Montana Guest Farm, South Africa

Adam Chapman

I paid Montana Guest Farm a quick visit and I was immediately struck by the beautiful gardens and gorgeous old farm house which has lovingly been restored. There is so much character at Montana from the owners themselves, to the details which abound in the rooms and common areas. It seems like a place to relax in for days on end under the shade of the many trees.

  • Adam Chapman

Montana, the original name of the farm, dates back to the early 18th century and was saved from going to ruin by the present owner, Wolfgang Beitz and his wife Dagmar. They restored the existing buildings to their former beauty with slightly modern undertones by creating a classic, yet stylish, feel with hints of African artefacts combined with pieces from a bygone era. The old and traditional farmhouse is about one hundred years old. It is this farmhouse, as well as the Milk Stall and the Old Shed which have been restored and is now the luxury en-suite accommodation. The perfectly landscaped gardens are filled with beautiful Jacaranda trees. These, together with the huge old oak trees, pepper trees, roses, aloes and palms create a feeling of paradise which is complemented by the breathtaking view over the Schoemanshoek Valley.
