There are some homeowners who effortlessly weave a rich story through the style and character of their home’s wares, who create a narrative for their houses to sing to those who wonder through their open doors. Indeed, the owners, have spun a Cape Dutch fairy tale in the rustic and infinitely charming form of Jonkmanshof, two guest houses a few doors from each other, each with two generous suites which can be taken individually or one can take a whole house for exclusive use.
These historic Cape Dutch farmhouses are situated in the tiny town of Montagu, in the western part of South Africa’s Little Karoo. Despite its modest population count, the little farm town boasts some of the most majestic of mountain landscapes. Painted in the traditional warm ochre hue, the gabled farmhouses each have beautifully stocked Mediterranean potted citrus gardens with views onto the surrounding mountainous wilderness.
The interiors of the homes are brimming with nostalgic, richly South African, old-world beauty. From the handmade clay tiles beneath one’s bare summer feet to the original river-reed ceilings, Jonkmanshof homes are something to behold. Almost every room is inhabited by a curated collection of the most magnificent antiques, all of them well-loved and well-used.
The kitchens are as grand as they are inviting and cool, offering a respite from the summer heat and perhaps something to nibble on your afternoon walk through to the garden. At 30 Bath Street, the library, otherwise known as the ‘Room of Curiosities,’ is one of the owners’ favourite spots, amidst the century-old books, treasures and talismans, take a seat, grab the nearest novel and escape.
These are getaway homes of rare and dignified beauty. Once you leave you will have made a generous, elegant, eccentric and richly distinguished new friend in the form of Jonkmanshof.

I just wanted to extend my thanks to both you and the owners for our fantastic break last weekend. Our time at Jonkmanshof was nothing short of magical. We felt we had travelled back in time and arrived in a simpler, more wholesome place. Apart from having to persuade my wife we could NOT have a pet chicken it was perfect!
I would just like to thank you and if you can please let the owners know, we had a wonderful weekend away it is a beautiful property and we did enjoy the cooking and the kitchen to its fullest!
