VISIT US IN HOGSBACK

PARADISE ON EARTH

Nestled in the heart of the Eastern Cape's Amathole Mountains, Hogsback is a magical retreat that captivates visitors with its breathtaking scenery, tranquil atmosphere, and enchanting charm. Surrounded by misty forests, cascading waterfalls, and awe-inspiring mountain views, Hogsback is a haven for nature lovers, adventurers, and those seeking solace in the beauty of unspoiled landscapes. Whether you're looking for adventure, relaxation, or a touch of magic, Hogsback has something for everyone.

From the gentle Japanese art of Shinrin-yoku (forest bathing) to more strenous hikes and activities such as mountain biking, horse riding, abseiling and archery, Hogsback caters for the adventure lover. More relaxing endeavours include fly-fishing, birdwatching, walking the gardens and labyrinth, and browsing the numerous galleries and craft shops. Discover the mystical side of Hogsback, with J.R.R. Tolkien’s son having based some of the maps in "The Lord of the Rings" on Hogsback.

Hogsback experiences all four seasons (sometimes in one day), and our seasonal events, music and festivals should not be missed. If Thrive does not have suitable accommodation, you can choose from plenty of other charming cottages, eco-friendly lodges or luxurious guesthouses. Hogsback prides itself on sustainability and visitors can even participate in eco-initiatives such as tree planting in our world-famous Arboretum.
