Bed and Breakfast Montana Guest Farm
Schoemanshoek, 6625 Oudtshoorn, South Africa – Great location - show map
The breakfast was to die for. The children could not stop eating. Lots to choose from

Spot on. Good selection of hot and cold food along with an excellent and friendly service.

They responded to my complaint and upgraded us to a honeymoon suite for the second night which was great Very friendly staff and owners - best in our 8 experiences this trip in SA Very good dinner and breakfast Ostrich farm - got to see many close up Berluda have very nice cottages and when Montana Guest Farm is renovated these will also be good - in the meantime I would avoid standard rooms

The staff went over and beyond to make us feel at home and to cater to our needs

Location was amazing - so peaceful and relaxing. Enjoyed walking around the farm and surrounding area as well as relaxing by the pool after a day out. Dinner of Ostrich steak was delicious-perfectly cooked by the chef. Would highly recommend this destination- 2 nights minimum stay.

Beautiful place to stay, nice luxuous suites, staff cool. We recommand the ostrich steak.

Good and warm Dinner, nice talks. Acts like an oasis

It is not the first time we have visited Montana Guest Farm and once again we enjoyed our stay. The setting is superb and it is so enjoyable to have dinner outside with the rest of the guests. Lovely swimming pool too!

Excellent venue, very professionally run, very clean, excellent food (but with limited menu, not to all persons tastes, but saves a 15 km trip back into town.!). Owners very interactive and like to get guests together, especially if an evening meal has been ordered. We would, given the chance stay here again.

I never felt so welcome and appreciated as a guest! Dagi and Wolfgang created a little paradise! It’s incredible with how much dedication, passion and joy this farm is run! The staff is super nice and the level of attention to detail is fantastic. The food wasn’t just good. It was cooked to perfection! We had a hard time leaving this place!

Laura Schoeman
Located in picturesque Schoemanshoek , a well known area in the Little Karoo, Montana Guest Farm is not only beautiful visually, but also appeals to the soul with its peaceful gardens and majestic mountains . The farm is a natural sanctuary boasting 9 Luxurious suites that are modernly decorated and equipped to ensure our guests' utmost comfort and convenience while staying with us. We accommodate anyone from individuals, to couples and families. We at Montana pride ourselves in providing a world class service to each and every guest that walks through our doors. In the end we don't only want our guests to leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated , but we also hope they depart from us with a sense of belonging .
Owners, Piet and Laura Schoeman, bought the Montana farm from the German owners who ran it for almost 20 years. Montana is now back in the Schoeman-family. Piet Schoeman is a 10th generation Schoeman in the Valley. His father and grandfather farmed on the neighboring farm of Berluda, mainly with apricots, tobacco and seed. Piet and his wife Laura, have been running Berluda Farmhouse and Cottages since 1998. She is a keen traveller, who spent years in Europe, where she learned to speak German and Dutch. She has a passion for tourism and people, and enjoys welcoming her guests personally. They have 3 children, and hope that one day one or more of the children will become involved in their farming and guest house enterprise. Piet is also an entrepeneur, and has slowly expanded his empire, to the point where he now runs the biggest ostrich farm in the world. It is our pleasure to take our guests on this interesting tour of a real working ostrich farm, incorporating all aspects of ostrich farming, and learning all about the latest trends in this dynamic industry. They invite you to stay with them and experience this tranquil valley in all its splendor.
Montana is a working ostrich farm nestled in the foothills of the Swartberg Mountains. With abundant fauna and flaura on the grounds around the property, it is truly a scenic setting that guests can explore on foot or by mountain bike. Montana is located close to numerous tourist attractions that Oudtshoorn is famous for. Amongst these are the Cango Caves and the scenic Swartberg Pass, arguably one of the most magnificent passes in South Africa. The historic road takes you over into the Great Karoo, to the quaint town of Prince Albert. Following the main road back, the Meiringspoort Gorge awaits visitors, and the cosy town of De Rust. In addition, guests can visit the Cango Wildlife Ranch, as well as one of the many local wineries in the area, or one of the interesting museums in town. The Ostrich Emporium is a must see. Coffee shops in the center of town invites you for afternoon breaks. Basically, Oudtshoorn is not an overnight stop, it is a destination in itself! With over 300 sunshine days per year, a few extra days to spend next to the sparkling swimming pool, is recommended. Winter or summer, the climate has something for everybody.
