Nice place, pool great.
Very nice place, needs a bit stronger light on bedside tables and maybe a small fridge in the room. Pool and breakfast were great.

Nice, but not great!
Reasons I wouldn't recommend: There are quite a few stairs to the rooms and we weren't aware of that. Important to indicate this on the website, especially if you have a lot of heavy luggage. Owner did help upon arrival. Although rooms are spacious, tidy, well-equipped and tasteful, there is no privacy as all rooms open onto corridors to pool, bar and rooftop. With only sliding doors, it was impractical to enjoy fresh air in the heat without giving up privacy.

The service and stay was pleasant.
The location and area is ideal for tourists. The only negative would be that the bathroom doesn't have a door and the howling wind due to the location can be quite disturbing, but it is part of nature and out of the owners' control. Very friendly hosts who welcomed us warmly.

Very disappointed.
Mountain View advertises as a lodge with lodge rates. It is, however, nothing but a backpackers with an en suite bathroom and a big bed. There is no basic amenities such as a bar fridge, bottled water or TV. The WiFi's signal was very weak - mostly no signal - for which they blame the fact that they are in Africa. The host and hostess were very friendly and welcoming and there is a lovely heated pool and deck with great views, but rooms and cast iron animals in the garden, doesn't make it a lodge. If they halve their rates, it might justify the value of the type of accommodation. I blame myself for the error of judgement, since I have not read their reviews and made my decision based on the name and the pictures I saw.

Mountain View Lodge Montagu 's response
We do not advertise TV's in the room, nor do we advertise a refrigerator or air-conditioning in the room. What we advertise and what the pictures show on the webpage is what we offer : A spacious room with en-suite bathroom, coffee- and tea-making facilities in the room, an onsite bar with local wines and Belgian beer, an onsite restaurant (open on reservation for guests only), a heated swimming pool, a roof terrace that overlooks the entire town, a peaceful, quiet and save environment.
It is impossible to please everyone, but it is possible to provide the correct information:
Backpackers: property that provides a bed, mostly in a dorm, with communal bathroom and toilet,
B&B: Property that provides guests rooms with breakfast,
Lodge: Same as a B&B but also provides more than just breakfast, i.e. dinners, bar, etc,
Hotel: same as lodge but with a 24 hour open reception.

Beautiful view, friendly owners, good location and Belgian beer.
Friendly and helpful host and hostess. Clean accommodation and roof terrace with fantastic 360° views over the entire Montagu Valley. Excellent and large selection of Belgian beers available, which was very refreshing during the heat wave. Additional ventilation through the rooms (outside the front sliding door on the landing) would have helped a lot during the terribly hot Montagu days and nights. It is walking distance from the town centre, but the walk back is uphill. The pool next to the roof terrace was very welcome during the heat wave. For privacy it would be good if the curtains at the sliding door could be "block-outs".

Fantastic view, quiet with a lovely swimming pool and chill area. Very pleasant hostess, Maud.
I will recommend Mountain View Lodge anytime. The view over the valley and the mountains from the swimming pool is unbeatable. There is a lookout deck for when you just want to relax. There is also a nice chill area and you don't have to sit in your room the whole time. Breakfast is delicious. Rooms are comfortable with everything you could possibly need. Don't just stay there for a single night. It is possible to relax for a good couple days at MV Lodge.

Peaceful place with a beautiful view of the town and the valley.
I would think for the price there should be a fridge and an air con in the room. The free WiFi did not work. The place has a very nice view of the town and the valley.

We expected more.
We had a nice stay, it wasn't a quick stop. I am writing the review after we have been to 2 other places. Photos can be deceiving. The room itself was simple. Oh I guess I just expected more. The owners are very nice. We then drove around and found a restaurant called van Kokkemans. It made our night!

Mountain View Lodge Montagu 's response
We are sorry to hear you that you did not enjoy your stay. We do however urge you to compare rates if you compare us to other accommodations. We offer our guests what they pay for - a good comfortable bed in a clean room, a clean bathroom with a big hot shower and a buffet and warm breakfast. Our pictures were taken with a cell phone, how can it be more honest?

We had a nice stay.
It was very funny to us that there was no bathroom door. My son came back from a walking tour and the next day we drove on to Hartenbos. He just slept in his sleeping bag with me on the king-size bed... at least mother and son didn't want to sleep completely together in the same bed.
