A Glimpse into the Past

The Old Toll House, built in the 1840s, stands as a testament to the history of the Montagu Pass and the surrounding region. Originally constructed to accommodate the toll keeper and travelers, it has weathered the passage of time and remains a cherished piece of local heritage.

Friends of the Toll House

In recent years, the Old Toll House faced challenges, including a devastating fire that destroyed part of its structure. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of the Friends of the Toll House, a group committed to preserving this historical landmark, restoration work has begun to revive its former glory.

Their tireless efforts have kept the spirit of the Toll House alive for future generations to enjoy.

"What a fantastic find. Just off a 200m dirt road at the bottom of the Outeniqua Pass. The very best pancakes and coffee and an interesting "museum" within the Toll House. Great views and a perfect place to relax if hiking, mountain biking or driving the Montagu Pass."

"What a sensational place! A good overview of history and breathtaking scenery of the surrounding mountains, and of course, to round off your visit, a delicious pancake followed by coffee is a must!"
