Rules vary across Montagu. I don't have reliable, current information about short-term rental regulations or enforcement practices for Montagu, Robertson, and Ashton. These appear to be smaller municipalities (possibly in South Africa's Western Cape), and I lack verified data on their specific STR rules, permit requirements, or actual enforcement levels. To provide accurate information, I'd need to research current municipal bylaws and on-the-ground enforcement reality for each location. I cannot responsibly classify them without this data. Verify requirements for the property's jurisdiction.
