Our room was spacious and clean, quiet at night and a good breakfast either in the dining room or on the terrace. Lovely little pool to cool off in. Paul & Shirley are very helpful... More

We stayed in the cottage, an excellent option for a family of 4. Out was clean and spacious with modern recently upgraded facilities. For the price, this is a really good option in Montagu. The hosts are friendly and helpful. Highly recommend to all visitors.

A very charming place in Montagu. Clean ans spacious. The kids loved their room. Would have love to stay one more night. Shirley and Paul are great host. They helped us a lot during our short but very sweet stay at the lodge. Montagu is a very quiet place to visit.
