The road is just terrible - and it puts you off having to leave your accommodation as you know you have to venture onto that road through town.
The Pub owners need a little education on how to create a cosy atmosphere as there was none. But restaurants are great.

Its an awesome little town with scenic views.
Its an awesome little town with scenic views. It has everthing you need but if you do happen to leave your entire bag at home, like me, Alice is just a 25km drive away. Everyone is friendly and helpfull and the nature walks are a must but maybe take a flask if cofee and or some water with in a backpack for the road. Overall it was a great experience and we will definitely be going back for the garden show in the summer. I was amazed at the large variety if azalias growing evrywhere. The pizza at the restaurant was amazing. The Savemor surprised us with a wide variety of cheeses and other food options.

A small friendly village. The Beer Brewery isa must visit.
A small friendly village. The Beer Brewery isa must visit. A walk in the Arboretum to the 39 Steps waterfall, the labaryth at the Edge and a visit to ST Paul's on the Hill are all all must do activities. Do yourself a favour and taste the locally brewed beer and enjoy the tasting in their garden or tasting room - th biltong bowl is also highley recomended.

The forest in the mountain is breathtaking beautiful.
The forest in the mountain is breathtaking beautiful. The road between Cathcart and Hogsback is only for serious 4x4 cars, no warning about the terrible condition. The chocolatier in the main road needs a recommendation as well as the warm pastries.
I loved our trip to Hogsback, and having an amazing place to stay was what made it all that. From the very moment you step on the grounds, you are greeted by the owner. Morne was warm, welcoming, and very helpful. He was friendly and quick to jump when needed. The cabin was very spacious and comfortable with everything you need and more. For those who love furry friends, there were two cute and welcoming dogs on the property as well. All in all, it was a great stay and I would recommend it.
We travel extensively throughout South Africa, regularly staying in self-catering establishments. This was a stand-out stay, with probably the most amenities. The fact that even fire wood, kindling and pine cones were provided was just one of the aspects that made our stay one of the most comfortable and memorable. Thank you, Elizabeth and thank you Sandile. Best wishes, we wish you every success. We would return to your "home" at the drop of the hat, if only we lived closer to Hogsback.
The location of accommodation is the best, with beautiful views over the edge and the Parkrun is taking place walking distance from your cottage.
Thank you so much for beautiful, quiet, clean and safe accommodation. The sunrise, sunsets and stars at this site is precious. Will definitely recommend this stay to anyone looking for accommodation in Hogsback. The outdoor shower and bath is amazing , we could enjoy champagne for our anniversary in the outdoor bath with sunset .
Location brilliant, loved the homely feel of our suite (Frodo) and that we could self cater, the fireplace in the bedroom was absolutely amazing as it was chilly in the evenings and it lent such a lovely atmosphere. Right at the edge of the forest so easy to get to. The cliff bath was so special, monkeys running around outside and the resident dogs....OOOOHHHH and the amazing Kahuna massage we had with Amanda in the area overlooking the forest.
All staff were great!
Location is (I'm 99% sure) the best in Hogsback. The view is breathtaking and the cottage is perfectly situated to see all the landmarks of Hogsback. The cottage is unpretentious, but comfortable. It is well equipped and had whatever we needed. The manager Annari is amazing, she is welcoming and made us feel right at home like old friends. She was very helpful with everything happening in town with recommendations on where to eat, where to go and not to go etc.
From the best communication with Tamara since I booked. The welcoming from the receptionist and the staff.
Clean rooms. The place is beautiful. The tranquility,not forgetting the uninvited visitors(monkeys)
Ooh the food 😋 woow. Everything is fresh and tasty 😋. The waterfalls are across the road from the hotel.
Overall u must be fit for the steps and hills.
We had a great time loving every minute even the 🌧 🌦.
I really loved how clean and historic the hotel was. It made me think that we were living in a different era. The hotel has a history and you can feel it. The staff treated us well and gave us some good tips on which restaurants to visit and where the starting points were for some nearby hikes. The town has a general loving atmosphere and everyone is welcoming and happy.
Paolo was extremely hospitable! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Having stayed at various places throughout hogsback over the last 22 years - TIMELESS is truly the first place that feels like a home away from home. The small details such as the decor, amenities and overall cleanliness all add to the ambiance. The perfect family getaway!
Friendliness and helpful lady on arrival. She helped start a fire for us. Love the driveway approach and seclusion of the space. Short trip to anywhere in Hogsback from here. Loved all the spots we finally found to visit...and waking to the sound of the friendly pigs and monkeys each morning was a special treat to watch!
The house is very spacious and is set in a beautiful location. The owner is very warm, welcoming and shared a lot of information with us about Hogsback. The essential oils shop on the premises is a must visit. We were especially happy about the house being dog friendly so we could take our dog with.
The place was amazing and the area of Hogs back beautiful. Staying at Maple Grove really enhanced the Hogsback experience. Will definitely make it a point to go Back. The Hosts, Lindsay and Peter was friendly and easy to deal with and of great assistance in exploring the area.
The gem of Hogsback. Everything about this property is perfect. The host has thought about everything you could possibly need. From a first aid kit to games that can be enjoyed by everyone. The Location is great and the gardens are absolutely stunning.
We were very happy to stay here last minute as everything else was full because of a marathon. Breakfast payable in the hotel was good, the staff very friendly and helpful, and the electrical blanket and comfortable bed made for a good night's sleep.
Wonderful cottage with a lovely host. Off the grid, so no load shedding worries. The fireplace was absolutely amazing for heating up the cottage. Beautiful garden. Great location. Great stay here in Hogsback!
The location is perfect whilst being surrounded by surreal trees and friendly staff who are extremely helpful. Rustic yet cozy feels in the self catering cottages accompanied by warming fireplaces.
The view was incredible, amazing,ing facilities, fireplace, very cozy, neat, central, my second time booking that cottage, won't go anywhere else in Hogsback
The person at the reception desk was friendly and informative and booking in was easy. The location was perfectly situated overlooking the Hogsback forest.
