Why this blog?
The simple answer...
Because I have things to say and my voice sounds better when it is written down.

Grey Rabbit Cottage
'Sometimes the most important thing in the whole day is the rest we take between deep breaths.' [Etty Hillesum]
'In this sequestered nook, how sweet to sit upon my orchard seat and birds and flowers once more to greet.' [William Wordsworth]
'It was our favourite part of the day - this in-between time - and it always seemed to last longer than is should; a magic and lavender space unpinned form the hours around it, between worlds.' [Paula McLain]

The Location
Grey Rabbit House is a Cape Victorian-style home situated in the pretty Klein Karoo town of Montagu on Route 62.
Whether it's the mountain views, the beautifully preserved surrounding architecture, the formal garden with Spekboom hedges, or simply the charm of 'platteland' hospitality, we hope you will feel spoilt in our bijou cottage.
The Cotttage
Every weary traveller needs a space to 'just breathe.' Grey Rabbit is a pretty standalone self-catering Cape Victorian-style cottage that celebrates the little extras for those who cross its threshold. You are spoilt with beautiful mountain views and a quiet neighbourhood within easy walking distance to the main attractions of Montagu, as well as local local hiking trails on your doorstep.
The Town & Surrounds
Montagu is, in our opinion, one of the prettiest and most charming little towns on Route 62's iconic and meandering wine route. Be prepared to fall in love.
It's all about friendly locals, bustling coffee shops and eateries, vineyards, olive groves and fruit orchards, an outdoor weekly village market and hiking and mountain biking trails (+ the odd ibis on the corner). But most of all, it's all about slow living.
