Montagu Springs is an iconic hot springs resort in the Little Karoo wine town of Montagu, Western Cape, where bicarbonate-rich water emerges at 43°C and flows into a cluster of outdoor rock pools surrounded by dramatic red sandstone cliffs. First commercialised in the 1930s, the resort has grown into a beloved year-round destination for South Africans and international visitors seeking mountain scenery, valley tranquillity, and therapeutic mineral bathing. The town's Route 62 wine country, Victorian architecture, and adventure hiking trails beautifully complement the thermal bathing experience.
Insider tip — Stay well hydrated before and after your 35°C bicarbonate-water soak in South Africa.
