"Friendly stay"
31 May 2016"Koo Karoo is within walking distance of restaurants and mid town Montagu. The owner, Shirley, originally from the UK but purely South African in heart, is friendly and goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable. The room was well appointed with everything we needed and the fireplace place in main lounge made for a cosy and delicious breakfast in the morning. An enjoyable stay. <br />"

02 January 2009"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here: Montagu is a friendly, relaxed and lovely place, and this guest house matches that well. Shirley and Paul are excellent hosts, and their descriptions of the local restaurants was good and accurate - with bookings of the chosen ones to make it even easier. The room was well presented and comfortable. All round excellent."

"Montagu...the perfect weekend away"
05 May 2008"Our stay at Koo Karoo Guest Lodge was most enjoyable and Paul and Shirley were the perfect hosts. They are well informed about everything Montagu and surroundings have to offer to the tourist and recommended lovely restaurants (and even made the bookings for us).The facilities are excellent, clean, and safe and have a very homely feel about it and the hearty breakfast we were served in the mornings was delicious. Koo Karoo Guest Lodge is centrally located and within walking distance of a variety of good restaurants and shops. The owners/managers are passionate about what they do, and it shows in the quality and service we received. My husband and I are definitely going back as we had a wonderful stay in Montagu and will stay nowhere else than at Paul and Shirley’s."
