Mountain View Eco Lodge Montagu — Hotel in Langeberg Local Municipality

I lost 50% of my desposit when I wanted to change my booking at Mountain View Lodge.The property were not willing to change my dates and would rather have me forfeit half my money and cancel my entire visit to Montague! ||||My other option was to forfeit my first night as I could only arrive the following afternoon for a rushed and shorter weekend than intended.||||The Booking site I used (one of the popular ones on Tripadvisor) appeared more than willing to help me, so it was up to the property to make the final decision. They refused to help me - twice!|| ||Needless to say I will never stay here, and judging by some of the comments the owner/manager often treats guests and prospective guests with disdain. Very short sighted - consider yourself duly warned about customer service at this...

Undoubtedly Mountain View Lodge does not only have the most picturesque views overlooking Montagu & the awe-inspiring mountainous regions leading to Barrydale, but the pool, bar & elevated deck area have you feeling like you are in a far away world.

While a few steps one way will have you in the center of the town with the towns church steeple towering over you on one side & some rather uniquely original venues to choose from to either have a cold one with some good ol local folk, or be a true wonderer & go discover Lovers Walk in an adventure in natures most natural feats I have witnesses to date.

The intrigue only ends when you want it to end... Might as well discover it all for yourself...

We are 3 Belgians who were hiking in the beautiful surroundings of Montagu on a lovely Sunday ☀️.

Suddenly, we saw a Belgian flag 🇧🇪, home at last! This Belgian flag appears to represent an ‘eco’ guesthouse, so we called at the door with the following message: “we are Belgians in desperate need of some Belgian food.” Keen to enjoy some renowned Belgian hospitality.

The owner replied “that is not my problem, just take the first plane back home.” At first, we believed this was a joke but an awkward silence remained. He added “we are only open to guests.”

We hope the guests are treated with more kindness...
