"Comfortable and well equipped"

Juliet Cooke

"It's my second stay in the same cottage. Warm and cosy, the bed is comfy and everything is fine except the bath and kitchen towels, many of which are rather well worm and have holes in, like the last time I was there. That's my only complaint!"


"The view as well as our cottage."

The place also sent someone to help us as we got stuck on a mountain. Very friendly and helpful. The view was also amazing and the place was extraordinary. We had everything we could have possibly needed and had a ball. Will stay here again in a heart beat. "


"Lovely!"

(South Africa) Rochelle Fairfield

"Our stay at The Edge was very short, but the time we spent there was lovely. The accommodation was very cozy and clean. The receptionist was very friendly and assisted us when there was an issue with the booking. The restaurant on site is very convenient."

"Chestnut cottage"

(South Africa) Nicole Meyer

"An idyllic cottage and setting, with a lovely garden with Knysna Turacos and other exciting birds.Our cottage was not ready when we arrived tired and we had to wait 45 min., but it was worth the wait. Interior was in perfect condition and the little extras made us feel welcome."


"Beautiful setting."

(South Africa) Viv Belbin

"We loved our stay at The Edge. So comfortable and well equipped. We could not have asked for a better view! Highly recommended. "


"'"

(South Africa) Hartmut Winkler

"Wonderful location. Quiet. A place to recharge. Nice atmosphere. Clean. Road there a bit bumpy, and the walk to the village through the forest is poorly marked. One does not go to Hogsback to watch tv, but if there is a tv in the room, then it should work properly (which ours did not)."

"My husband and I had a magical weekend away in Apple Tree cottage at the Edge. The accommodation is set in the most beautiful gardens. We enjoyed wondering the gardens, the labyrinth and the amazing view site. We received great service from reception and enjoyed the hot chocolate and playing cards around the fire in the restaurant. We were able to enjoy a delicious meal on Friday night at the restaurant on site without having made a prior booking. This trip we only visited the Big Tree accessed from away with the Fairies (awesome outdoor bath! ). As on previous trips we had compkeyed the other hikes and the misty weather made everything an extra challenge. We loved our weekend in Hogsback and would recommend the Edge to anyone."

"The views are spectacular!!

The accommodation was nice, clean and cosy. The food at the restaurant was average.

Upon our arrival on 31/12/2014, the receptionist told us that our booking and payment were not received. The accommodation we booked and the deposit paid was not acknowledged. We booked a specific chalet at The Edge. We had to settle for something less, although we did receive a bit of a discount on that garden rondavel. Although I showed the receptionist the booking and confirmation on my Ipad, the lady still kept to what she said.

The next morning (New Year's day) SafariNow confirmed the booking and payment and contacted The Edge. When we checked out, we were told (by a different receptionist) that the booking and money were received on time from SafariNow.

I am very greatful of the great and speedy intervention from SafariNow in this regard! Especially on New Year's day!"


"Rejuvenated"

(South Africa) Angie Butkovic

"What a wonderful retreat from the daily bustle. Gave us an opportunity to reconnect as a family over board games, hikes, etc as there is no tv and intermittent 3G signal."


"Outstanding"

(South Africa) Clive Campbell-Smart

"The service was of the tops and the food in the restaurant was of superior quality and service.

"On the Edge"

"Friday the 10/06/2011 was the date that we booked into the Edge, it had been raining hard all week. We were contacted by The Edge to say that one part of the road had been washed away but we needn't worry as they would arrange a 4X4 to fetch us. What amazing service! We were booked into the Sugarbird but upon arriving discovered that the bathroom was full of water, I did not mind and asked for a mop, when the manager insisted on moving us to the Stargazer. Wow! What a place, I loved it. We then went to the restaurant and had one of the best meals we have had in ages! This was a surprise because I did not expect SUCH a great meal! In the end we had a fantastic stay, this was the first time our children had been to Hogsback and they asked if we could please buy Stargazer as they want to live there, Dad can chop wood for a living and Mom can make crafts and do bookkeeping!!!! They were sooo stoked. We thank you for an amazing stay and great, friendly service! We have been speaking to friends to book with us next time, and yes, it would definitely be at The Edge!"
