Montagu, an oasis in the rough landscape of the Little Karoo, is on the scenic Route 62, connecting Cape Town and the Winelands with the Garden Route.

The semi-desert climate guarantees 360 days of sunshine, a fantastic spring season with flowers and blossoms everywhere and a mild winter with dry sunny days, ideal for hiking. Travelling time from Cape Town is about 2 hours, travel to the Wilderness and Garden Route about 4 hours.

MontEco Nature Reserve is about 26 km out of Montagu. It is a 11,000 hectare property, well-worth a visit for its undulating nature of the terrain, with mountains, dry riverbeds, trees and its 350 million years old fossils.

The Robertson wine route, just a stone throw away from Montagu offers a variety of award winning wines. The edges of the wine yards are filled with cannas or roses in full bloom in summer, making this a very pretty wine route to drive through.
