La Montagne Lodge

The unit we stayed in was neat as a pin and perfect for our short stay. We were only over knighting this trip but would love to return and spend a bit longer in Riebeek Kasteel. La Montagne is within walking distance to the Hotel and Restaurants in the village. It is a perfect launch pad for many wineries and attractions in the area. Because of Riebeek Kasteel’s location we expect you will have transport in any case but we always prefer to walk of an evening to restaurants and pubs. Our room was small but cleverly laid out, very clean and well furnished with Aircon.

The weather in Cape Town during mid-July has been atrocious and we decided to get out of the city at the last minute. I booked us a King room on Friday afternoon and then our friends decided to join us too. We drove up from Cape Town on the Saturday and were met at the guest house by Anne-Marie, who was welcoming and went out of her way to show us around. Surprisingly we were the only guests and she gave us a choice of rooms, which was great. We opted for a loft room which was cozy and well appointed. Our stay was absolutely magnificent and if its a mini stay you looking for just an hour and 17 minute drive from Cape Town you will not be disappointed. To be fair our electric blanket did not work properly nor the air conditioner as we wanted to heat up the room in the freezing cold. The wall mounted heater worked well and took the chill off things. These small inconveniences did not detract from a wonderful break overnight and we would certainly consider revisiting La Montagne again. Thank you Anne-Marie for being there and hosting us.
