Mountain View Lodge Montagu  Verified Listing

Located on a steep hill, overlooking Montagu's town center, and on the border of the Kanonkop reserve, the environmentally conscious and ecologically responsible Mountain View Lodge Montagu was built in 2013 on a property called "hooggenoeg" or "high enough" in free translation. The lodge was inspired by both European monasteries and African traditional architecture.

At the Mountain View Lodge, privacy is a top priority, and guests can relax and enjoy the spectacular mountain views. The lodge is almost completely hidden from the street, and its location is monitored and secured 24 hours a day. Guests can take a short walk to Montagu's town center from the lodge.

This eco-award-winning property has seven individually decorated rooms, each with garden views. Rooms are equipped with a king-size bed, a fan, a dressing, and a safety deposit box. The private bathroom has a shower with free toiletries. Two of the rooms have interconnecting doors and can be converted into a family room for up to four people.

The lodge features a seasonal heated outdoor swimming pool and a deck with a view of the town and valley. The Belgian Restaurant at Mountain View Lodge serves traditional Belgian and South African cuisine by reservation. The bar has a wide variety of Belgian, imported, and local beers, as well as a collection of local wines. There are many nearby attractions, including wine tasting at the wine farms along Route 62, river trips on the authentic River Goose, mountain bike routes, and hiking. The Montagu Golf Course is just a 4-minute drive away. The lodge also offers free Wi-Fi and private parking. Guests can book chauffeur-driven trips, including wine tasting tours, big 5 game drives, city, and off-road trips. Cape Town International Airport is 182 km from the property, Montagu Hot Springs only 2 km, and Robertson less than 30 km away.

The lodge is registered as an eco-accommodation and has received several awards and recommendations for its ecological responsibility. The lodge recycles and filters shower and basin water for irrigation and flushing toilets, and tumble dryers have been banned to reduce energy use. The rooms are ecologically designed and naturally insulated to keep temperatures stable. A natural cool airflow is created in a rear corridor, and the lodge has no air conditioners or additional refrigerators in the rooms. Laundry is done using ecologically responsible soaps only.
