Welcome to The Vic 1906 in Montagu, South Africa. It's not a hotel, but it's also not a guesthouse. The Vic is something unique, something special, something out of the ordinary... a blend of the luxury of a 5 star hotel and the authentic personal touch of a guesthouse that delivers professionalism with soul.
INTRODUCTION
This loving restored Victorian property built around 1906, in the heart of Victorian country, Montagu, South Africa (also renowned for it's hot springs and healthy way of life) is more than a hotel and more than a guest house.
In fact our effort has gone into creating something quite unique. With the mod cons of a five star hotel and the homely feel of a guest house, The Victorian or ‘The Vic’ as it is more affectionately known is a triumph of classical Victorian....with a 'twist'.
A WALK THROUGH THE VIC 1906
The distinguishable exterior leads you into a French style sidewalk cafe to a welcoming, superbly appointed reception area. You are immediately captivated by the old and the new harmoniously blended together. Respect for the order and strictness of the Victorian era is juxtaposed with the most modern playful and delectable color palette. Fabrics in rich hews of reds, pinks, greens, gold's, offset with the shtick of Italian tiled floors beneath heavenly chandlers makes for a most refreshing atmosphere, and as one visitor said...'just being here rejuvenates the soul'.
On the right a solid handcrafted 20 seater pub in an intimate setting takes you back a century, and only the list of international drinks confirms you are in the new millennium.
