COME VISIT US FOR THE DAY
Bring the whole family and make a day of the best of Montagu in our natural hot spring pools. Children work through the water slide and whatever else is running at the activity centre, from soccer to volleyball to chess, while the grown-ups get a braai going in the picnic areas, book a treatment at the spa, or simply stay in the water. Order a picnic or braai basket ahead, work through the poolside menu at Dassie’s, grab something quick from the cafe, or sit down properly at Cogman’s Restaurant, which has a menu built for adults and children in equal measure.
