Riaan Du Plooy
Nestled at the foot of Red Mountain, Mont Rouge Guest House is definitely a place to take in the clean fresh air. The guest house is a green utopia with its offering of a lush green, immaculate garden surrounded by an abundance of large and small trees providing guests with good oxygen to breathe in. The trees surrounding Mont Rouge also makes the guest house look hidden creating a sense of privacy, and not forgetting tranquility as the trees offer for plenty of shade from the summer heat. Especially while enjoying the guest house features of a braai (barbeque) facility, bird watching or exploring the walking trail nearby or a boma bonfire in the garden for those chilly nights. There are spacious accommodations that include self-catering rooms, chalets and bungalows, which all come with a patio and lovely views of the Red Mountains. And the chalets and bungalows include a kitchen or kitchenette and a lounge area with fireplace. Mont Rouge guesthouse has now been upgraded. The Chalet features 2 bedrooms with a shared bathroom with a shower and a bath. The kitchen is now fully equipped.
And although the trees offer Mont Rouge Guest House its secluded demeanor one thing the guest house is not hidden from are the places of interest in the area. If you want to shift from your space of tranquility to a bit of activity the guest house is just a 5-minute walk from the Clarens town centre, several art galleries and the popular nature reserve Golden Gate Highlands National Park, which is a mere 20km away.
