To escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the unique charm of Montagu Country Hotel, guests are invited to visit this unique Art Deco building located in the Western Cape. The hotel provides luxurious accommodation, exquisite cuisine, and diverse entertainment for a perfect getaway.
The charming four-star Montagu Country Hotel by Cape Country Routes is situated in Montagu, nestled between the Langeberg mountain ranges in the Western Cape. It is conveniently located near Cape Town and is ideal for those wishing to experience a rural atmosphere.
This hotel is the only original Art Deco hotel in the country that has welcomed visitors through its iconic stained-glass doors since 1875. Guests can expect comfortable lodging, excellent amenities, warm hospitality, and impressive mountain views.
The renovated family hotel features 29 individually furnished rooms with bathrooms, 13 luxury rooms, 14 classic rooms, and two self-catering apartments (one of which is wheelchair accessible), making it suitable for both families and business travelers.
One of the two on-site restaurants, Charlestons, serves breakfast and dinner, offering a blend of comforting food and classic elegance. In the summer, one can relax on the terrace while the iceberg roses bloom, and in winter, cozy fireplaces invite enjoyment of hearty South African cuisine, elegantly served and complemented by high-quality wines from the Robertson Wine Route. A children's menu is available for families.
At the Feathers & Flatcaps coffee shop and cocktail bar, you can start the day with a Bootlegger coffee, enjoy artisanal burgers and exquisite milkshakes for lunch, or take a break with local craft beer and refreshing cocktails.
The hotel is equipped with an activity center featuring some of Montagu's most popular operators. There is also a dedicated space for conferences, banquets, and team building, a wellness center on site, two outdoor pools, and picturesque gardens. It is easily accessible from the Robertson Wine Route, where guests can take a stylish tour in a 1956 or 1964 Cadillac Sedan De Ville.
Within walking or driving distance are various scenic routes for walks and bike rides, as well as three golf courses. Good news for families with pets: the hotel allows pets; small and medium-sized socialized and well-behaved dogs are welcome. One of the first hotels in South Africa installed a 22 kW DC electric vehicle (EV) charging station for guest convenience.
