A few more basics needed in the house (like a bedside table and a mirror!)

Peaceful and a beautiful property

Stayed in February 2024

The tv wasn’t working, although this wasn’t a big deal. They only tell you after you’ve booked that you need to keep your own fire going for the hot water to work. And they don’t tell you about Lisa, their dog. She is adorable and we love dogs but I can see this being an issue for a person who doesn’t like dogs/ afraid of them.

We had a beautiful, relaxing stay here 😀 would stay here again! Plenty of blankets for when it is cold.

Nothing. It was a great night away.

Such a beautiful remote spot deep in the forest.

What I didn’t like about the property was the Wi-Fi not working but due to valid reasons

What I loved about the property was the nature scenery that it offered

Stayed in November 2023

we loved everything!

The cabin was amazing, warm and cousy, the bed was very comfortable, the water was nice and Hot water in the Shower. The Host was very welcoming and humble. He thought us a lot about the mountains and gave us all the tips to make our weekend extra special. Thanks Morne we enjoyed our stay🙏🏿 We adored our friendly bodyguard Lisa❤️ The location was just perfect far up in the mountains in the woods, away from the noise, Very therapeutic and peaceful!

Secluded, but so homey. Felt instantly relaxed in the wooden cabin.

What an awesome place. Serene and calm in the Hogsback mountains. The host was super nice and offered for us to stay another night free of charge. Unfortunately we could not take him on his offer as we already had prior arrangements. Will definitely visit again.

Tranquility at its best. Location perfection. House rules ? none… everything was explained on our arrival setting us at ease and enjoying our check in with the owner. A short walk through the trees takes you to a stream where you can sit back relax and catch your breath before making your way back. The owners and staff always around to help when needed and really just a call away. I would definitely be visiting during summer time. Thank You

We were 4 adults, the sleeper couches were a little uncomfortable. Perhaps swopping one sleeper couch out for a double bunk could work.

Amazing Rustic Experience, no wifi connectivity so it was absolute bliss, no electronics. Wonderful to wake up in nature and hear the animals in the early morning.

The road is challenging with potholes in the sand road but not anything owners can do anything about. We still managed to get there safely with a normal car.

The owner went out of his way to provide additional bedding for the extremely cold weather. He communicated with us constantly and provided recommendations for local attractions and dining. A memorable experience in a cozy log cabin in the forest. Thank you very much.🤗

Great service

The perfect place to stay in hogback if you like the forest and nature. We had the bigger cabin and it was so comfy and had everything we needed and more. No need to worry about loadsheddibg because the cabin has a solar system setup. The beds have electric blankets if it gets realy cold. You can take a walk down to the river and explore the woods that are just to stunning to describe, you can even pack a picnic basket, its well worth it. We cooked most of our meals in the fire pit but there is an electric stove, microwave and it has a fridge and freezer as well as a electric kettle and perculator(manual) that you can use. The water is heated by a "donkey" but it was very easy to operate and the water got warm within 5min for a shower. It really us well worth it, you wount regret it!

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.

-the photos on booking.com aren't helpful with trying to figure out which cabin one is actually booking. We ended up staying in the one we hoped for but I think we actually booked the cabin close to the street - Parotts could have more toys to occupy them inside their enclosure and more fresh vegetables and fruit in their diet

- it's a quiet and remote location which was really nice. (We got upgraded to the snowlflake cabin) - Host was very welcoming and prepared bunch of firewood which was really cool - Option to have a bon fire/ braai was really nice

Rustic, quiet setting in the middle of the forest. Had everything we needed and we could just relax and enjoy nature. The host was amazing and checked in. Amazing value for money. Just the break we needed!

Stayed in March 2023

Very big cabin and we'll equipped. There is the forest closed with the river. But the best was the owner Morné. He's passionate about his region has a lot of knowledge of the nature and shared them with us. It was a fantastique experience.

A modern cabin in the mountains was just amazing and the peace and quiet was just awesome. Mornè the houst made one feel at home and very friendly.

Stayed in February 2023

Small necessities were missing for example, a cutting board, a descent cutting knife, toilet brush. Also the toilet seat was broken on arrival, and the wifi didn't work for most of the time we were staying there.

Was quiet, and neat, the host was very responsive to communication. Weather was amazing, felt quite safe staying there.

My mom was happy with the bed in the room but the couches that fold out into beds were very hard to sleep on, it was not comfortable at all. I didn't have much sleep neither my partner as we gave the room to our mom. The donkey had to be kept fired up but as we left early the next morning we had cold water as it was too cold to put fire in the donkey for hot water.

The location was lovely, if your looking for an experience in the woods with tall trees, chickens, birds, pigs this is the place for you. The owner was very accommodating. The hikes there are beautiful and your animal babies are so very welcomed in the place, The fire pit was my favorite for sure.

Stayed in June 2023

The cabin had a very musty smell, the curtains where dusty, and the bed had a huge depression, making the night very uncomfortable.

Morné was extremely friendly and helpful. From the start of the booking, he advised us about how to get there, updated us on load shedding , weather , activities and responded to text aptly.make sure you don’t park your car in front of the cabin, as the car will get stuck from all the mud, however he did warn us earlier and gave us the right contacts to tackle the situation.

I was more than satisfied with our stay, and was not disappointed by any aspect with regard to the cost of our stay.

The stay was great for our purposes, and the privacy and response from the hosts was wonderful, while the facilities provided excellent value for money.

Stayed in April 2023

All we needed was a small braai on the undercover balcony with seating as it rained.

It was quiet and private and the host was helpfull and friendly
