Welcome to Montagu & Ashton Tourism

Welcome to Montagu! Situated on Route 62 in the Klein Karoo, about 2 hours from Cape Town, Montagu was chosen the "Engen Town of the Year 2002". This peaceful town is steeped in history and is famous for its awe-inspiring rock formations, orchards, vineyards, local herbs and healing hot mineral springs.

Visitors will discover our wildflower nature garden, bird sanctuaries, nature reserves, museums, art galleries, historic homes, lovely hiking trails, 4x4 and mountain bike trails and ideal rock climbing opportunities. Ashton, situated about 10km outside Montagu, is just as ideally suited to explore this beautiful region.

At the Montagu & Ashton Tourism Bureau we are offering accommodation to suit all pockets. Among them you will find 5-star hotels, game lodges, guest houses, B&Bs, self-catering apartments/houses, caravan parks or remote farm cottages. We invite you to look around!
