Kingna Lodge Montagu

Super friendly owner, nice and interesting collections, Victorian style furniture, elegant floral decoration with fresh flowers in the room, nice garden and pool. Highly recommended.

Best historical place and accomodation we ever where. Stunning hospitality by John. Sitting outside at the Veranda discussing things with a beer into the night....a good bar inside....we felt at home. Thanks very much, John! We loved staying with you!

A home from home, lovely place to stay. John and Joy make you feel so welcome. Location was perfect. Loved the history of the house and the garden. The swimming pool amazing to cool off in the hot weather.

We arrived at the lodge at 15:30. There was nobody to receive us. We paid in advance, but nobody told us that our reservation was canceled. We found out from a neighbour that the owner had a heartattack and was in intensive care in hospital. Later tourist information phoned him and had quite a long conversation with him (in intensive care?) My question is: does the whole business rely on the owner or does the business close without warning if the owner falls ill?

We stayed at this guesthouse for the second time, and again, it was fantastic. The building, loaded with history and memorabilia is worth being seen. To sleep in the room, where the former president of South Africa, Mr Nelson Mandela, stayed, has been a great experience. The house has also modern amenities as a secluded pool. Last to mention is the host, John, who cares in every respect for his guests, beginning with a very warm welcome, advices for tours, recommendations and reservations for dinner, to the farewell. If we visit Cape Town next time, we deliberately will make a visit to Montague and Kingna Lodge.
