However, based on the fact that there are various Khoi (Bushman) drawings on rocks and in caves in the greater Montagu area, one can safely assume that the springs were most certainly known to these people for hundreds, possibly thousands of years before the aforementioned "discovery" and as such the real date of the origin of the spring is lost in the mists of time.

During "modern times" the spring and the land surrounding it has had a varied history and over the years , has changed hands many times with various owners putting it to different uses. Since 1982, these springs are now part of the Avalon Springs Spa Resort Hotel and whilst the process of getting here, as well as the levels of luxury enjoyed by visitors from far and wide, are much improved since 200 years ago, the springs are as natural and perfect as they have always been...

Flowing naturally from a fissure in the rock face, in a cavern some 5 meters underground, these waters have healing powers which have yet to be fully understood. The water comes to the surface at a constant 43°C. The rate of flow is unaffected, even by the worst droughts that the area has experienced, it is obviously coming from very deep down, with an estimated depth of the source at about 3kms.

The water is 100% clear & clean with a near perfect Ph when it reaches the surface and it contains a number of minerals, chemicals & other trace elements, it is obviously undergoing natural filtration and picks up properties of the various rock strata that it is being forced through.

This "natural perfection" allows Avalon Springs to pump the water directly into the various available pools and spa baths WITHOUT treating, or in ANY WAY changing it, and as such visitors are able to enjoy these waters in their most natural form. For hygiene reasons the water is of course chlorinated, but is NOT recycled and is continuously drained off into the river that flows past the property you are ALWAYS enjoying a natural wonder at its finest.

The Resort now boasts its own cold swimming pool and by popular demand, the Pool deck is now the area to be on those really hot summer days. Enjoy!

Avalon Springs Accommodation

All Jacuzzi's are both solar and heat pump heated from a central location. However, taking into consideration that they are situated outdoors, temperatures can fluctuate during the winter months and on colder days. Residents of the chalets have access to ALL resort facilities. Guests staying in the Mountain Chalets need to familiarise themselves with the various routes to and from their unit. A detailed site plan is attached, which will aid you in your ventures.

Cogmans Restaurant
Cogman's boasts a rich and warm décor, is fully airconditioned & heated and the venue is available for private functions, weddings, etc. The latest edition to the restaurant is a light, wonderfully cosy part of the restaurant that overlooks our beautiful gardens, with an authentic reed ceiling overhead adding to the rustic, outdoor ambiance.

Children are welcome in Cogman's and we also have a special "Kiddies Menu". Early meals or separate, supervised meals can be arranged.

Cogmans now boasts a revised breakfast set up, all new a La carte menu (summer one on the way) and has it's own cocktail bar. No need to "run" to the John Montagu Bar for that after dinner drink, cocktail or Irish Coffee.

The John Montagu Bar and Lounge
Named after Mr John Montagu (it is often erroneously thought he was "Sir") is the Hotel's main "watering hole" and is open primarily to resident guests. A vast array of drinks are on offer and our staff will gladly mix up an exotic cocktail or advise you on a choice of regional and other South African Table wines from our extensive Wine List.

A speciality of this wine list is that in each category of wines listed, we offer you one wine by the glass. This allows you to sample a small quantity before committing to the whole bottle or any particular type of wine.

Air-conditioned, "The JM", is the ideal meeting place for a pre-dinner drink or a winter's evening spent chatting, playing games or just watching sports on the big screen "telly" in front of a crackling log fire.

The Avacabana Pool Bar
Situated at the main hot spring pool, next to our Function Lapa (Boma) is "The Place To Be" on a hot summer's day. Covered by cool African thatch, you can sit back, enjoying a loooong, cold drink and still keep an eye on the kids in the pools, whilst taking in the stunning natural rock setting of the entire hot spring pool complex.

In the late afternoon, you will be delighted at the many different animals that appear on the rocks high above the pools and unless you are super human, you will simply "just have to let go" of all your worries and woes. Depending on the weather (which 99% of the time is brilliant), The Avacabana is open on most days throughout the year and on most evenings in summer.

Cafeteria and Room Service
The Café is open 24 hrs on a Friday and Saturday evenings and closes for trade at 23h00 on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings until further notice. Room Service is available to all resident guests and you may choose Full Meals or Light Snacks from our Room Service Menu.

As the light meals come from the kitchen attached to our Café, this section of the menu is also available to non-resident guests as take aways. Please exercise the necessary patience as all meals come from a central kitchen and need to be prepared and cooked. Thank you!
