Standard Luxury
Suite A
Wide beds and a private deck, with forest pressing right up against the glass.
The Crags · Garden Route, South Africa
A private nature reserve above the Tsitsikamma forest, where mountain views meet fire-lit Boma evenings beneath the canopy.
Since 1993, Hog Hollow Country Lodge has kept a quiet address on the edge of indigenous forest at The Crags, eighteen kilometres from Plettenberg Bay. Our private nature reserve looks out over the Matjies River Gorge to the Tsitsikamma Mountains beyond, forest as far as the eye can travel, and a handful of suites tucked into its folds.
We built our reputation the way the forest grows, slowly and without excess. There is no glass tower here, no manicured spectacle. Just fireplaces lit at dusk, private decks angled for the view, and a warmth that has less to do with luxury than with attention.

Everything at Hog Hollow points outward, toward forest, gorge and mountain, then folds back into small, deliberate comforts.
Each suite looks out onto forest or gorge, with its own fireplace, private deck and the particular quiet that comes from being the only guest in view.
Traditional Boma dining sits at the centre of a stay at Hog Hollow. Coffee gathers here at sunrise, and sundowners around the fire pit after dark.
Coffee poured before the mist lifts off the gorge, and the day's plans made around the fire.
Communal tables under the stars, and the low talk of a fire built for staying awhile.
An outdoor pool deck set into the treeline, built for the kind of afternoon that has nowhere else to be.
