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.
If only. . .
If only it was a getaway, instead of an overnight.
If only we had more time.
Plan better next time, and stay a few days to absorb and experience the true splendor of Hogsback. (Note to myself)
It does not matter the season, nor the weather (it was a chill, rainy day when we stayed here), Away with the Faeries is pure soul food. Take time for the road less traveled over and down the other side of the mountain. You will find the angels blessing you with even more beauty.
Away with fairies gave us an amazing experience with the cliff bath, we didn't expect it to have hot water but to our surprise it had.
We were welcomed by a very friendly lady, she is the highlight of our trip.
Away with the fairies has everything you would wish for,the place was so peaceful.
It was beautiful as well, they also have 2 friendly Dogs who became our best friends.
Our friendly host even told us about other beautiful places in Hogsback that we didn't know.
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.
1. It is far from the maddening crowd, yet only 200m from the Main Rd
2. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and have quality hotel linen
3. The entire Cottage feels lived in, very homey, & with plenty kitchen utensils/crockery/cutlery
4. The serene garden & immaculate lawn at the front is so lovely…
5. Sally the dog & the others are visitor-friendly
6. Spring water flows from the taps…the simple joys of living in the mountains !
The most comfortable stay we've had in Hogsback. Ian is a wonderful host, who made us feel very welcome. He took the time to show us around the property, and share his knowledge of the plants and trees that surrounded us, as well as walks and trails we could follow. We were kept company by the friendliest dogs, and spent a few very contented, relaxed days at the cottage. Highly recommended.
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.
The Hogsback is one of the most beautiful places in South Africa. The indigenous forests, waterfalls, mist and fresh air are wonderful. The dinner we were served was 4 courses and all were delicious with extremely generous portions. Breakfast was excellent too - I especially enjoyed the fresh crumpets. This is a great place to visit and enjoy old fashioned hospitality!
Kings Lodge Hotel and Hogsback will always hold a special place to me. I have celebrated milestones under their care. It was a treat returning for some peace of mind. From their hospitality, to their rooms and their warmth, my stay was an absolute joy. My friend joined me this time and could completely understand why I love staying here.
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 people were fantastic and they went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and fun. The dinner we had for the 60th birthday was BRILLIANT,
There is so much character in the hotel. The pool was lovely and warm.
It is probably the best value for money ever
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.
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!
