Wonderful stay in a romantic forest cottage! Beautiful romantic wooden cottage in the forest! Everything we needed! Clean and tidy with very nice and helpful host and wife!

Heerlik gebly in romantiese boshuisie! Pragtige romantiese houthuisie in die bos! Alles wat ons nodig het! Skoon en netjies met baie gawe en hulpvaardige gasheer en vrou!

Everything we never knew we needed! Two adults travelling with two 10-year-olds, one 13-year-old and one 18-year-old. Each and every one loved it. The kids did not want to leave. We extended our stay to an additional day. The hosts are friendly, kind and go above and beyond. The accommodation has everything you need and more! It's scenic, serene, peaceful and restorative. We look forward to staying here in future and we all were truly sad to leave.

Lovely, peaceful. Wonderfully peaceful. The weather wasn't the best, so we slept and rested a lot. There was no power in town, the hostess offered us coffee in the morning and constantly WhatsApped us to keep us informed of Eskom's progress.

Heerlik, rustig. Heerlik rustig. Die weer was nie die beste nie, so het baie geslaap en gerus. Daar was nie krag in die dorp nie, die gasvrou het vir ons koffie aangebied in die oggend en heeltyd gewhatsapp om ons op hoogte te hou van die vordering van Eskom.

Very pleasant and beautiful. The hosts are amazing. Lizzie and the team went out of their way to help us with our huge camping trailer to navigate and park down the steep driveway. She also provided very helpful tips on the best roads to take to get there, what to look out for on the road, as well as what to do, see and get around in Hogsback.

Heavenly! The accommodation was comfortable and well equipped with a beautiful view. The owner was readily available, always friendly and helpful.

Hemels! Die akkommodasie was gerieflik en goed toegerus met 'n pragtige uitsig. Die eienaar was geredelik beskikbaar, altyd vriendelik en behulpsaam.

We're already planning our next Hogsback break. Truly majestic. We had the best time in Hogsback. The views from our cottage were exquisite. Photos simply don't do this beautiful landscape any justice. Listening to the monkeys playing and all the birdlife singing in the trees will live long in the memory.

Fantastic. We are birdwatchers. It is ideal for that, because you look out over the tops of the trees. The deck also offers wonderful opportunities for socializing.

Fantasties. Ons is voëlkykers. Dit is ideaal daarvoor, want mens kyk uit oor die toppe van die bome. Die dek bied ook heerlike kuiergeleenthede.

Wonderful stay at Serendipity in Hogsback. Quiet. Secluded. Safe. Beautiful! We had a wonderful stay. We enjoyed the large veranda with the beautiful view. There are not many cottages in Hogsback where you can look down on the forest from above. It is very special. It was cold at night and the fireplace was lit and enjoyed every evening. Lizzie and Andries were particularly hospitable and friendly. The cottage was well equipped, very clean and tidy, with equally friendly staff.

Heerlike kuier by Serendipity in Hogsback. Stil. Afgesonderd. Veilig. Pragtig! Ons het heerlik gebly. Ons het die groot stoep met die pragtige uitsig geniet. Daar is nie baie kothuise in Hogsback waar jy van bo af op die woud kan afkyk nie. Dit is baie besonders. Dit was saans koud en die kaggel is elke aand aangesteek en geniet. Lizzie en Andries was besonder gasvry en vriendelik. Die kothuis was goed toegerus, baie skoon en netjies, met ewe vriendelike personeel.
