A truly memorable stay

Amazingly peaceful stay at this beautiful grand old house filled with gorgeous and well mantained antiques. The breakfast was incredible, and we really appreciated the fresh baked gluten free bread! The service was all we could wish for and we enjoyed swimming in the pool outside under the stars. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a break from the city hustle and bustle.

Comfort from home

Welcoming, friendly and very accommodating host and hostess,Hank and Marzanne. The guesthouse is a revamped old house with its original wooden floors and a lovely wooden staircase leading up to the 2nd floor. It still has its old world charm and very centrally situated. The huge bed was very comfortable. Clean fresh smelling bed linen and soft white towels. The room has a small bar fridge which will be very welcome in hot summer days. Lovely breakfast with what tasted like homemade croissants - fresh and still hot. A substantial meal, fresh fruit, cereals and preserves as well. Lovely pool and verandah with shady trees for relaxing in summer.

Such potential such disappointment.

Due to Expedia's inefficiency I did not get what I booked for: I booked a queen bed and got 2 single beds - the owner was informed by Expedia that there were two clients coming on the night of 8th November. The room was not completely ready when I arrived at about 4pm and only late that evening I found there were no bath towels so I had to use hand towels to dry off.

Great Place

A wonderful place to stay. walking distance to Restaurants. We went for the Hot Springs in town and found that they didn't suit out needs so retreating to the Airlies Gastehuis was a great thing to do . comfortable surroundings and a Breakfast that was wonderful.

Mostly excellent.

Charming guest house and friendly owners. Got cold in the bed, however, so ask for a blanket if cool. Cooked breakfast rather oily and liberal sprinkling of MSG.

Great location for our need.

This is a perfect place to stop over on the beautiful Route 62 drive. We picked Montagu so we could enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot springs. Airlies is right in town and just around the corner is "Ye Olde Tavern" that served one of the best meals we had during our 27 day adventure in South Africa. There was a nice bit of sherry waiting in the room for us and the room was huge. Great hosts with lots of local information. Great made to order breakfast was served in a nicely appointed dining room. Wonderful gardens surrounding the place.

Relaxing and quiet country garden

Our room was in a garden cottage with its own patio. We loved the privacy and enjoyed the very well-kept and extensive garden. The owners are very friendly and attentive - we loved their parrot (one of many animals living there).

Boa Opção em Montagu

O quarto é muito bom. Achei apenas o café da manhã fraco. Poucas opções e pequenas quantidades.
