If you are entering Montagu from the Breede River you will be travelling alongside the old Bain's road through the spectacular Cogmans Kloof before reaching the Hole in the Rock, known locally as the Gateway to the Klein Karoo.
 
A variety of accommodation is available in Montagu including Hotels, Lodges, Bed and Breakfasts, Self-catering cottages, Farms and Camp sites.
