Very pleasant stay in the ecocabin, very well catered for. This was a beautiful spot to stay in, and the cabin had everything we needed. The log fire was superb and very cosy first thing and in the evenings. We all enjoyed the dogs and goats, and Helen was a mine of information which was very useful. Nice large spaces for the dogs to run in. Loads of logs. WiFi was good.

Recommended. You could stay in a hotel at Hogsback or choose the Wild Fox Eco Cabin, which gives you a far more authentic feel for what Hogsback is all about. Surrounded by its natural beauty and simplicity of rural life, but still having hot water and a warm, comfortable bed. I wish all strength with her vision she has by putting her piece of heaven on the map.

In short, we really enjoyed the visit and will most likely go again. We really enjoyed our stay, amidst nature and the mountains. The accommodation was well equipped, future visitors should just accept that it is not equipped with all the luxuries that one is used to! There is no TV, no microwave and no geyser. Water is heated in a donkey so that there is hot water available and its availability is not guaranteed. My wife and I only had to take cold refreshing showers which added to the unique experience of living off the grid. Helen, our hostess, was very friendly and her dogs and tame goat came to visit us. We were a little scared by Bobejaan's child, but not too seriously. The only problem the hostess could work on is putting up signposts on the way to their place. We got a little lost there, the mountain roads are quite a mission to navigate. If you decide to go there, remember that the mountain roads and the road in Hogsback are very bad, our poor Opel Astra struggled a bit.

In kort het ons die kuier baie geniet en sal heel moontlik weer gaan. Ons het die kuier baie geniet, tussen die natuur en tussen die berge. Die wooneenheid was goed toegerus, toekomstige besoekers moet maar net genoeg daarmee neem dat dit nie toegerus is met al die luukses waaraan mens gewoond is nie! Daar is nie TV nie, geen mikrogolf en geen geiser nie. Water word in 'n donkie warm gemaak sodat daar warm water beskikbaar is en die beskikbaarheid daarvan is ook nie gewaarborg nie. Ek en my vrou moes maar koue verfrissende stort neem wat bygedra het tot die unieke ervaring om van die netwerk af te leef. Helen, ons gasvrou, was baie vriendelik en haar honde en mak bok het ons kom besoek. Bobejaan se kind het ons so bietjie bang gehad, maar darem nie te ernstig nie. Al probleem waaraan die gasvrou kan werk, is om aanwysingsborde aan te bring op die pad na hulle plek toe. Ons het so bietjie verdwaal daarheen, die bergpaaie is nogal 'n missie om te navigeer. Indien julle besluit om daarheen te gaan, onthou dat die bergpaaie en die pad in Hogsback baie sleg is, ons arme Opel Astra het bietjie gesukkel.

Relaxing for mind and soul. Great location and Helen was always very kind and hospitable. Small mishaps with hot water and gas during our stay, but otherwise, we loved it all.

Enjoyable and pretty. Loved the eco aspects, just disappointed that the hot water systems were so difficult to manage and control water temperature. Too often a cold or low flow shower.

Comfortable, spacious place. Comfortable place with well-equipped kitchen. Hostess was very friendly and gave good advice about walking routes and attractions in Hogsback.

Gerieflike, ruim plekkie. Gerieflike plekkie met goed toegeruste kombuis. Gasvrou was baie vriendelik en het goeie raad gegee oor staproetes en besienswaardighede in Hogsback.

Sunny, spacious, well equipped, relaxing, beautiful. A lovely calming stay on a sunny hill in Hogsback. The cottage is well equipped with all the basic supplies, including firewood. The host was wonderful. She is very knowledgeable about things to do and see in the area and happy to give directions to the coolest local spots. The stoep is lovely for sunny cups of coffee with a beautiful view! Bonus points for chickens, dogs, and a very friendly cat coming to greet us .

Peaceful, warm, happy. What a beautiful little cabin. Helen was warm and helpful, and our dogs got on nicely with her three. The venison burger was genuinely one of the nicest burgers I've ever had. Thank you for a special weekend.
