Somerset Lodge, Montagu

We appreciated the very friendly welcome from David. He was most concerned about finding us a good place to eat and booked us a table at " Simply Delicious " where we were served the best meal of our whole holiday in South Africa. Our rooms were spotlessly clean and elegant. We enjoyed a good breakfast, stylishly served. We would certainly recommend Somerset Lodge as a very good stop-over if you are travelling Route 62.

Had a very nice stay, unit was well-equipped and clean with all the necessary accessories. Bathroom quite tiny but sufficient. Lovely quiet and safe neighborhood, We received a warm reception, David is an exceptional host.

We had such an amazing time at Somerset Lodge. The owner and his staff are very friendly. I would definitely recommend it to friends and colleagues! Had a wonderful stay!

David heartly welcomed us, beautifully arranged room, breakfast and all around. Wonderful flower arrangements.

We have just enjoyed a 10 night stay in the self-catering room “ KEARSNEY “, which forms part of this charming B&B in the wonderful town of Montagu. There is so much to rave about in this establishment , viz . The self-catering facilities are excellent and we wanted for nothing. The cupboards were well stocked with choice utensils and everything had been thought of in the room . There is an excellent fridge, microwave,2 plate stove etc and the rooms are cleaned regularly by the excellent “ Rosie”. There are so many points that “sell”‘ this B&B – in particular our room had a great air conditioning system (perfect in the summer heat), TV with 2 DSTV channels, braai facilities and in the grounds was a delightful splash pool. All these features coupled with very reasonable rates were a real winner for us! If that is not enough, the owner – David – is an amazing person, so helpful and charming and must be the most well travelled person imaginable and he can recreate so many amazing tales from around the world. The peace and quiet of the B&B and town in general are also worth the cost of the stay alone and the town has so many attractions from historical buildings, dried fruit sales and wine cellars, mineral springs and the wonderful mountains that surround it. Not surprisingly it was voted “Town of the Year“ in 2012. On the last day of our visit we had breakfast in the dining room (at an additional cost) – well, we have had breakfast in many, many different establishments but this must certainly rate as one of – if not THE best, that we have experienced. The amount of effort that David puts into producing such a top quality breakfast is rare in B&B’s and not only is it delicious but also a feast for the eyes! Really worthwhile to have. With the magnificent garden and the owners being meticulous about every aspect of their business there can be no better place to stay in Montagu and we hope that Somerset Lodge just goes from strength to strength!

What a beautiful place in a wonderful garden setting, very peaceful with a very charming and friendly host. An excellent breakfast was served! We enjoyed it very much and can highly recommend it!

We enjoyed the stay in Somerset Lodge very much. After an opulent breakfast you can enjoy your day in this little town. David is a more than nice and helpful host, no problem left unsolved. Many thanks for those amazing three days!
