Overview

Mimosa Lodge is an independent guesthouse in the picturesque spa town of Montagu, within the heart of the Route 62 Winelands Trail in South Africa’s Western Cape. Two hours’ drive from Cape Town and ideally placed for the Robertson Wine Valley and the Klein Karoo, the lodge offers spacious accommodation, a tranquil garden with a swimming pool, and an award winning restaurant.

Built in 1859, the lodge sits in a peaceful location, framed by the stunning Langeberg Mountains, with a swimming pool and a boules pitch within its rambling, verdant grounds. Mimosa’s multi award winning restaurant offers a four course, fine dining menu. Focusing on locally sourced, seasonal cuisine, specialities include ostrich, lamb, and springbok.

Activities include hiking along the beautiful trails of the Montagu Mountain Nature Reserve and Langeberg mountains, as well as quad biking, rock climbing, and mountain biking. The nearby Robertson Valley wine route towns of Bonnievale, McGregor, Robertston and Ashton offer abundant tasting opportunities, along with cellar tours. Or simply relax in Montagu’s Avalon thermal hot springs, renowned for their rejuvenating properties.

Accommodation comprises 23 rooms and suites within the lodge, plus an additional four rooms in a sister property nearby. All rooms come with ceiling fans, and some have air conditioning. Breakfast is included in the cost of your stay.

The main lodge has 11 classic rooms, traditionally decorated and furnished. Facilities comprise double or twin beds and an ensuite bathroom with shower, or bath and hand shower.

  • Thank you, we had an absolute wonderful time, and everything was well-planned and as described. Carla was crying on the day of our departure from Ants Nest, she didn’t want to go home and for it all to end, and when I asked how much longer she would want to stay, she responded “four weeks”

  • It was certainly a holiday of a lifetime for us and we loved every minute!! The standard and location of each accommodation was excellent, as was the variety of each different accommodation type. Our schedule was perfect and we managed to achieve everything on our to-do task list. Your documents were also really helpful, as were the driving directions. We all thank you for making this such a wonderful holiday. Happy to leave a review publicly if you point me the right way. Best Steve

  • Hi Lisa, We had a fabulous time thank you. The accommodation and other ideation were all terrific - that’s so much for your help. The apartment in Cape Town was particularly good - we would never have found that: Boschendal was great as well and game lodge was superb. Thanks again, Alistair
