“good hospitality - very pleasant stay in Montagu”

Reviewed 30 November 2012

We reached this beautiful house in the evening. Cathy gave us the price quoted at the tourist information for the beautiful rooms. There was sherry in the lounge for the guest. There was also wi-fi available. Breakfast was excellent the following morning. Cathy made it a point to call the police for fear of road closure from Montagu to Cape... More

“A pleasant stay”

Reviewed 29 October 2012

On our way from Cape Town to Oudtshoorn we stayed 1 night at the John Motagu guesthouse. We had a clean and lovely room (see photograph). The manager (Cathy) offers a lot of information to the guests and on her advise we went to the hot springs of Montagu. Later that evening Cathy had made reservations at Jessica's where we... More

“Pleasant surprise II”

Reviewed 8 April 2012

During our trip from Durban to Capetown, our stay in John Montagu guest house was very good. The establishment is undoubtedly one of the best price vs. performance places we have stayed. Besides the pleasant overall physical atmosphere the hospitality also helped a lot to make our stay a better one. And the breakfast was also very good. Now we... More

“Pleasant surprise”

Reviewed 29 December 2011

After our somewhat disappointing stay for the previous couple of nights in Outdshoorn, our expectations were set pretty low. Arriving at John Montagu was like a breath of fresh air. We had a one night stay in the John Montagu, and I only wish it could have been longer. The house is quaint but beautiful and very clean. The manager,... More

“Lovely guesthouse”

Reviewed 20 December 2011

We booked a standard room and Cathy upgraded us to a larger room because it was empty so I certainly have nothing to complain about! I don't know what our original room looked like but the one we stayed in was beautiful. The house is wonderful, very charming, great breakfast, very friendly host. What else is there to say? Great...

“Very comfortable and convenient!”

Reviewed 28 October 2011

The Guesthouse was welcoming and cool after our hot road journey. We loved the decor. Staff were friendly and helpful. We needed to leave a little later the following day and we were able to keep the room with no additional charge. It is conveniently located near all the local eateries and shops. We were travelling the Route 62, so... More

“Rather disappointing but Truthfull”

Reviewed 17 October 2011

I chose this guesthouse after reading reviews on tripasvisor and was really disppointed. My husband and I had a 2 night stay at John Montagu and we both felt that there was not enough attention paid to the guests - it did not have that personal touch that we came across at other guesthouses. We never saw the owner as... More

We are really disillusioned to notice the review you have given us on Trip Advisor, especially in light of the favourable review you left in our guestbook. However being in the hospitality industry for a while now, we have come to realize you cannot please all. What some perceive as a ‘soulless’ guesthouse others regard as a haven of peace... More
