Eastern Cape, Hogsback Accommodation

Drive 140km North from Grahamstown, Eastern Cape and you come to the quaint little village of Hogsback, named after three mountain peaks which look like the wild hogs which run through the Hogsback forests. It is in these centuries old indigenous Eastern Cape forests that one can hear the call of the Knysna Lourie / Loerie, see a troop of Samango monkeys, or catch a glimpse of the endangered Cape Parrots that nest in the tall Yellowwood trees.

Hogsback's pure mountain air, waterfalls and natural beauty attracts nature lovers who love to hike, mountain bike, bird watch, mountain climb and trout fish in this Eastern Cape paradise, as well as couples who chose the enchanted Hogsback forests as the place to get together in marriage, then honeymoon in romantic Hogsback Wedding Accommodation.
Hogsback has become an 'artists colony', with painters, potters, musicians and poets flocking to make their home in this area of the Eastern Cape. Evidence of their talents can be seen at Hogsback Starways Pottery & Gallery, Mafika Pottery, and at the Voice of the Earth Eco Shrine, a unique outdoor garden decorated with mosaics, sculptures and oil paintings, offering breathtaking views of the Hogsback Eastern Cape Amatola Mountains.
