Montagu Country Hotel - Montagu - South Africa

The Montagu Country Hotel was built in 1875 and is the oldest accommodation establishment in the village. Now owned by Gert Lubbe, who has retained many of the building's original Art Deco touches and added a few of his own. The result is a typical country hotel with an air of stylish simplicity.

Walking through the foyer you get a glimpse of the courtyard, lush green lawn and swimming pool area where guests unwind while enjoying the view of the nearby mountains. All 23 en-suite bedrooms offer air-conditioning and modern facilities to ensure an enjoyable stay.

The conference venue has all the necessary equipment and can accommodate up to 30 delegates. Specialising in traditional Cape fare the hotelÕs ÒWild Apricot RestaurantÓ has established quite a reputation for dishes such as Bobotie, a dish of Cape Malay origins using minced beef or lamb blended with dry fruits, nuts and spices and finally topped with a light baked custard.

After a delicious meal guests can visit the residents' pub, where drinks are served until late.
