  • STAY Longer!

    This was the last stop before driving on to Hermanus, after 5 days of traveling over 2000km with 3 large dogs.

  • Must stay accommodation in Montagu

    We loved everything about this property! Huge yard with a veggie garden they let you use! The splash pool was heated and being able to sit in it during sunset was unmatched with the birds chirping in the background! The open windows to the mountains on both sides was unbelievable!! There’s no tv however the games they provided with the speaker made us for everything!

  • Just book it!

    Stil is next-level. This place is just lekker. From the location and architecture to the sculptures and attention to detail—everything feels carefully thought out and beautifully done. You can tell no corners were cut. Photos don’t come close, so take my word for it: just book it. We’ll definitely be back. Solid 10/10!

  • A serene escape in the heart of the village

    Set on a sprawling river front stand, the tranquil setting along the river is spectacular. The space is beautiful with many thoughtful touches. I enjoy relaxing on the couch, admiring the mountains and paging through their selection of travel books.

  • A place that recharges the mind, body and soul from the moment you enter the quietness - an experience that stays with you

    In a class of its own - it’s seldom that such a place is available, that’s because it’s the exception to the rule!
