La Montagne Lodge

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.

Spent the weekend in the Riebeek Kasteel area with our 4x4Cape Club. Enjoy the Chairman's lunch on Saturday and explore some of the local beer tasting venues that was enjoyed by all. We decided to stay over for the night to have a fresh start Sunday morning. After a few calls we were offers a double "outside" room at the fantastic La Montagne Bed and Breakfast. We arrived an were welcomed by the owner, Anne-marie Auret and were "treated like kings". She introduced us to the establishment and lead us to our room. Outstanding room with all the requirements i.e. Shower, bathroom and the main area that have a heated double bead with fresh linen, blankets etc. The fridge had milk and ice for our usage. Coffee, tea etc. was available. Breakfast was available for the next morning, but we declined due to early departure. I will highly recommend La Montagne Bed and Breakfast in Riebeel kasteel to anybody the need a good and comfortable stay.
