Hog Hollow is a 4-star lodge set on the edge of an indigenous forest in a private nature reserve with panoramic green and nature views of the surrounding indigenous forests, valleys and mountains, in one of the most beautiful parts of Africa - the Garden Route.The Lodge has 16 suites all have private decks overlooking these vistas and offer guests relaxed luxury in an unforgettable setting. The Main House forms a communal dining area surrounded by a long blue swimming pool that visually flows into the valley below.Other attractions include a forest sauna and privately sited forest shower with incredible views over the valley. We assist in various projects - the Kids of Kurland where we pay the salary for a special needs teacher at the Kurland Primary school to assist with overcrowding; we’ve sponsored a local soccer team; we have sponsored equipment for a local band, who are now cutting their first CD! We also sponsored a young man to study nursing.

South Africa is such a beautiful country, never in a million years did we think we would find this luxurious and stunning eco-lodge. Hog Hollow Country Lodge is unrivalled in beauty, the people are always smiling, and the swimming pool has the most amazing view! Loved every minute of it!
