Great place. The 360-degree view from the deck. Comfortable accommodation. Nice breakfast and an especially great shower.

Basic, but adequate for the price. I guess that this establishment was once a bit more well-kept based on the pictures. Things seem a bit dated. It's nothing special, but fine for a quick one-night stay-over. The bar and restaurant that is advertised seem more like an "oh ok, if you really want to make use of it I guess we can accommodate you" kind of setup. I would have liked to try one of their imported beers, but the bar was abandoned with minimal stock and mostly empty fridges, with no indication of how to get service. I could have gone to ask the owner, but they were busy having a "braai" with their friends/family and I did not want to disturb them walking in on their gathering. The breakfast we had included with our stay was "fine", but not of a high standard by any means. A buffet was provided, which consisted of a kitchen plate with a few fruits and small cups of yoghurt placed on it. We could order a "free" omelet or egg breakfast with the "modest" buffet (as it is advertised). We ate, it tasted good, we thanked them and we left. The owners were never directly unprofessional, but my wife and I both got the idea that they were just "riding it out", and if there was once a bit of passion involved in the project, it seems to be missing in action at this point in time. Statements provided on informational booklets, that read: "Don't complain about "xxx", this is Africa after all", speak for itself as to their attitude towards having a go at being the best they can be. Africa has its problems, but business owners using this to "warrant" offering a lower class of service, instead of rising to the occasion and working around the problem, is not contributing anything constructive. No, I don't think I'll ever visit here again.

Nice place, pool great. Very nice place, needs a bit stronger light on bedside tables and maybe a small fridge in the room. Pool and breakfast were great.

Lekker plek, swembad puik. Baie lekker plek, kort bietjie sterker lig op bedkassies en miskien 'n yskassie in die kamer. Swembad en ontbyt was puik.

Comfortable and peaceful getaway with a beautiful view. Beautifully located on the mountain, panoramic views, secure parking, customer friendly service. We would love to come back!

Gerieflike en rustige wegbreekplek met pragtige uitsig. Pragtig geleë teen die berg, panoramiese uitsigte, veilige parkering, kliëntevriendelike diens. Ons sal graag terugkom!

Nice, but not great! Reasons I wouldn't recommend: There are quite a few stairs to the rooms and we weren't aware of that. Important to indicate this on the website, especially if you have a lot of heavy luggage. Owner did help upon arrival. Although rooms are spacious, tidy, well-equipped and tasteful, there is no privacy as all rooms open onto corridors to pool, bar and rooftop. With only sliding doors, it was impractical to enjoy fresh air in the heat without giving up privacy.

Lekker, maar nie wonderlik nie! Redes waarom ek dit nie sou aanbeveel nie: Daar is heelwat trappe na die kamers en ons was nie bewus daarvan nie. Belangrik om dit op webtuiste aan te dui, veral as mens baie en swaar bagasie het. Eienaar het met aankoms wel gehelp. Alhoewel kamers ruim, netjies, goed toegerus en smaakvol is, is daar geen privaatheid nie, aangesien al die kamers uitloop op gang na swembad, kroeg en dak. Met slegs skuifdeure was dit onprakties om in die hitte vars lug te geniet sonder om privaatheid prys te gee.

Real value for money. Good place to stay. Breakfast was good especially the farm omelette. Just wish there was a common fridge and a microwave.

The service and stay was pleasant. The location and area is ideal for tourists. The only negative would be that the bathroom doesn't have a door and the howling wind due to the location can be quite disturbing, but it is part of nature and out of the owners' control. Very friendly hosts who welcomed us warmly.

Die diens en verblyf was aangenaam. Die ligging en omgewing is ideaal vir toeriste. Die enigste negatief is die badkamer sonder 'n deur en die huilende wind a.g.v die ligging wat nogal steurend was, maar dit is deel van die natuur en buite eienaars se beheer. Baie vriendelike gasheer en gasvrou en ontvangs was verwelkomend.

Very disappointed. Mountain View advertises as a lodge with lodge rates. It is, however, nothing but a backpackers with an en suite bathroom and a big bed. There is no basic amenities such as a bar fridge, bottled water or TV. The WiFi's signal was very weak - mostly no signal - for which they blame the fact that they are in Africa. The host and hostess were very friendly and welcoming and there is a lovely heated pool and deck with great views, but rooms and cast iron animals in the garden, doesn't make it a lodge. If they halve their rates, it might justify the value of the type of accommodation. I blame myself for the error of judgement, since I have not read their reviews and made my decision based on the name and the pictures I saw.

Baie teleurgesteld. Mountain View adverteer as 'n lodge met lodge tariewe. Dit is egter niks anders as 'n backpackers met 'n en-suite badkamer en oorgrote bed nie. Daar is geen basiese geriewe soos 'n kroegyskas, gebottelde water of TV nie. Die WiFi het bitter swak sein - meestal geen - waarvoor hulle die feit dat hulle in Afrika is blameer. Die gasheer en gasvrou is egter baie vriendelik en verwelkomend en daar is 'n lieflike verhitte swembad en dek met 'n pragtige uitsig, maar aangeboude kamers en gegote yster diere in die tuin maak nie van die plek 'n "lodge" nie. As hulle hul tariewe halveer, kan dit dalk die waarde van die tipe akkommodasie regverdig. Ek blameer myself egter vir die oordeelsfout aangesien ek nie hulle resensies gelees het nie en my besluit geskoei het op die naam en die foto's wat ek gesien het.

Mountain View Lodge Montagu

We do not advertise TV's in the room, nor do we advertise a refrigerator or air-conditioning in the room. What we advertise and what the pictures show on the webpage is what we offer : A spacious room with en-suite bathroom, coffee- and tea-making facilities in the room, an onsite bar with local wines and Belgian beer, an onsite restaurant (open on reservation for guests only), a heated swimming pool, a roof terrace that overlooks the entire town, a peaceful, quiet and save environment. It is impossible to please everyone, but it is possible to provide the correct information: Backpackers: property that provides a bed, mostly in a dorm, with communal bathroom and toilet, B&B: Property that provides guests rooms with breakfast, Lodge: Same as a B&B but also provides more than just breakfast, i.e. dinners, bar, etc, Hotel: same as lodge but with a 24 hour open reception.

Ons adverteer nie TV's in die kamer nie, en ons adverteer ook nie 'n yskas of lugversorging in die kamer nie. Wat ons adverteer en wat die foto's op die webblad wys, is wat ons bied: 'n Ruim kamer met en suite-badkamer, koffie- en teemaakgeriewe in die kamer, 'n kroeg op die perseel met plaaslike wyne en Belgiese bier, 'n restaurant op die perseel ( oop op bespreking slegs vir gaste), 'n verhitte swembad, 'n dakterras wat oor die hele dorp uitkyk, 'n rustige, stil en veilige omgewing. Dit is onmoontlik om almal tevrede te stel, maar dit is moontlik om die korrekte inligting te verskaf: Rugsakreisigers: eiendom wat 'n bed voorsien, meestal in 'n koshuis, met gemeenskaplike badkamer en toilet, B&B: Eiendom wat gaste kamers met ontbyt voorsien, Lodge: Dieselfde as 'n B&B, maar bied ook meer as net ontbyt, dit wil sê aandetes, kroeg, ens. Hotel: dieselfde as lodge maar met 'n 24 uur oop ontvangs.
