70 guests' feedbackOur stay was fun. Many thanks to little gem and the owner. This place is truly an average. Very well equipped and our dog children enjoyed it there just as much. They were safe and could move around without us having to stress about them getting out. To the hostess, thank you for all our treats. It was a surprise and delicious, and it made us feel so special.
It was pure pampering - a nice cheese board, biscuits, yoghurt and muesli and even biscuits for our dog. It was blissful to relax in the beautiful patio area after a long day.
The cottage was lovely and had everything we needed. We loved the little touches with the welcome cheese platter, muscadel, rusks, spices in the drawer, water and yoghurt in the fridge. Even coffee and tea were provided. As we checked in on Women's Day, chocolates were left for me. Would definitely recommend this place as Montagu is such a pretty town.
Little Gem made us feel like a king and queen, our 4-foot child like a princess. It was neat, clean, cuddly and Little Gem's attention to small details pleasantly surprised us. We would definitely make a special trip to Montagu again just to stay there. Cheese board with crackers for us and special doggie treats for Bailey.
Quiet location with beautiful views. The cottage is lovely, equipped with everything you need. Historic, yet with all the modern amenities one needs. So neat and beautifully kept, beautifully clean and fresh. The garden is beautiful and fenced making it ideal when travelling with our doggy. Will definitely stay here again!
Very neat and tidy little house. The owner was very welcoming and very helpful. Perfect for a weekend getaway.
Unbelievably nice stay in Montagu.
The children did not want to go home. Was very pleasant there. I would love to go again.
I really enjoyed it at the little gem.
Best pet friendly place. Clean and tidy.
No person at reception. Do not answer phone call to book. No arrangements made where to leave our key.
Circumstances may not have been favorable for our stay. Won't go back though and definitely wouldn't recommend to anyone in the winter.
One for the books and we really enjoyed it!
Cottage is neat and clean, secure covered parking. Janet friendly and helpful.
Well located, short walk from the town centre. Clean and tidy, with a well-equipped kitchen.
Having the enclosed garden was lovely because we travel with a dog.
Janet was an amazing host. She was very friendly and very helpful! She even allowed us to leave our car there after checkout while we went on a hike so that our belongings would be safe. Would return any day!
Wonderful house, large garden, dogs welcome.
We stayed in the Stuirio Cottage for one night, with our dog, and it was perfect. Als was nice clean and tidy, also enjoyed being able to barbecue in the evening. Other than that, Janet, the owner, was very friendly and accommodating.
It's a very cute place, comfortable beds, everything we needed was there. Only the electric plates are very slow and take a very long time to heat up. That's all that was wrong.
Montagu is a beautiful place.
We had to book an apartment for 3 persons as 2 only gives you a double bed. So we arrived and the horrible bunk bed in the lounge /kitchen had a disgusting cover on it with no bedding provided. As I pointed that out the owner was not impressed and made that bed with linen that was not ironed as she was ill. I did book weeks in advance! The unit is not serviced. Only one toilet roll supplied for 2 days. So, start catering for adults travelling together who do not wish to sleep in the same bed, and adults to not sleep in a children's bunk bed. We pay good money and I guess we contribute a good part of the annual profits for the tourism industry. Cater for our needs.
When we go back to Montagu we will definitely stay there again.
This place is a gem. The photo on the page is not representative of the wonderful accommodation and facilities. Truly the most value for money - in every respect of our trip.
We had a great time with our two dachshunds. Beautiful place that is well located. Thank you very much.
Well equipped cottage with nice double bed and bathroom. Cozy living area with small kitchen and plenty of seating.
Little Gem is exactly what its name says. We were warmly welcomed by the hostess. The place is cozy nestled between the mountains with old fashioned beauty. Room and bathroom were very neat and clean. There is a nice lawn for my 2 dogs. Delicious roast in the evening, we can definitely recommend Little Gem.
Friendly people where you feel at home.
The self-catering corner is very restricted, especially with regards to the microwave on the floor and the shelf of a TV cabinet.
A neat place with character where you can spend the night quietly near the business center of town.
Very nice and quiet, a perfect place for relaxation away from the city life, thank you.
It was wonderful to spend the night in a neat unit and to be received kindly. Nice warm sleep in the cold winter weather.
We had a lovely stay and it is a beautiful environment.
Montagu beautiful and interesting place to visit and what better place than to stay in little gem.
A very pleasant place to relax. Everything including the garden is neat and well maintained, and has all amenities. Also convenient for dogs. We had two retrievers (Golden Retrievers) together.
Very clean and neat. Would stay there again.
We were in the Studio for a weekend. It is a spacious room and excellent bed and we had a great stay. For self-catering it is a bit limited: the website shows a photo of a kitchenette, but the room only has crockery and cutlery, coffee facilities and a microwave oven (under the TV in a cupboard) as in the room's description . However, that didn't stop us from enjoying the weekend. Dishes should be washed outside (or in the bathroom sink).
Thank you Little Gem, we were kindly received and had a lovely stay there for the weekend, would like to stay there again in the future.
This place is a true gem. A home away from home. Simple, but the unit still contains everything you need. Service and willingness to help were also lovely.
I booked for three people and was under the impression that it would be two bedrooms. It was then one bedroom with one bed in the living room. My wife then expressed her disappointment about it and the owner then moved us to a bigger one still one bedroom with one extra bed in the living room, but much bigger and everyone was happy. If there are two of us, we will go there again.
Good, quiet, very tidy accommodation for a couple (maybe with 1 child, not ideal for 3 adults); a bit cramped, but the garden makes up for it.
See stars.
Had a great time, very neat. Would recommend it and go again.
The Little Gem is advertised as: Luxury units. However, these are basic units. Bath water ran out very slowly. Toilet needs servicing - it leaks inside toilet bowl (Valve apparently faulty).
Not the same as pictures on website, but except that, room was very cramped and mattress near its end, everything was very clean and tidy and everything worked. Overall we stayed very nice.
See stars.
We had a wonderful stay in Little Gem. The cottage is very well equipped. Our two dogs played wonderfully on the grass. This is definitely the best dog friendly accommodation we have ever had.
The room has everything you need with a good double bed and a nice big walk-in shower with plenty of seating. Will sleep there again!
Very clean and tidy accommodation! Centrally located and walking distance from most restaurants. Friendly service!
Outstanding! The Little Gem lives up to its name. The best animal friendly (properly fenced) accommodation we have ever booked. Thanks to the hostess. See again.
This is truly a very peaceful and beautiful place to sleep when you visit the Karoo or are travelling. Very friendly hostess and a peaceful environment.
We were here for such a short time and unfortunately on a public holiday which left us little to see and visit since everything was closed. Wonderful service and meal however at 22 Church St.
We had the most wonderful stay at The Little Gem. What a beautiful cottage, clean, neat and with everything you could possibly need for the weekend. I would and have recommended it to friends.
I enjoy the place and would recommend it to anyone anytime and visit again myself.
We had a great stay at Little Gem. We love Montagu and this affordable little place is neat and clean and perfect for a weekend away.
I would like to thank Janet for the special accommodation and for being friendly and helpful. She'll see us again.
Will stay here again. Friendly, prompt service. Beautiful room with everything you need. It's a gem of a place in Montagu.
Basic, but well equipped. Neat and there is a braai available. The sink outside can just be a bit cold at night.
Loved the cottage. Great value for money. Great place to stay for a short visit to Montagu.
Photos can be very misleading and one is never sure what to expect. The Little Gem surprised by looking exactly as the photos reflected. The house is beautifully "cozy" and super clean and tidy. Your private garden was also a bonus. Janet was so friendly and accommodating and we will definitely call on her again next year.
We expected more than one rather small room for three persons. It good for one night but then for 2 people and not for three.
Very quiet, extremely tidy, well equipped for a nice weekend getaway. Would recommend anytime and will definitely visit again. Good value for money.
Little Gem was a true gem. The place is very neat and spacious and we had a lovely stay. The owner was friendly and very helpful.
We were able to book in a little earlier which was great. Very neat clean and comfortable little cottage with garden area to sit outside .Highly recommended as a self catering overnight pit stop or longer stay. Centrally situated and within walking distance to town.
We occupied 2 units and were very pleased with both. Comfortable, beautiful, clean, and thank goodness for nice air conditioning! We will definitely stay there again.
I had a very nice stay, thank you. Proposal. A bottle of water on arrival. Place was neat and clean.
The Little Gem's name says it all, with an excellent view.
