Pecan Tree Cottage is very comfortable and well equipped with everything you need in a self catered cottage. Great plunge pool and wood fired hot tub! Philip was an amazing host and even left us some wine and cheese to settle in!

Absolutely nothing to complain about.

Everything about our stay at Pecan Tree was amazing. Phillip treated us like royalty... the amount of effort that he puts in to make one's stay amazing, needs to be applauded. The cottage is perfect for a long stay... it's got everything you'll need. We will definately see Phil again and this time we'll stay a lot longer.

Stayed in September 2024

Loved everything. No complaint what so ever . It was a stunning romantic weekend away, I would come back in a heart beat, if Philip would have us .

I loved the style of the house, and that it had everything you ever could think of needing. I loved that we were welcomed by Philip the lovely host, with a cheese platter and wine. I loved the kolkol woodfire hot tub. I loved our view and the sunshine from the stoop, I loved that we could go hiking just by walking out the door. I loved the local market on Saturday in the main road of the town. I loved the beautiful scenic hikes

Nothing at all

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pecan Tree Corrage. The apartment was lovely and clean and had everything that we needed to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The cottage is on the outskirts of Montagu and is overlooking vineyards. So nice and peaceful. The host was extremely helpful and supplied us with a lot of very useful information wrt places to go and places to see. He even booked us a table at a nearby restaurant for the evening. The fridge was stocked with cheese, pickles, wine and a freshly baked loaf of bread. What a surprise.!!! Can definitely recommend this stay.

Anything under the "Did not like" category would honestly be nitpicking or related to personal preference. Our stay was next to perfect and we wish we could've stayed longer and were more lucky with the weather. If you are interested in the small nitpicking (which honestly doesn't impact your stay at all), the iron seems a little old and works slow; but still did a perfect job. When you use the bath, the water is nice and warm for a minute or so, then turns very cold and then warms up again and works fine. All you need is a bit of patience until the water gets warm properly. And my pc charger didn't fit in any of the plugs but it's a bit of a weird size anyway.

Philip messaged well beforehand with all details needed and included some very good tips for stops along the way. Shortly after arrival he came to greet and make sure everything was in order as well as gave mor tips on possible activities in the surrounding arreas. Upon arrival there was a cheese platter and bottle of wine; some sweets; freshly baked bread and homemade muffins. Every single one of them absolutely delicious! Everthing in the house you could possibly need is proved. More spice than I have seen at other places (usually only pepper and salt), different types of coffee, fresh milk and butter, musquito spray, plug adapters, extra blankets... When it comes to self-catering units this is without a doubt the place with the most stuff available so you can travel light. There are towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner and even tooth paste. There's a hair dryer, an iron with ironing board, all braai equipment except wood, spices, pots, pans, bowls, books, board games, touristic information, musquito spray... I could go on. The couch is probably the most comfortable couch I have ever sat on in my life, without exagerration. I could go on and on; but the bottom line is that the high score is extremely deserved and you won't regret staying here. If anything, you'll regret not booking for a longer stay.

The house was extremely clean, with all necessary amenities and so much more. The perfect place for a peaceful getaway. The hosts went the extra mile. We felt right at home, and the hosts literally thought of everything.

Lovely place, quiet, peaceful, very well equipped. The cheese platter, bread and bottle of wine waiting for us when we got there was a lovely touch. Will happily stay there again next time we are in the area

A dress mirror would be the perfect addition to the property.

The property was the perfect base for our visit to the area. It provided all the amenities needed for a romantic getaway.

The driveway is the only SLIGHT negative as it is very tight for larger vehicles, but again Pihilip gives good advice on the best way to maneuver this.

Philip is an exceptional host. The extra touches such as the delicious cheese platter and wine on arrival and the freshly baked muffins on departure clearly show what a wonderful host he is. He gave us great advice on places worth visiting too. The cottage is beautifully decorated and meets all needs. The washing machine was a real win. Added features such as the pool and bicycles make this a MUST for your next stay.

Would have liked DSTV but caught up on lots of episodes of the Crown.

Host Philip is exceptional. The welcome pack is superb and Philip's advice and guidance really enhanced our four night stay in Montagu. We will be back.

A real gem and very clean and lovely place in a quiet street. An amazing platter and good wine welcomed us. The staff, Rentia is a friendly, warm person. It was my husbands birthday and he was surprised with huge tasty cupcakes which showed the thoughtfulness of the owners. We loved the shower and also the splash pool with it’s stunning view of the mountains. Everything in the apartment is lovely and good quality. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Had an amazing stay. Got a few surprises, such hospitable owners.

Stayed in January 2023

The only thing lacking for us was a HDMI cable(something we forgot to bring along) which Philip was more than happy to help us with as soon as we asked.

The moment we arrived, we were treated to welcoming snacks and a cheeseboard. Philip & Sheryl really go out of their way to make sure your stay is both comfortable & pleasant. Philip also helped a lot with suggestions of things to do in the area. The property is even more beautiful than the photos suggest & fully equipped with everything you need during your stay, from loadshedding lights & candles to fresh milk, water & a lovely bottle of sparkling juice left in the fridge to enjoy. On the morning we left Sheryl baked muffins which we were also given to enjoy with our last cup of coffee.

We had an absolute wonderful time at Pecan Tree Cottage. It was neat, great service,fully equipped house and what stood out was the warm welcome of a complimentary platter + sparkling wine and a beautiful note from the owners.. 1 night was not enough :(

We were warmly welcomed by the host and were extremely surprised by the cheese platter and a delicious bottle of wine. The attention to even the smallest detail really added to the pleasure of our stay. And a fantastic surprised of freshly baked scones on Sunday morning............what a treat :-) Peacan Cottage itself is very beautiful & the surrounding area is soul food to recharge our exhausted minds and spirits. We will highly recommend this place and be back again soon.
