Hog Hollow Country Lodge
Hog Hollow is an excellent example of high quality accommodation being managed by the local black community. The South African owners have fully trained cooks, waiters, cleaners and a management team from the Plettenberg Bay region, hence the money spent here by tourists immediately benefits the local community. Hog Hollow Country Lodge is set on the edge of indigenous forest, with breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys and Tsitsikamma Mountains on the scenic Garden Route.

The 12 individual bungalows, decorated in earthy colours with traditional African arts and woven fabrics, are situated in the gardens surrounding the main house. All bungalows have cosy fireplaces with a lounge area, perfect for those chilly winter nights, and beautiful en-suite bathrooms. Each bungalow has a private wooden deck with spectacular views over the nearby forests and mountains. Velvet monkeys, an integral part of Hog Hollow, can be found playing in the trees and on the roof of your bungalow.

Farmhouse breakfasts are served on the wooden deck overlooking the forest on crisp clear days or indoors near the huge fireplace when it is cooler. In the evenings, guests can enjoy scrumptious 4-course dinners around the convivial table in the comfort of the candle-lit main farmhouse.

Price: 2 nights in Hog Hollow Country House (standard bungalow) starts from £150 per person.
Price includes breakfast and is based on 2 people sharing. Four course dinner is £20 per person.
