“Wall to wall blue skies…”
Enjoy complete privacy in this country house with three garden rooms, warmed by splashes of colour and buckets of wild flowers, on a 6-acre lifestyle farm in the famous greenbelt of Montagu. Situated in the picturesque Western Cape of South Africa.
A perfect mix of nature, art and architecture, located where the rugged Langeberg mountains and Kingna River meet. Soak up the sun, enjoy wall to wall blue skies at the pool, or stroll along the art route in the late afternoon.
At night, bright starry skies accompany you to the nearby village restaurants.
The Farm
Aasvoëlkrans is a lifestyle farm, so it offers outdoors facilities. In summer, cool off in the private swimming pool or go hiking in the mountains. There is plenty sunshine in the large garden and when the sun goes down, a romantic starry night.
One of the town’s main tourist attractions is the Montagu Hot Mineral Water Springs. The springs are situated at Badskloof and the water is a lovely 43° Celsius. Hike along the Aasvoëlkrans Hiking route, which starts at our guest house. There are various trails in the area to choose from, such as the Cogmans Kloof trail and the Bloupunt trail.
If you are a wine lover, it is well worth visiting the wineries around Montagu, such as the Montagu Co-op Wine Cellar. A great selection of coffee shops and restaurants. Go and see the Thomas Bain Memorial Plaque and the old English Fort near the tunnel in Cogmans Kloof. Otherwise, take a stroll in town and visit the Town Museum and other historic houses.
The House and Cottages
In the shadow of the Aasvoëlkrans mountain on a six acre lifestyle farm bordering the village of Montagu, lies the unique Aasvoëlkrans Guest Farm. The house and cottages offer an informal setting with an artistic look and feel. A rounded corrugated roof, wood pillars and beams, plain whites on walls and big plates of glass are warmed by bright splashes of colour, soft furniture and an African motif, which is tastefully woven in. Carved animals pop up unexpectedly, indoors and out, sometimes even from large buckets of fresh flowers which were picked from Jeanne’s large, child-friendly garden.
