"This is an awful place and the owner, Alan, is probably the rudest person I have come across in hospitality. He tries to disguise his rudeness behind a quirky, funny facade but doesn't manage very well. He has zero people skills and really should not be in the hospitality business. How they have managed to survive is beyond me. Supposedly an Eco lodge, however hand-soap in the bathroom is cheap, chemical-heavy rubbish decanted into a different container. Energy saving bulbs are used in the bedside lamps, these are so dim you'd be better off lighting a candle, so therefore you have to use the big overhead fan light. According to the in-room brochure, recycled water is used for the laundry, this is simply an excuse to give you hard, threadbare towels. The 'eco-friendly' headboard is a pile of sticks nailed together, making it super uncomfortable and basically impossible to lean against. The bedding is old and tired. The pillows are so thin you would need 5 just to have a comfortable height. As per their brochure, being an eco-lodge, there is no aircon, we were told to simply close the sliding door and keep the bathroom windows open, however this doesn't create any airflow as there are no other windows in the bedroom (no windows adjacent the sliding door). I'm not sure how legal this is even. The bathroom windows can also only be opened a very small way as there is a wooden plank nailed on the outside to prevent one from opening them wider. The tv is super tiny and mounted very high on the wall just below the ceiling. A booklet with lots of rules and sarcasm-heavy do's and don'ts in the room. For example, you may not use your room towel to swim with (fair enough) but they will only give you a pool towel if you stay 3 nights or more, otherwise you have to pay for the use of the pool towel. Similarly, if you want a robe and staying less than 3 nights, you have to pay. They make it quite clear that if you leave anything on your bed, they will not clean your room. Going as far as to say that if you want to live like a 'pig' who are they to judge, but they won't clean your room. Lots of stairs and a rickety wooden railing to get to the bar and pool area and you have to access the breakfast room via the back end of the house which is not inviting at all. The supposed heated pool is most definitely not heated. The wooden deck has beautiful views but can get very hot in summer and I don't recall seeing any umbrellas up there. The bar is locked up with a bell mounted on the wall and the owner tells you if you need a drink to ring the bell but then laughingly adds that he may or may not come to serve you depending on his mood. Breakfast was ok. This place is seriously over-priced for the state of the property and the rooms, never mind the rudeness of the owner. Not value for money at all and I can't even think of a single redeeming quality that might make me want to recommend this place. Look for elsewhere to stay in Montagu, t"

"I loved everything about this magical place. Natural beauty, ancient trees and fynbos are everywhere around. Fabulous friendly staff. Thanks to Thea for all her kind assistance on where to visit in Montagu. Delicious breakfast. A Juliette balcony in a spotless bedroom with views of the town and mountains. A great botanical shop. Loved the windmill pool. Congratulations to the owners and custodians of this beautiful property. "

"So we booked online for a day visit at Avalon Springs and by the looks of it on the website, we are more than looking forward to day. We made an online booking and made paynent. Website clearly states no coolerboxes, alcohol, etc etc. No problem as you can buy everything there. To our disappointment. When we got there, there were ONE q at the gate, for pre bookers and late sleepers who want to come. While standing in the q, there is no controle over guests. You start at the front and work backwards. 1 person standing in the q, and the rest of the 50 that came with them just push in. By the time you get in front and enter, the whole place is packed, what is the point for the online booking then. People arive there with their coolerboxes, plastic tables, looks like they have packed in their whole kitchen at home and clearly states on Avalon Springs website, no coolerboxes with food or alcohol. Those people are let in. There is a restaurant inside, with a option to buy braai meat. Avalon can't even keep with their own rules and regulations Limited pool access as there's only 3 small pools, like realy small and obviously a water slide. The cocktail bar where you can buy cool drinks are closed. The place was so packed no where to sit, as shades are a problem and tables not much. We just count or loses and left within 10 min. We spoke to the manager but I don't think thats going to make much of difference for furure. Not returning very soon. Not a day visit recommended place, unless you don't care and do as you like."

"良い経験。部屋は大丈夫だった。レストランでの夕食は素晴らしかった。朝食もとても良かった。冬の部屋に余分な毛布をありがとう。"

"This was our third visit to this hotel. Many changes had taken place since our last visit in 2015. We were very pleased with how the hotel has progressed under Mr and Mrs Basson. It has not lost any of it's charm and is even more comfortable than we remember. Service was fantastic, the Charlestons Restaurant excellent for breakfast and dinner and super pool and spa facilities.  'Feathers and Flatcaps' Cocktail Lounge also makes the best 'Dom Pedro' I've had in a long time. We can't wait to return and escape a UK winter!!!!  We only stayed 3 days..... not long enough!!"

"The Vineyard Country House is very centrally located in Montagu. We were warmly welcomed, and thoroughly enjoyed our two nights there. The breakfast was delicious, as was the light lunch we had there. "

"our stay was wonderful! we enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere, perfect garden and pool, very comfy beds and the tasty breakfast. Not to forget Monte Vista Boutique Hotel is in walking distance to very good restaurants. Highly recommend, we can´t wait to come back on our next trip!"
