Get in

By car

This is the way to come to Montagu and it`s a 2-3 hours drive from Cape Town. Going east on the famous Route 62 will bring you to Oudtshoorn (this is an interesting drive through the semi-desert Karoo and worth some extra km/miles)

By bus

The big bus companies offer limited services to Montagu so it`s advisable to check the current situation.

By plane

Sorry, there`s no airport in Montagu so you`ve to head for Cape Town or George.

By rail

The next train station is in Cape Town, so this is NOT the way to go to Montagu.

Get around

The town itself is best explored walking. There is no public transport in Montagu so for longer trips rent a car. Alternative rent a (mountain-)bike as there are some interesting trails.

See

- Montagu houses some very fine examples of Dutch-Cape architecture and it`s no problem to visit them on a walk through the streets (especially Long Street).

Do

- Hike along on of the many tracks in the neighbouring mountains. Two of the nearby hiking trails start at Joubert Park just at the edge of the town. - Get boiled at the hot springs some 3km out of town.

Buy

Eat

Montagu offers some very classy restaurants. Becoming more and more popular with tourists the prices get classy, too.

Drink

Sleep

There are several hotels and guesthouses in Montagu and some more a little bit out of town but there is a little shortage of backpacker-accommodation. If on a budget look for one of the self-catering cottages.

Get out

Montagu is mainly a stop over between Cape Town and the Garden Route, BUT there is lots of reason to stay for 2, 3 or more nights. You can go for walks in the mountains, swimming at the hot mineral springs, horse riding, boat trips on the Breede River, tractor/trailer trip to the mountain summit, visit a wide variety of wineries with some of the best wines that you can get, or just relax and enjoy the sunshine and beauty of the town and area. Come and see for yourself, you will never regret it!
