Location

Description

Hogsback is South Africa's enchanted holiday destination. Perched on the very edge of the dramatic Amatola Mountains and surrounded by indigenous forests and pine plantations, the little town of Hogsback is the birth of fairytales.

It is a charming, fascinating, and tranquil village that begs exploration. Enjoy first-rate birding, climbing, swimming, abseiling, mountain biking, 4x4 trails, and horse riding. Walk or ride through the forests where massive trees shade wild flowers, thickets of ferns, and fields of St. Joseph's lilies. Enjoy the simplicity of nature where streams and waterfalls tumble down the mountainside. Discover the ultimate mountain and forest country experience. Delight in an irresistible, romantic and peaceful destination. It's a mountain retreat with waterfalls, fairytale streams, mystical forests, and swirling mists. And Hogsback is malaria free.

Directions

Directions The mountain village of Hogsback is about an hour and a half?s drive from Grahamstown. The best route to our hotel from Port Elizabeth is to take the N2 to Grahamstown. Bypass Grahamstown, and travel about 5 kms. Pick up the (R67) to the left and go to Fort Beaufort. Please take care on the road between Grahamstown and Fort Beaufort. The Ecca Pass is a winding route, but the road is in good shape. Go through Fort Beaufort and head east to Alice. From Alice continue east towards King Williams Town. After Fort Hare University, you will see a road sign on the left that reads - Cathcart via Hogsback - the R345. This is the main road through the village and our hotel is situated on the left exactly 30 kms from the turn-off. It is well sign posted. The last 3 kms is a gravel road with lots of bumps. Slow down! Relax! and enjoy the scenery!
