The guest units each have a large bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. All the bathrooms have showers and are decorated with paintings and kelims.

Opening the French doors of the garden cottages reveal a beautiful garden with sweeping views of the mountains and the little village below, and the B&B’s inviting pool. While splashing about in the pool you can see the Arabian and Thoroughbred horses and fouls in the paddocks, or watch the Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs lazing in the sun eyeing the Guinea fowl darting across the lawn to shelter. Close your eyes and experience the silence of this charming setting. The mountainous area offers great hiking routes, such as the Aasvoëlkrans Hiking Route which starts at the Bed & Breakfast. Other trails in the area include the Cogmans Kloof trail and the Bloupunt trail. Montagu has also been described as a rock climbers paradise, and the infamous face 'Legoland' is situated a couple of minutes from the B&B. The best climbing conditions are found between May and September. Aasvoëlkrans is a stud farm, so it offers facilities of the outdoors kind. In summer, cool off in the private swimming pool.
