Little Sanctuary: An Adults-Only Escape in Montagu

A getaway offers the chance to step away from the constant hustle of everyday life. It is an opportunity to leave work and responsibilities behind and make time for beautiful surroundings, comfortable accommodation and the simple moments that make a break worthwhile.

For travellers seeking a peaceful adults-only getaway, Little Sanctuary in Montagu offers a tranquil escape surrounded by gardens, birdlife and striking mountain scenery.

Stay, Explore and Unwind in Montagu

Montagu is one of the Western Cape’s much-loved country towns. Voted Best Dorpie by KFM in 2026, it lies along the famous Route 62 and is surrounded by rugged mountain ranges, open landscapes, and some of the Western Cape’s most beautiful countryside.

The town offers an appealing mix of outdoor activities, restaurants, cafés, galleries. and local attractions, while Little Sanctuary provides a peaceful base from which to experience it all.

Spread across a 2.5-hectare property, Little Sanctuary is characterised by established gardens, indigenous fynbos, succulents, and abundant birdlife. Guests can enjoy the quiet of the natural surroundings while remaining conveniently close to Montagu’s restaurants, shops, and attractions.

The property offers a thoughtfully selected range of self-catering accommodation, allowing guests to choose between spacious luxury apartments or a more secluded mountain cottage.

The four luxury apartments share the same generous layout, with subtle differences giving each one its own character. Apartments 1 and 2 are positioned on the lower level, overlooking the established gardens, while Apartments 3 and 4 occupy the upper level and enjoy views across the surrounding valley.

Each apartment has its own patio, creating an inviting space for slow mornings, an afternoon drink or simply taking in the peaceful surroundings. Inside, guests will find spacious living areas and fully equipped kitchens, along with some welcome touches of luxury, including steam showers and spa baths.

For guests looking for a closer connection to nature, Eagle’s Nest offers a more secluded stay. Its comfortable open-plan layout includes a kitchenette, sleeping and seating areas, while the nearby braai area and natural swimming pool encourage guests to spend more time outdoors.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
