This charming garden cottage is centrally situated and recently upgraded to include a sunken T.V. lounge with open plan kitchen. Accommodation comprises two very spacious rooms. One large double bedroom comprising a double bed, a day bed (for Junior), en-suite shower bathroom, chest of Draws, a cozy fireplace and various cottage pieces to make for a cozy and elegant bedroom with it's own garden patio.
Myself and my Partner Louise are your hosts at Abigail's Garden Cottage. We both love nature and the beauty t offers so close to us in and around Montagu. I, being an avid rock climber, spend a lot of time in the magnificent and picturesque mountains surrounding the village. They are a sublime backdrop to the tranquility of our home. Louise, an embroidery artist is also able to draw inspiration from our beautiful location here in such a diverse landscape. If you looking for a leisure or work trip away from the buzz and noise, then our garden cottage is the ideal place for your private break away. Come and unwind, relax, contemplate and even dream a bit.
Montagu is a town in the Western Cape province of South Africa, about 180 km from Cape Town in western Little Karoo. It is named after former secretary of the Cape Colony, John Montagu, but was once known as Agter Cogman’s Kloof, Cogman’s Kloof linking the town and railway station. It is situated at the confluence of the Keisie and Kingna rivers. Montagu was founded on the farm "Uitvlugt" in 1851, and is known for its hot mineral springs and scenic mountains. It is also an agricultural centre, where orchards and vineyards are in production and local herbs are grown. The farming area, 'Koo', lies north of the town and is famous for the quality of its apples, pears, apricots and peaches. The author Francis Brett Young spent his final years here. Nearby rock formations make it one of the country's major rock climbing venues. The 1266 m high Bloupunt peak overlooks the village and offers several hiking trails, as well as kloofing and mountain biking trails further afield. Montagu is near the Robertson Wine Valley, and is most easily reached via the Route 62 scenic route.
