“If you can spend a perfectly useless afternoon in a perfectly useless manner, you have learned how to live.”  Lin Yutang (1895 – 1976)

Situated 18km East of the coastal town of Plettenberg Bay, Hog Hollow Country Lodge, a private nature reserve, is set on the edge of indigenous forest with breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys and Tsitsikamma Mountains.

Sixteen individual suites are situated in lush gardens surrounding the main house.  Each room is decorated in a uniquely African-style, using earthy colours, bright fabrics, artifacts from around Africa & local handcrafted woods.  These comfortable, stylish suites offer private wooden decks, king sized beds, lounge area, en-suite bathrooms and most have cosy fireplaces for those chilly winter nights.
