66 guests' feedbackHad a nice stay, initially struggled a bit with the gas geyser.
Enchanting, lovely surrounds, beautiful gardens, staff very helpful, unfortunate issue with chalet cleanliness.
The chalet's view of the valley was breathtaking. Although we had a very nice stay, I feel that to pay R9 for 5 nights, the facilities should be somewhat more modern and newer. Certain things in the chalet need a bit of renovation. Especially a small detail like a bread plate will be handy. The plastic shower rack does not work well and everything falls out. Maybe an extra pair of towels as it was raining and didn't dry quickly. Maybe just a little renovation will make the place feel like a better status. With the first night's meal in the restaurant we were also disappointed, because the dish on the menu we wanted was not available. When we wanted to order a wine, the words were also "Sorry, we don't have that", and when we wanted to order a sherry a third time, also the words "Sorry, we don't have this". The road has many potholes from the entrance of the town to the Retreat. People just have to make sure they have a car that's tall, otherwise it's not going to work well.
Breathtakingly beautiful. Quiet and peaceful. We were received very kindly. Enjoy a delicious meal at the restaurant. The cottage we stayed in was fully equipped with everything we needed and a bonus was the fireplace in the room. We can highly recommend the accommodation.
Everything was excellent! The restaurant is great.
Had a nice stay with the fireplace fire burning. There was a problem with the cold water tap in the kitchen but was there very quickly to fix it.
Will stay there again.
Lovely place to stay at a reasonable price.
The accommodation was okay, but sharp please. up the bed's mattress, he is completely done.
We had a nice stay at The Edge Mountain Retreat, and we made good use of the fireplace and firewood that were supplied because the weather was cold and rainy. We had dinner in the restaurant, and the food was very good, as was the service. Friendly staff. At this time of year in January, the gardens around the guest house were full of the most beautiful hortensias. We can warmly recommend The Edge Mountain Retreat, and Hogsback is a very special place to visit.
Dirt road at Hogs Back in poor condition. Access route from Cathcart also in poor condition. This will definitely keep potential visitors away.
We had a very nice stay. The accommodation needs upgrading and it is very expensive for what you get. Staff are nice and helpful. The food is good.
Breathtaking! Now one of my favourite destinations. We were faced with a cold front, made a lovely fire and spent a relaxing few days together.
Old kettle and toaster. No tongs. Unity is very basic.
It was a lovely weekend of relaxation and pampering. The rooms are beautifully clean and tidy. It was nice to come to the room after dinner in the evening with a cozy fireplace burning.
Beautiful scenery. The accommodation was tidy with everything needed. We enjoyed our stay there so much that we stayed an extra night.
There is so much to mention that it cannot be summarized in just one paragraph.
Just what we needed. Peaceful getaway from everyday life. The restaurant has amazing food.
After braving riots on the way to Hogsback, it was a lovely unpack and relax at "The Edge" - lovely accommodation with everything needed. A beautiful environment where one can spend hours. Also a lot to do in the area. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast in the restaurant. Will definitely come back again!
When life gets busy, this accommodation is exactly what the soul needs. The suite we stayed in was called Heavens Above. And we truly felt like we were staying in the heavens. The Edge is a place that I would definitely recommend!
Electric blanket and log fire were fantastic. All that is missing is WiFi in the chalets. Yes, I know the WiFi is free in the restaurant area without any obligation to order anything, but the fact that there is no WiFi in the chalets costs The Edge a star.
Beautiful fireplace in the room with enough wood for the weekend.
What a stunning place to visit and stay at. It is well worth a visit. Quiet and tranquil and within walking distance of the most gorgeous views. All items were available in the flat for self-catering however the food at the restaurant for dinner was great, and to add a lovely fireplace. Please visit the quaint town.
Very comfortable accommodation. Nice mattress. There is no TV that specifically gives time for each other. Restaurant offers excellent dishes.
Roads just very bad.
Hogsback is a must-see destination, and The Edge was a lovely base from which to explore the area. The accommodation was comfortable and tidy, and the surroundings picturesque. The restaurant was also a plus and probably the nicest place to eat in the area.
Very peaceful and beautiful surroundings.
Had a wonderful weekend in Hogsback to enjoy the wonderful nature creation. Very neat place and everything affordable with reasonable prices.
Cosy stay and a great view from the cottage.
Grounds beautifully tended, there were fresh flowers in the cottage on the buffet. Staff at reception very professional and friendly. Restaurant excellent.
We were very happy with our cottage. The staff were very friendly and made us feel at home in Hogsback.
Hogsback is a beautiful place. Wish we could have stayed longer to walk all the trails. My only complaint is the incredibly bad condition of the road in town.
Would recommend anytime. Would go again if we could.
Was on my way home, but Hogsback deserves a longer visit. We will go again.
Very pleasant. Gorgeous village ideal for the outdoor type, hiking is amazing.
We stayed in Heaven above and although it is more expensive than the rest of the units, it is unforgettable! Very cute restaurant with a cozy fireplace. Maze has the most beautiful view and definitely worth going to find your soul!
Please add TVs in the houses.
Please could you put extra bedding in the cupboards. Was a bit chilly! But the rooms are so quaint and cozy! Clean and all the amenities you could need are available.
Beautiful scenery and tidy accommodation.
The Edge is special. Feel the bedding of the unit needs attention. Looks old and run down.
The only negative is the bad gravel road to the resort.
More potholes than road.
Accommodation is clean and neat, nothing lacked.
Beautiful weekend getaway. The mountain “edge” is 100 meters from your front door. Breathtaking views. Will definitely be back again.
The location is beautiful. The restaurant was great and the staff there very professional, polite and friendly. The layout of the cottage was lovely but unfortunately the toilet was leaking and all that had been done to fix it was to put a plastic tray underneath, which overflowed and so the floor was constantly wet. The electricity kept tripping and we couldn’t use most of the lights, fridge, kettle or microwave. They were apologetic when I reported it, though.
The good restaurant close to the houses is well located. There is a lot to do in the area.
We had the most amazing weekend, could not have asked for friendlier staff, lovely clean room and such beautiful, peaceful surroundings. We will definitely be back! Thank You!
Very satisfied with the stay. Would recommend it anytime and stay there again. The scenery is unbelievable and the unit was neat, clean, quiet and peaceful.
We stayed lovely. The cottage was clean and tidy and had all the necessary amenities. The view is beautiful. Was blessed to see 2 Knysnaloeries in front of us and also the Cape Parrot. The Labyrinth was lovely to walk, early in the morning in the mist.
The cottage was very tidy, but unfortunately the bed was very uncomfortable and the mattress cover had probably not been washed for a long time and was full of stains. Furthermore, it was wonderful with beautiful views and the food in the restaurant was delicious. Will definitely stay there again.
The unit was immaculately clean and fire place was wonderful.
This must be the best place to stay in Hogsback. It has it all. Beautiful views. Lovely fireplace that kept us warm all the time. Great little restaurant and pub with helpful friendly staff.
What a beautiful place. The scenery and views are amazing. The Kudu Shack where we stayed was so clean and tidy and had everything we needed. The double bed had a warm blanket on it. It really was an experience and I will definitely go again.
We stayed in a lovely unit, Birchwood, and were very comfortable. The weather was freezing so we were grateful for the mohair blanket and wall heater. The meals are delicious and reasonable and the staff all very helpful. Just worried that the road conditions will soon make it impossible for normal vehicles to reach this beautiful spot.
Value for money and very worth it.
Although there are numerous accommodation options in Hogsback, The Edge is very well located near the edge of the gorge. Our unit was next to a forest, which created a unique atmosphere. The restaurant does not offer good value for money (nothing wrong with the food, just too little for too much) and we waited about an hour on a not busy night. Maybe better to stay in The Edge, and eat in town. There are several units available at The Edge at reasonable rates.
Hogsback is a sweet little town. The edge view from the chalet was simply amazing and the fire place in the unit created a very cozy atmosphere.
We used a special offer. We will, however, not be able to pay the normal tariffs.
The Edge is a lovely venue with rolling hills, clouds and plant life. The labyrinth is phenomenal and became a daily routine. My only negative comment is that the best view from the Sunbird house is through the toilet window, other than that staff were great, food was good, even if a bit pricey and I can only imagine what this must look like in winter. We will be back for one of the other units later in the year.
Lovely chilled venue with an exceptional little cottage with the most beautiful view.
The view is special, the restaurant great, but the linen has marks and stains on it. Furthermore, they also didn't take my deposit into account and I had to contact them to ask for a refund.
Compared to other destinations in SA we were surprised at the cleanliness and luxury for the price. Only a few steps out of your house you walk onto a breathtaking cliff with views over a lush valley.
Edge Mountain Retreat was excellent. A lovely little house (Sugarbird), tucked away in the mountains in a forest. What more could one ask for? Edge Mountain has its own restaurant with delicious meals and large grounds with beautiful views and steps. The gardens are very beautiful and well maintained. Service is also great. Sugarbird unit was clean and comfortable with all the amenities a self catering unit should have. The singing of Knysna lullabies at one's window every morning is a definite bonus. It is quiet, private and definitely a place to be peaceful.
Beautiful, peaceful setting. Loved listening to the birds.
It was a great pleasure to stay in this lovely place. Good reception, kind staff and the prettiest view. Was nice and cosy. The only thing that was a hindrance was the state of the roads in Hogsback, but it has nothing to do with The Edge.
