Oorlogs Kloof Mountain Retreat Montagu

Really amazing place. Very private and tranquil. Facilities are amazing. We will def be back for a longer period so we can take in some of the walks around the property. Very good communication from the establishment

Check-in process was a bit tedious seeing as how it was booked through Booking.com and all my particulars were already there.... just felt like a lot of extra paperwork when all we wanted to do was settle in. Also was a little surprized to find the "house rules" stuck on the wall that we were expected to wash up all the dishes before we left because of short turn-around..... this is something that I have never come across before in a serviced accommodation.

Die stilte en mooi naruurskoon. Chalet baie goed ingerig. Baie dankie aan Nic en Nina vir julle gasvryheid.

Alles was 100% Geen klagtes.

Beautiful, quiet location. Wonderful welcoming hosts. Lots of hiking routes with fragrant fynbos and panoramic views. Birds sining in morning. Naartjie picking. Modern decor house with all the necessary utensils and appliances. Both bedrooms had ensuite bathrooms. Little pool and lovely braai area.

Mattress was stiffer than usual.

great location for a getaway. beautiful surroundings. excellent accommodation. well appointed unit, very comfortable for 4 persons (2adults 2 kids). hosts attention to detail is appreciated

cannot fault Oorlogs Kloof. enjoyed every aspect of the short stay.

Lovely and peaceful, set right in the mountains. Enjoyed hiking and the beautiful scenery. Hosts we warm and welcoming and always willing to assist. Cottage was beautifully decorated, exceptionally clean and equipped with everything you needed. We loved our stay at Oorlogs Kloof.

The cleanliness was outstanding, the decor was very nice. Staff was very helpful and friendly

We had a wonderful stay here, the accommodation was very comfortable. Nina and Willem were very welcoming and helpful. The view from the cottage was absolutely stunning and we enjoyed walking and exploring.

Wer Ruhe und Abgeschieden lieb, ist dort richtig!

The property is wonderfully situated - very atmospheric and well appointed.

Great location with stunning views. Lovely trails for walking.

As silly as it sounds, we could have done with instructions on how to operate the fireplace.

The whole setting was just beautiful!

Great location and friendly host and staff. Great spot to unwind from daily life. Cabin had everything we required.

Nothing

The location is serene and stunning. The house is beautiful and the plunge pool is and extra benefit. The accomodation has all amenities you require and since no pets are allowed it guarantees that my family members do not suffer any allergen complications.

Nothing.

A beautiful property, exceptionally clean and well maintained with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay provided. Also, lots to do on the farm itself, hiking, swimming and bird watching. The host and staff were warm, welcoming and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The location is stunning and the facilities are outstanding. The host was very friendly and communicated well. Directions were clear and well-marked. Ideal for nature and outdoor lovers.

Too much to experience in a weekend. One needs to stay longer.

The property was immaculate, the location perfect, and given we encountered such hot weather, the pool couldn't have been better!

The living room could have done with a fan considering the hot weather.

Gwarrie was an exceptional little villa. It was cozy, clean, tastefully furnished, had a well-stocked kitchen, and comfortable beds. The patio with barbeque and nice pool mountain getawaywas very inviting. The view from the lounge is amazing. The villa is very private - you don’t see the other villas at all. I would recommend Oorlogskloof to anybody looking for a getaway from the city.

Nothing

Die Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit tragen zu einer vollständigen Erholung bei. Die umgebenden Berge bilden eine atemraubende Kulisse und bieten diverse Möglichkeiten für Wanderungen. Die Ausstattung ist vollständig und hochmodern. Das anhaltende Interesse der Gastgeberin an unserem Wohlbefinden war angenehm spürbar. Wir haben den Aufenthalt zum Ende unserer achtwöchigen Reise sehr genossen und sind sicher, dass wir im nächsten Jahr hierhin zurückkehren werden.

The space is beautifully kept, warm and inviting with thoughtful touches that make you feel instantly at home. Waking up to the serene views, fresh air and gentle sounds of nature was truly unforgettable. Every moment felt relaxing, calming and deeply restorative.

Great facility for a break away from the city. Well-appointed facility with all you need for self-catering. Quality finishes and comfortable accommodation.

Beautifully positioned and well appointed cottage! Stunning views in every direction! Gorgeous hike up into the mountains!

Very comfortable and beautiful home, fully equipped and have a pool. Very nice walking trials. Thanks William, we'll done. Please attend to the sign, at the entrance to OORLOGSKLOOF. Not easily visible!!!

Clean and comfortable new house. New beds, we'll maintained.

בקתה מדהימה, סופר סופר נקייה יש בריכה בחוץ ומקום מאד מאובזר הבקתה באמצע שום מקום השקט והכוכבים שרואים בלילה זה משהו מיוחד

הבקתה באמצע שום מקום יש קצת הרבה נסיעה בשביל עפר בשטח כדי להגיע אליה.. אין מזגן או מאוורר בסלון וחם שם מאד

Le cottage, son emplacement, et son équipement

Pas d'accueil, à part un jeune homme qui fait ce qu'il peut. On dirait qu'il n'y a personne pour vous renseigner. Manque d'un minimum de produits de base pour une location de ce niveau. Un seul transat pour 4....

Emplacement de rêve

Rien

What a beautiful stay! From our friendly hosts greeting to the scenic and breathtaking kloof surrounding us. Perfect spot to reconnect with nature. The cottage was spotlessly clean and everything needed was at hand. We really enjoyed cooling off in the pool in the summer heat.

Beautiful Location and cottages!! loved the fruit garden for pickings

Would have just like a dishwasher

From booking to leaving was a pleasure. Beautiful, tranquil, clean, space and venue.

Warm Welcome Beautiful mountain views

Beautiful views deck pool and very private! The layout is very well designed to ensure shade for the hot days and protected from the late afternoon breeze through the valley. Brilliant design!

The swimming pool pumps are very loud and they actually disturb the peace and quiet, I would recommend they set the timers for 10am - 4pm and explore sound proofing blankets which will dampen the sound allot ; finally I highly recommend solar heating for the pool.

The location is superb, the mountains are so beautiful and it’s just such a peaceful setting. The units are perfectly positioned and very well thought out, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back again

That it is in the mountains. A friendly host with a personal touch. The peace and quiet. Hiking trails

Location!

The surroundings were stunning and the cabin was even prettier than the pictures, we especially enjoyed the braai facilities and the pool. Also, super friendly and welcoming staff! Climbing and hiking in the area was great!

If anything, the lights (especially on the outside of the cabin) were a bit to bright and "cold", it would have been nice to have a bit more cozy lighting for dinner.

We enjoyed absolutely everything while staying at this beautiful retreat, from the beautiful scenery, to the hiking trails in the mountains, picking fruit on the farm and swimming in our own private pool, mountain views for days. Everything was just perfect! Great facilities, they've thought of everything. We loved our visit and can't wait to visit again in the near future.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this self-catering unit. The setting is breathtaking — surrounded by nature, fresh mountain air, and incredible views that instantly make you feel relaxed and refreshed.

Beautiful views and a comfortable stay. Very private. Ideal for a restful getaway.

Boendet var otroligt vackert och fint inrett. Allt var rent och det luktade gott. Vacker omgivning med fina vandringsleder. Det var finare än vad bilderna visade. Skönt med egen pool och en jättebra utegrill med bord och stolar under tak. Skydd för både sol och regn

Inget att klaga på

We stayed at Sandolien, one of the houses at Oorlofkloof Mountain Retreat near Montagu, and it was everything we hoped for and more. The house is beautifully and comfortably furnished, with fast Wi-Fi, a fully equipped kitchen and plenty of thoughtful touches. It feels luxurious yet completely unpretentious. The location is stunning – tucked away in the mountains with absolute silence and breathtaking views in every direction. Right from the house you have direct access to well-marked hiking trails that wind through the fynbos and along the kloof. After a day of walking, the private terrace with its braai and plunge pool was pure bliss – the ideal spot for sundowners and stargazing. Our host was incredibly warm, friendly and helpful, always available if we needed anything but never intrusive. Everything felt perfectly looked after. If you’re looking for a quiet, nature-filled getaway with a touch of luxury and total privacy, Oorlofkloof (and especially Sandolien) is hard to beat.

Great location. Not too far from Montague, but remote and quiet. Fantastic bird life

The only negative was that the river hiking trail was a bit overgrown. Would have been ok if we had the right bushwhacking clothes I guess.

Le cottage est bien équipé, moderne et spacieux. L’endroit est calme, juste les chants des oiseaux. Plein de routes de promenade au départ du cottage. La propriétaire est au petit soin pour ses hôtes. Merci pour le séjour.

What an amazing place! Exceptional host and superb facilities. Nothing was amiss!

Everything was perfect.

The accommodation is immaculate, like a home from home. Easy indoor/outdoor living and the pool a great bonus. We saw many wild birds and a buck and mongoose from our BBQ area. Seeing the stars in an area with no light pollution is amazing. The hosts are very warm, welcoming and have good communication. Well signposted hikes on the property. Thank you Oorlogs!

Nothing not to like.

More than we could have ever wished for. Excellent in every aspect.

Erica was a great host, Cottages have everything you need in beautiful surroundings

Peaceful and private cottages with exceptional views of the mountains and valley below. Comfortable beds. A friendly and considerate host. Good walks and a dam for bird watching, paddling and swimming.

Nothing.

Surrounded by mountains, nature, and serenity. The Wilde Olyf cottage was exceptional, clean, neat, and modern with everything you need. Hiking trials was amazing. This was our best get away from the city so far. Hosts are exceptionally friendly, warm and welcoming. Thank you Nic and Nna. We'll see you again. Interesting note: In the Bible, the olive tree symbolizes peace, hope, new beginnings. The olive tree and its abundant fruit were seen as signs of God's provision, favor, and blessing on the land

There is honestly nothing that we were dissatisfied about.

What a treat to have discovered this wonderful tranquil getaway set in the middle of nature. Well equipped with all you need and more. Loved the extra details, which made us feel special. Thanks, Nina, and your team for being attentive during our stay. We were blessed with wonderful weather, especially for the middle of winter! And managed to enjoy a few adventures along the various trails around the property. From leisurely walks to some aspiring mountaineering... there's something for all set in this most beautiful breathtaking landscape. We thoroughly enjoyed our family time stay and hope to visit again soon! Blessings to you all!

The gravel road was surprisingly good, but a word of caution that it is definitely not a road for low suspension vehicles. Our hatch with the 4 of us managed well.

The serenity, tranquility and peace. Nina was amazing and the cottage has alot of space. I would go back. Her directions to the place were spot on. Close to the town and her 100 things to do info sheet was very useful

Nothing

The views were spectacular. The accommodation was great. The birdlife was wonderful. Can't wait to come again. Nina was a great host.

Nothing

The place is a wildlife sanctuary and we enjoyed the diversity and beauty of the valley. We even saw a little sunbird every morning while we were sipping coffee and enjoyed the views. We did some hikes to the little waterfalls and we saw other people who were climbing the Rocky Mountain surface. They told us it is an excellent place for rock climbing.

All

Nothing

The mountains surrounding the cottage is breathtaking. So peaceful and relaxing. We will definitely be back. Tx Nina and staff

The location is beautiful and quite easy to reach from Montague. There is some dirt roads but they are well maintained. It was modern and neat. They have kept each cottage close together so it’s super convenient if you are booking a few cottages out, but they are spaced in a way that each cottage is very private. They have beautiful big windows in the lounge to let you enjoy the magnificent Mountain View’s. The wood fire in doors is fantastic in winter! We enjoyed visiting the vegetable/ fruit growing enclosure close to the main house.

Nothing.

This is a beautiful location, with a very well appointed and comfortable cottage with great views. Easy to access the trails. Excellent host.

We were there in very cold weather, and the fireplace works very well to keep the main area comfortable. A very minor consideration might be to also have floor rugs in, e.g. the bedrooms, for getting up on a cold morning.

The location of the cottage was beautiful in the middle of nature. The hiking trails and mountains views were stunning. The cottage had all the facilities we needed and was very comfortable. The kids liked the canoe facilities on the dam. Nina was very responsive and friendly. We definitely hope to be back again!

Everything was perfect cant find a fault at all. Rooms are extremely clean and units are very well equiped. The gravel road was not a problem for our minivan. I can highly recommend this accomodation. Thanks to Nina and her great team!

Nothing

Resort nettles right close up in the mountains, secluded and very peaceful. Lovely walks through the undisturbed natural vegetation. Comfy, spacious well equipped accomodation. The Host Nina was very helpful and always available to answer any requests or questions.

Nothing. Everything met our expectations.

Great cottage, lovely location, perfect place to recharge body and soul Nina a great host

Very clean and the staff was very professional

Nothing

The location was wonderfully secluded — a hidden gem surrounded by nature, offering peace, tranquility, and stunning scenery. The hiking trails on the property were a highlight, perfect for exploring the outdoors. Our host, Nina, was exceptionally responsive and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

We had a weekend getaway and wish we could have stayed longer. The place matched the pictures and everything met/exceeded our expectations. The house was spotless (inside and out) and the views were amazing! Nina and Mary-ann are great hosts! We cant wait to go back!

That we were only able to stay for a quick weekend trip

Nina went out of her way to communicate and let us feel comfortable and welcomed. The hiking into the Kloof was wonderful and exactly what we wanted for our weekend.

We loved the unit - it surpassed our expectations. Our beds were made up beautifully with red roses from the climbing roses outside. The unit was tastefully furnished, had everything we needed in the kitchen - really really happy with all the kitchen appliances, crockery and cutlery. Loved the enamel kettle to use on the gas stove and was completed with enamel cups. The outside braai had wood and there were matches and a lighter in the kitchen drawers. Everything was in working order, clean and felt like we could stay forever. The view is gorgeous and it is so quiet and peaceful. The stacking doors makes for an indoor-outdoor living experience and we lounged around the pool and veranda on the warm days. It was not cold enough to start up the fireplace, but I can see how that would just be cozy in the cold, wet winter days. Nina is very kind and helpful. We felt taken care of the entire time and knew we could ask for help at any time. I would recommend this stay and would stay there again.

There was nothing that we disliked that much, that it is worth noting here. It should just be noted that the property is on a farm about 18km outside of Montagu with a 1.6km gravel road to travel on. This should not put you off though, just be prepared for it.

Friendly service, excellent location, great stay

Everything was good

The setting in the mountains was breath takingly beautiful. It was peaceful, and it was wonderful to be in nature like this. The units were extremely clean and comfortable. The attention to detail was wonderful. The hosts were welcoming and very helpful.

Nothing

We had a lovely stay. Beautiful surroundings. The house was very cozy and Nina was super helpful.

This is certainly one of the nicest places we've ever stayed at. My wife and I often go on holiday but this one is truly memorable. We got much more then what we paid for. A real gem. The house, exquisite decor, beautiful scenery and friendly host Nina exceeded our expectations. If you love your own space and privacy, please visit--You won't be disappointed..... Just make sure you book a couple of days, as you'll regret not staying longer ❤️😁

That we didn't find this gem sooner

We loved the location , secluded and private whilst surrounded by beautiful nature

Views were spectacular and the unit was beautiful. Lovely hiking trails. Private pool a huge bonus especially in the heat

Extremely hot and the fan wasn’t strong enough.

The views are breathtaking, the Unit location was perfect, and the patio is protected from the afternoon wind. Very neat and well maintained inside and out. The walking trails is a must do, the fauna and flora is a joy.

We were very happy with everything - our hosts are the best.

Looking at the stars at night is incredible, and the hike was lovely (though very hot!). Property is very comfortable and furnished to an extremely high standard. The pool is wonderful and the braai area is well organised. The chalet has everything you need. There is also good internet and a TV with streaming services, which is great if you want to entertain kids.

The drive in is a bit of a challenge in a conventional car. Make sure you arrive in good light, and take it slow.
