Mountain View Eco Lodge Montagu

Mountain View Lodge Montagu, established in 2013, is an eco-conscious accommodation situated on a steep hill overlooking Montagu's town center, bordering the Kanonkop reserve. The property, locally known as "hooggenoeg" (meaning "high enough"), draws architectural inspiration from both European monasteries and African traditional building styles.

The award-winning lodge features seven individually decorated rooms, each offering garden views and equipped with king-size beds, fans, dressing areas, and safety deposit boxes. Private bathrooms include showers with complimentary toiletries. Two rooms can be interconnected to create a family unit accommodating four people. The property boasts a seasonal heated outdoor swimming pool and a viewing deck overlooking the town and valley.

A Belgian Restaurant on-site serves traditional Belgian and South African cuisine by reservation, complemented by a bar offering an extensive selection of Belgian, imported, and local beers, alongside regional wines. The lodge's location provides easy access to various attractions, including Route 62 wine farms, River Goose trips, mountain biking trails, and hiking paths. The Montagu Golf Course is nearby, and the property offers chauffeur-driven excursions including wine tours and game drives.

As a registered eco-accommodation, the lodge implements various environmental initiatives. These include water recycling systems, energy-efficient practices such as the elimination of tumble dryers, and ecological room design featuring natural insulation and cooling systems. The rooms are designed without air conditioners or additional refrigerators, maintaining temperature control through natural airflow. The property exclusively uses eco-friendly cleaning products and maintains strict environmental standards throughout its operations.

The lodge's strategic location places it within walking distance of Montagu's town center while maintaining privacy through its concealed position. It offers 24-hour security monitoring and is conveniently situated in relation to major attractions, being 182 km from Cape Town International Airport, 2 km from Montagu Hot Springs, and less than 30 km from Robertson.
