The house where lemons grow
Jonkmanshof is a luxury heritage retreat nestled in the historic town of Montagu, South Africa. Founded by Jacques Erasmus and Hein Liebenberg, it comprises two lovingly restored Cape Dutch homes at 20 and 30 Bath Street, offering a peaceful and welcoming escape in the heart of the Klein Karoo.
The interiors are an invitation to explore, blending antiques, contemporary design, and carefully selected artworks to create a unique atmosphere that reflects both tradition and refined living.
The estate features a thriving citrus orchard with a variety of trees, whose harvest is shared with guests and transformed into artisanal preserves or condiments at De Nagmaal, the nearby country store.
Jonkmanshof is a place where the stillness of Montagu offers solace to the soul. Every moment, from a quiet morning by the pool in summer to an evening next to the fire in winter, becomes an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and nature.
More than a place to stay, Jonkmanshof is a space to slow down, reconnect, and experience the quiet beauty of the region.
