The Capedry Montagu Farmstall – a must see on the R62

January 31, 2019

Located in the Karoo town of Montagu, Capedry Montagu Farmstall is the perfect little stopover for travellers heading down the famous Route 62.

With delicious fresh snacks and a beautiful fully-stocked curio shop, travellers can sample various Karoo delights and spend a few minutes checking out the unique items on offer.

Wine Boutique at Capedry Montagu Farmstall

The stall was established in 1991 by owner, Lizbe Viljoen. She started off simply selling dried fruits and nuts known as Capedry.

It has since grown into a much larger and increasingly popular operation with the locals that Lizbe had to build a bigger factory shop with enough space.

Today, you can get a wide variety of Capedry products such as Apple Rings, Cape Peeled Peaches, Royal Apricots and a variety of nuts, seeds and sweets.

A GREAT VARIETY ON OFFER

Besides their dried fruits and nuts, the Capedry Montagu Farmstall also has homemade products such as jams, chutney, rusks biltong and olive oil on offer. An assortment of teas and coffees can also be found on their shelves.

Fruits of excellent quality are produced here thanks to the many orchards in the surrounding area, which produce fruits such as peaches, pears, apples, apricots and more.

Another fabulous attraction of the Capedry Montagu Farmstall is their Wine Boutique. Here, travellers can get their hands on some top-notch wine labels to take home with. All the wine comes from the local vineyards of Montagu and the Breede River Valley.

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!
