A lovely setting, very peaceful with views of forests, but also a view down the wooded valley. Terrific scenery from the swimming pool and breakfast patio area. This hotel is spread out on the hill side so consequently there are some very steep paths and steps. We had a room at the bottom of the resort and I struggled with... More

One night wasn't enough to really see Hog Hollow at it's best and unfortunately it rained while we were there. Our room was well equipped, comfortable and spacious. The staff were friendly and the food good. As part of the regular service our hire car was washed in the morning even though it was raining! We weren't too keen on... More

Beautiful views from rooms and terrace across a wooded valley. Rooms are well appointed with private balconies, staff is efficient and very friendly. The restaurant is good, with a varied menu and decent wine selection, while the optional communal dining adds to a great atmosphere.The vervet monkeys around the terrace provide additional entertainment. Overall, a wonderful place to stay.

We only stayed here one night but had the usual warm welcome we had come to expect in S Africa. We were upgraded to the Villa, about 400m from the main house and it was amazing. An enormous house, previously the owners', fully equipped, with its own large pool, pool table, fantastic kitchen, everything one could think of. Dinner is... More

We need to start by saying that overall the standard we came across during our trip was excellent. In this context Hog Hollow has to have (joint!) top place with 'O on Kloof' in Cape Town, Hog Hollow perhaps just 'shading it' with its tree-top location: a truly lovely and relaxing spot, well away from it all. We were looked... More

This was one of my favourite places I stayed in South Africa. We got here after a long drive from Franschhoek. It is located in the middle of a forest high up on a mountain, but only a 10 minute drive from the motorway. The views were spectacular. The rooms are located in small cottages away from the main building... More

The five stars are for Plettenberg more so that Hog Hollow, its an amazing part of the world. Not to say we didn't enjoy HH, we did but in hindsight might have preferred being closer to the beach, which is fine really, just a preference. Staff are excellent, Jo was very helpful, food was very nice and the communal areas... More

Have to agree with a lot from other reviews staff are very good and the food was excellent, however in my opinion the accommodation is rather tired and is showing its age , you could describe it as rustic

Hog Hollow is a beautiful set up and this was our second visit,we asked for and were given the same room which is below the main building. It is completely private with a balcony at tree canopy level accessible by completely opening up the front of the room including the bathroom. We enjoyed the communal dining on two of our... More
