Centrally situated between Cape Town and
Oudtshoorn, Montagu on the Route 62 nestles in
the western corner of die Klein Karoo. A unique
rural atmosphere distinguishes Montagu as one of
the best preserved late Victorian agricultural villages in the Cape with a
variety of superb accommodation and
restaurants.
Because of the mountains surrounding the town,
Montagu is ideal for all mountain
related-sport and activities.
An
activity which prove to be quite popular is the
Montagu Tractor Trips. The
tractor/trailer takes you to the summit
of the Langeberg Mountain range and after a
brief stop at the summit (where muscadel is
served), a typical farmhouse potjiekos lunch
awaits at the end of this 3-hour excursion.
