Nestled in a big open area surrounded by pecan nut, oak and Karee trees, is our large and shaded campsite. A favorite, particularly among climbers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Come and relax at De Bos Guest Farm, situated in the heart of Montagu, just 190km from Cape Town. We are set in an exquisite location with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. We offer a variety of child-friendly accommodation. We have five private Self-catering Cottages and our large, shaded Campsite has fireplaces, picnic tables and with a common kitchen area. We also have two refreshing swimming pools and a kiddies playground. Our working 5 hectare pecan nut farm has free roaming peacocks and guinea fowl as well as horses, ponies and donkeys. There is an abundance of bird life too.

We are centrally situated and are within walking distance of great restaurants, supermarkets, museums and so much to do. The beautiful town of Montagu is at the gateway to the Klein Karoo and is right on Route 62, a popular tourist destination. Montagu is host to some of the best rock climbing in South Africa and the activities that our area offers are exceptional. There are famous hot springs, horse riding, fabulous wine tasting, endless hiking and both on and off-road cycling. You name it, Montagu has it.

Montagu is one of the focal points for rock climbing in the Western Cape. It is a vibey little town on the border between the Karoo and the Breede River Valley. The climbing potential was recognized more than a quarter of a century ago and, when sport rock climbing took hold of the world, the crags around Montagu were set upon with a passion.

It became the go-to weekend place for Cape Town rock climbers (as well as to escape the rainy Cape Town weather). Routes are predominantly one pitch long with some excellent multi-pitch routes on Cogman's Buttress, on rock that is mostly excellent hard sandstone. The climbing is very varied and ranges from slabs to vertical walls to super-steep pump monsters.
