Avalon Springs  

Tucked into the foothills of Cogman's Kloof in Montagu, about 200 km from Cape Town and close to the town centre. This thermal spa resort is family-friendly and famous for its natural hot springs and pools fed by a bubbling ‘miracle spring.’

Rooms range from self-catering options to hotel guestrooms, with some featuring balconies or terraces and separate living areas. Select rooms offer air conditioning, blackout curtains, mini-fridges and coffee/tea makers; daily housekeeping and room service help keep things easy. There are playrooms for kids and elevator access for guests with mobility needs. Pools and the bar were recently refurbished (work began May 2022) with just a few finishing touches remaining.

Soak in indoor and outdoor spring-fed pools (waters bubble up around 41.5°C in winter; pool temps range 29–36.5°C) or ride the aquapark supertube slide — day visitors are welcome. Enjoy a full spa, massage rooms and hot tub, plus a poolside bar, hotel bar, mini-golf, picnic and BBQ areas. On-property conveniences include laundry, ATM, convenience stores and designated smoking zones.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected. Front-desk services include luggage storage and safety deposit boxes, plus complimentary parking for guests.

A homemade breakfast is served each morning and an on-site café pours your essential coffee. The hotel restaurant showcases local cuisine, there’s a lively bar and poolside drinks, and guest BBQ facilities let you cook your own meals.
