Mountain View, The Little Gem

We stayed at the aptly named Mountain View (one of The Little Gem cottages) when we last visited Montagu together for James’s birthday in November last year (2024). It was the most beautiful and restful stay. We arrived to a lovely (and delicious!) welcome platter which we enjoyed with a glass of wine to ease into our holiday. The cottage is a perfect stay for a couple. There’s a lovely outside braai area - great for outdoor cooking and dining - or daytime lounging with a good book. It’s a short walk from the Montagu Mountain Reserve - and depending on your energy levels you can enjoy a short work, or a day hike. The cottage is thoughtfully set up for a holiday stay, and if the weather keeps you indoors it’s cosy and comforting looking out to the mountain views in the distance. It was a charming place we would definitely return to.
