A Journey Through the Mountain Gateway
Known as the “Gateway to the Little Karoo,” Montagu is a picturesque sanctuary famous for its thermal springs, Cape Dutch architecture, and dramatic mountain passes. Entering Montagu is a theatrical experience; you pass through the iconic “Hole in the Rock” at Cogmanskloof Pass, where 500-million-year-old sandstone formations tower over the road.
Founded in 1851, the town became a legendary 1936 health resort, attracting millionaires and weary travellers alike to its healing waters.
Today, it remains a vibrant village where the scent of dried fruit fills the air and every street corner tells a story of Victorian elegance and Karoo hospitality
