This was a unique Hotel in a unique location. The staff could not have been more helpful, friendly and professional. Access was restricted as most of the paths between chalets, pool and main building were severely up and down! We loved it

Rooms were beautiful and the location of the lodge is stunning. It’s not flat and there are stairs and inclines to climb so if mobility is an issue, you may want to reconsider. Food and staff were fantastic.

Hog Hollow was a lovely place to stay, the staff were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. We were provided with maps and information regarding places to visit. The lodges were extremely comfortable, nice touches such as early evening duvet turning down and a hot water bottle in your bed. Not to mention the nightly chocolate left on…

Hog Hollow exceeded every expectation. We were lucky enough to have Andy take us out on the hotels new boat up the Keurbooms River, an experience that alone made the trip unforgettable, the scenery is spectacular and having someone who knows the river that well made it even better. Back at the lodge there was a wonderful evening put on for us, re…

A fabulous three nights spent at an incredible lodge. Amazing accomodation, fabulous dining and super friendly and obliging staff. The location is great but being some distance from town a vehicle is preferable. However in saying that, the taxi service was very good. The lodge is highly recommended. Bob and Robyn

This was my second time staying at Hog Hollow, and it was just as special as I remembered. Such a beautiful, peaceful place to completely switch off and relax. The rooms have recently been renovated and feel so much lighter and brighter, while still keeping all the charm of Hog Hollow. The view from the bedroom is incredible, you genuinely feel l…

A wonderful location – hidden in the forest. The staff were knowledgable and articulate – helping with advice on trips and local activities. The food was delicious and we felt like we were staying with family – it was so friendly and relaxed. Thank you for a wonderful time.

I was there long ago and I still remember that place as one of the most memorable places I have been. The room with the chimney, the views from the room itself and from the swimming pool, the diners…everything.

We had a wonderful stay here with our children. The setting is beautiful and the rooms spacious and clean. The best aspect of the stay however was the wonderful team at Hog Hollow. They were all so friendly and really made us feel at home. Thank you so much.

Dear Hog Hollow! What a unique and special forest immersion at beautiful Hog Hollow. You couldn’t ask for a more peaceful Outeniqua experience. Loeries and Orioles delighted us. Delish and generous meals eaten on the deck with breathtaking views! Comfortable, modern and well appointed rooms with great attention to detail in every way! Even our mud…

A beautiful setting overlooking the mountains. Lovely room, amazing friendly staff. Nice pool to cool off. Love the cookies. The food is really good with a clear pride in what they do. Only wish we had more than 2 nights here. Great to unwind. After travelling around the cape.

Wir waren 6 Wochen auf der Garden Route unterwegs und diese Unterkunft war ein echtes Highlight. Nach der Hitze und Trockenheit der kleinen Karoo war dies wortwörtlich der Garten Eden. Die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt und traumhaft in die Landschaft integriert. Es ist als würde man im Birds of Eden mit den Affen aus Monkey Island wohnen. Das Frühstück…

Thank you to the team for a most magnificent breakfast. The chocolate cake was a nice touch for Kay.

We arrived tired already. We had a long drive and once off the highway, the road was quite long as well while feeling going nowhere. When we arrived, we got offered a welcome drink. We just sat there in silence, enjoying the view. It was breathtaking. For a long time, we didn’t speak. It felt like coming home. This was our best stay in South Afri…

We absolutely loved our stay at Hog Hollow! The serene atmosphere made it feel like we were immersed in the jungle, surrounded by the soothing sounds of monkeys and birds chirping—it was incredibly relaxing. The food was outstanding, and we highly recommend trying the seafood and the lamb curry—both were absolutely delicious! To top it all off…

What a beautiful location to stay, the room is very spacious and clean, the staff are very lovely and warm & welcoming.

Her room is very cosy and comfortable, I can’t explain how great she is at massage and such a lovely person to talk to…

Ein wunderschöner Ort mit hervorragenden Service. Leider war unser Zimmer schon etwas abgewohnt und muffig.

We had a wonderfully beautiful stay at Hog Hollow Country Lodge for (unfortunately only) two nights. The suites are tastefully and comfortably furnished, making you feel at home immediately. The view of the forest is breathtaking, which can also be enjoyed from the wonderful pool. The breakfast is abundant, fresh, and of excellent quality. The din…

Wow, what a special place this is. Only stayed 2 nights but we wished it was longer. Beautiful lodge overlooking the most wonderful view, great food and amazing friendly staff. Had a lovely massage off Josephine. It was very special sitting on the Boma at night next to the fire and then returning to our lodge to find hot water bottles in the be…

    RELAXING AT THE LODGE

    the boma deck

    Overlooking the Matjies River Gorge & the Tsitsikamma Mountains, this congenial hub is where it all happens. The boma deck is the place to check-in, sip some bubbly, or a good cup of tea, relax after a day’s outing, chat to newly found friends and catch up with family news – comfy chairs, a crackling fire and a sundowner in hand – what better way to end the day!

    There are various places you can escape to: the far lounge with a pair of binoculars, or just your thoughts, or if there is an important sporting event there is a TV; or under the leafy ficus tree, a haven for birds – and for those who need a secret puff (we won’t tell);- or down at the pool; or out on the deck … there is a lot of delicious air to be breathed.
