route.
Montagu became famous for the healing hot water that rises to the surface in a stream of large bubbles – saturated with gases - since ancient days an indication that the water contains abundant minerals. Today, at the Montagu Hotel, guests can experience the clear spring water, very soft and sweet smelling. Specialized treatments such reflexology and deep tissue massages can be arranged.
This Cape Winelands country hotel specializes in traditional cuisine complemented by top quality wines of the Robertson Wine Route area. Golden oldies played on a Baby Grand takes you on a nostalgic trip down memory lane.
