Budget Getaways Review
Seeking out some rural bliss in Montagu’s urban jungle? Captain Getaway has found just the spot for you.
With views over the rugged Langeberg and a farm-style feel to the accommodation, Molly’s Cottage strikes a good balance between village suburbia and its nearby rural surrounds.
Set in a peaceful quarter of Montagu within a tranquil garden setting, Molly's sleeps two and is tastefully decorated with a mix of screed and wooden floors and simple, rustic furnishings. Decked out with a queen bed and ensuite bathroom with shower, a kitchenette with fridge, coffee making facilities and breakfast nook open to a covered patio and the communal pool.
There’s secure off-street parking for the chariot and towels, linen, tea and coffee are all thrown into the deal.
With a lengthy list of activities to keep you busy in and around Montagu, ranging from a day of teetering along the Breede River Wine Route, to tackling a mountain hike, or simply lazing around the town’s hot springs, Molly’s Cottage is the perfect base to return to at the end of an action-packed day.
So, for some urban-rural in the heart of Montagu village, you need look no further.
"Beautiful little place. Safe and secure. Enjoyed our long weekend away. Highly recommended for a breakaway from city life. Thank you very much!"

"It's the perfect place to relax."

"We took a quick little bike trip up to Montagu and booked at the last minute into Molly's one-bed cottage. It was a scorcher of a day, so it was such a treat that this little garden cottage looks out onto a lovely swimming pool. The cottage is absolutely beautifully decorated and you can see a great deal of thought and effort has gone into every last finish. The little kitchen was fully kitted with pots and pans and every type of utensil you could possibly need. The crisp white linen and fresh towels made the stay feel like we were on a little holiday. The owners were friendly and helpful, but at the same time gave us complete privacy. There was safe parking for the bike and we were given a remote for the gate so that we could come and go as we pleased. We highly recommend Molly's cottage, what great value for money and a superb atmosphere."

"Our stay at Molly's cottages was absolutely perfect. We stayed in the stable and it is ideal for a couple. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay and really is value for your money. The hubby and I spent our Saturday afternoon at the poolside and we did not see or hear the owners of this establishment once. Lovely for a quick couple breakaway from the hustle and bustle of the city."

"Molly's was the perfect little getaway for a weekend in the quaint town of Montagu. It is ideally positioned near the village, the decor is simple and stylish, and the veranda/garden/pool area is ideal for chilling out in the sun. The hosts were friendly but not at all overbearing. It felt like you had your own home away from home for the weekend. We are definitely coming back!"

"What a wonderful find in Montagu! Excellent for two couples wanting to get away a bit. Great swimming pool and the accommodation is really wonderful. Lots of care has been taken to make it a really lovely place - all the fine detail, CHECK! Vastly better than numerous regular self-catering places we've been staying at. This is more like the place your cool and arty nice aunt has renovated on her property and you and your friends love to hang out there weekends upon weekends. Great braai area as well, we played 30 seconds late into the night. And the owner and her partner were absolute stars! Thank you so much, it was lovely. We'll definitely return."
