Jonkmanshof

James and I had the most memorable and wonderful stay at Jonkmanshof (20 Bath Street) for our honeymoon in October 2022. We had more than a few date postponements due to Covid but my gosh was it worth the wait! It was an absolute dream to finally come and stay. Every room is so beautifully and thoughtfully curated. The striking art, high ceilings, bed that made you feel you were sleeping on a cloud. And don’t even get me started on our bathroom! The open shower looking onto the freestanding bath and out beyond to the potted citrus garden. It was quite exceptional. The lounge is perfect for a late night coffee. One evening we had the whole house to ourselves, and we came back after dinner and played some of our wedding playlist and relived memories of the night.

The kitchen is absolutely perfect in every way - a place of dreams for two foodies like ourselves. We had the most delicious and thoughtfully put together breakfast there every morning. The kitchen opens onto an indoor succulent garden and conservatory of sorts… through the double doors you can see the beautiful raised eco pool with a view of the mountains behind. James swam while I read and admired the view. 😊 We were gifted a bottle of bubbles by Jonkmanshof to celebrate and one evening we toasted this beautiful place, the most memorable experience, and finally being able to celebrate being Mr and Mrs.

Tip: whether you’re staying at Jonkmanshof or a visitor to Montagu, be sure to visit their beautiful homeware store De Nagmaal. Open on Saturdays from 10:00-14:00, it is filled with beautiful objects you’ll want to take home to extend the memory of your stay. We treated ourselves to two hand painted plates, and tea towels to remember this special trip. If you’re a guest at Jonkmanshof speak to Hein and you may be able to visit the shop on a day that they are not usually open to the public.
