What a lovely venue,and loved the house,the front door sticks a lot ,however it is clear that the maintainance that is starting is much needed(grass around house,eg)
We had a dinner,the side dishes and salads were nice,but wow wow wow the beefstew was not edible,besides the "roast"potato was n 1cm piece in the sause,the meat was only chunks of fat and bone,and the total of meat was 1 tablespoon.The chef needs to know that although the taste was ok,a very expensive meal if without a reasanable amount of meat,something was really wrong with her choice of meat cut. Besides that all was pleasant

The stay is lovely, the rooms are cozy, with the possibility to light your own fire to warm up in the evening! I did not expect the place to offer various food options as well, and it was delicious. The staff is lovely, very helpful and patient. There are several options to keep you busy around, between hiking and others and the cliff bath is a must-do!

The remoteness of the Cabin is amazing. The view is spectacular. The fireplace is heavenly. And the Garden is refreshing. The Cabin blew our breath away.

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.
Excellent location right on the riverfront, close to all amenities. Beautiful gardens and well kept swimming pool. Loved our recently renovated large room, a suite with an open veranda facing the river. Comfortable beds, electric blankets. Enjoyed the warm fire seated on the comfortable sofa. Stunning scenery and bird life right on our doorstep. Friendly, super efficient, attentive staff. Delicious breakfast. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the inn and our time in Hogsback. Waterfalls within easy walking distance of the Inn.
Merese is an excellent host who made sure we had everything we needed and that we were comfortable . Truly a gem in Hogsback with breathtaking views, very peaceful, tranquil and serene. The cottage is absolutely beautiful and equipped with everything and more you need to make your stay comfortable. The bed is so comfortable which ensures a good quality nights rest. Loved our stay... and bonus was we took our daschund Bella, who thoroughly enjoyed exploring the garden and long walks. Pure paradise.........
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.
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.
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.
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.
Everything about it. Cozy, Beautiful. Neat. Refreshing. Tranquility. Clean in and out. Modern furniture. In all my visits at Hogsback in different accomodation, it was my 1st time to see a beautiful place like this one. I was asking myself where has it been all this time. It has everything you need.
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 hotel itself was great, it was neat.
The receptionist Siya and Me B they were both very professional and they went an extra mile to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable, You guys rock keep up the good work and the place will always be filled.
Hogsback is a hidden gem and Maple Grove is a gem among gems. The room had everything we needed. The property was beautiful with a lush garden with a surrounding forest. The Maple meander was beautiful too. I definitely want to visit again soon.
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!
I liked that though it's at the centre of Hogsback,the place is very private,peaceful and beautiful as well.
The environment is just soothing a great place to go to if you want to reboot and regroup.
The person at the reception desk was friendly and informative and booking in was easy. The location was perfectly situated overlooking the Hogsback forest.
