Maple Grove in Hogsback

Pragtige ligging, heerlike atmosfeer & rustigheid vir die siel.

Ek en my man sal definitief weer by Maple Grove oorbly. Ons het heerlik die naweek daar spandeer en dit is lekker sentraal in die pragtige Hogsback, naby al die besienswaardighede.

Natuurskoon

Maple Gove le weggesteek in ongelooflike mooi natuurskoon. Die "Cabin" is n gerieflike selfsorg eenheid met DSTV (insluitende afrikaanse kanale) wat n bonus is.

Absolutely wonderful stay.

From the time we arrived, till the time we checked out, Nic was an amazing host. Thank you! Will definitely be back!

Friendly, clean, neat, peaceful, safe accommodation!

Exceptionally friendly welcome and help. Value for money accommodation in a clean, fresh cottage. Everything you need is there. Very peaceful accommodation. Definitely a place we'll stay at again.

Cosy, quite and relaxing.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to visiting again. The Walkers are friendly and helpful. The unit was well equipped. I would definitely recommend that you stay at Maple Grove if you are visiting Hogsback.

Wonderful and peaceful stay.

Far exceeded our expectations.

Friendly reception and excellent accommodation.

Friendly reception, great.

Perfect place to reflect, meditate and recharge!

Suited us perfectly in that we wanted to do as little as possible for as long as possible. Literally to recharge for the second half of the year. Well appointed and comfortable unit, everything you require. Only downside would be that accessibility is a little 'rough' on ones vehicle. 4x4 recommended.

Exceeded my expectations.

The accommodation and scenery was unbeatable. The following can be addressed: The outdoor braai can be replaced/upgraded. The current braai is difficult to braai and is ageing. Provide a small axe to cut the wood for the fireplace/braai. The burnt ash/coals of the braai can please be disposed of somewhere else. Currently it is thrown right next to the braai and it breaks down to the beautiful scenery.

It was a nice place to sit and relax in front of the fireplace.

Maple Grove's staff has great service. The accommodation was very neat and well-equipped. It's a little good value for money.

Peace in nature that make you grateful for life again.

The hosts were wonderful and gave us a warm welcome at our neat and clean unit that was everything we had expected. The area is quiet and it felt like we were alone. The fireplace and sherry was wonderful. We will recommend it to anyone and want to go back when it's snowing.

Pragtige omgewing en baie mooi en skoon woonstel.

Maple Grove is baie privaat geleë met natuurskoon om jou, ek dink net dat die toestand van die paaie in Hogsback is `n groot probleem, (gruis wat oor teer gegooi is) en stof was `n groot probleem aangesien trokke deur die dorp beweeg en baie stof veroorsaak. Dit gaan beslis toerisme negatief beïnvloed.

Comfortable and beautiful.

We had a very comfortable stay at Maple Grove. Thank you, Lyndsay, for everything.

Fantastic! Sad to leave!

Everything was perfect. Lyndsay was very friendly and helpful. The cottage we stayed in was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed. Lyndsay gives attention to detail and one can't but feel at home.

Snoesig, huislik en uiters aangenaam.

Lieflike oopplan-opset in 'n pragtige omgewing. Warm en knus, maar ruim genoeg dat jy nie beknop sal voel nie. Vra maar net vooraf oor die roete tot daar, want al is daar 'n mooi teerpad daarheen, verkies Google Maps die 30 km grondpad (dis 'n rowwe bergpas grondpad). Die uitsig was wel asemrowend!

Gerieflik en snoesig.

Die naweek by Maple Grove in Hogsback was werklik ongelooflik lekker. Die akkommodasie was gerieflik en die kaggel en elektriese komberse het gehelp teen die koue weer van Hogsback. Ons sal beslis teruggaan!

Warm, huislike atmosfeer wat jou laat tuis voel met alles wat jy kan nodig kry.

Ons het al 'n vorige keer daar gebly en het gekies om weer daar te bly. Ontvangs is baie vriendelik en gasvry. Is bereid om te help met raad en daad. Gesellige kuierplek vir die wat nie wil of kan al die staproetes doen nie.

Home from home with cosy warmth.

Baie hartlik verwelkom. 'n Volledige klein huis met als in en 'n kaggel vir vuur en baie hout. Baie gemoedelik. Van die kombuisgereedskap kan vervang word. Baie interessante leesstof oor die geskiedenis en wat-om-te-doen. Alles was skoon en in werkende toestand. Baie billik. Mooiste uitsigte en plantegroei. Die gastehuisie het regte charm.

Fantastiese omgewing met pragtige bkyblek.

Hierdie is voorwaar 'n pragtige netjiese en besonderse plek. Elke mens moet hierdie wêreld beleef en om in Maple Grove te bly maak dit nog meer spesiaal.

Lekker privaat.

Dit was baie aangenaam! Die natuurskoon is ongelooflik!

The two days were better than the 3 weeks in Kruger, and one week in Natal, as voted by the family!

Although the hosts were in New Zealand, they did not leave a stone untouched to make our stay comfortable, relaxed and full of surprises. We'll be back asap!

Rustic.

Baie lekker. Pragtige omgewing.

Dit was fantasties!

Maple Grove is een van daardie weggesteekte klein skatte. Geleë tussen die natuurlike woude van Hogsback, 'n lekker plek om heeltemal af te skakel en van al jou stres ontslae te raak.

Was extremely enjoyable.

The owners were friendly and helpful. We had a very nice stay.

Altyd 'n treffer!

Die Walkers is altyd so gasvry en bedagsaam dat ons tyd hier sal bly wanneer ons in Hogsback is. Baie dankie vir julle hulp om ons verblyf voor die troue stresvry te maak!

Ons het dit baie geniet, maar sal nie weer gaan nie.

Die pad na Maple Grove is nie van die beste nie. Ons was nog nooit in Hogsback nie en het nie besef dat dit meestal grondpad is nie. Dis regtig baie mooi daar en die plekkie het baie potensiaal. Ons sou dit egter bietjie skoner verkies het, maar dis dalk net ons. Hou in gedagte dat jy na die eerste krat hout gaan betaal daarvoor. (Ons het R50 vir 2 nagte se kaggel ekstra betaal). Die cottage staan onder 'n groot boom en dit gaan met baie harde geluide gepaard op die sinkdak. Ons hou van reën op 'n sinkdak, maar dit het ons altwee nagte gereeld wakker gemaak. Dit mag dalk 'n rukkie neem om aan sulke naggeluide gewoond te raak.

Fantastic.

We recommend Maple Grove. Beautiful interior and well-equipped. Friendly reception and they made us feel welcome. Comfy beds and linen.

Lost our hearts in Hogsback.

WOW, what a wonderful place. Carina and I enjoyed staying in the Cabin - cosy and comfortable. The welcome was great and the Cabin is special - fantastic view of the garden and the birds. All the facilities are 100%. Lindsay and Peter are great hosts and Lindsay thanks for your caring when the electricity went down. Three evenings was not long enough!

What a wonderful experience in nature.

I never say "wow" and I never say "awesome". But Maple Grove made me say "wow" and "awesome" a couple of times. Lyndsay and Peter got some help from mother nature with regard to the location, but the rest is all thanks to them. They are friendly and helpful without being overbearing and that is quite the achievement. We stayed in The Cabin and the layout and finish is excellent and the little Queen Anne stove was just what we needed to keep the cold at bay. The deck with the BBQ is great and they also have covered parking. I write this review because we have a lot of experience staying in self-catering places, from studios to two-bedroom units, from Paternoster tot Port Alfred, from the KZN Midlands to Carnarvon and Clanwilliam, and from the Waterberg to Bredasdorp and Robertson. Maple Grove's Cabin is awesome.

Perfect.

Beautiful place and very comfortable.

Lovely experience! Just a pitty about the bad roads.

Maple Grove has everything you will need — including a peaceful environment in the bush. The roads are just in a very bad condition — probably meant for 4x4 vehicles.

An unforgettable experience.

Amazing! Was lovely and relaxing and truly a peaceful getaway. Would have liked to go again if it wasn't so far from Gauteng. Could consider a flight to East London.

Fantastic location. Exactly the mountain house I had in my mind's eye.

Maple Grove is an experience filled with surprises! Not only is Hogsback an experience, but Maple Grove is the perfect location to explore the beautiful town and surroundings. The cabin lacks nothing and is equipped to face the changeable weather.

Comfortable and affordable.

Incredible bird life, environment and accommodation.

"The Cabin" is a cute and comfortable unit for 2 people. The view of the garden from the deck is beautiful.

Enjoyed the rusks and sherry and there are more than enough heating options in the cabin. Well equipped and friendly service.

Food for the soul.

Maple Grove is a well equipped holiday unit for a break from the busy city life. The fireplace is so cosy and the scenery is stunning.

It was a lovely quiet place to return to after a day's walking.

It was a lovely quiet little place to return to after a day of walking in the woods. Maple Grove is tranquil and peaceful. Enough wood for the fireplace is provided as well as milk in the fridge upon arrival. We had a wonderful visit, braaied, hiked and relaxed at the Walkers. It was a great getaway. All you have to keep in mind is the road. If you are visiting in the winter/rainy season, your vehicle needs to be rather high off the ground as the road can get rather ugly on the way to Maple Grove. The most of Hogsback is also dirt roads.

Wonderlike ervaring.

Het die verblyf baie geniet. Die kothuis het alles in wat jy nodig het, mooi netjies en "cosy". Ons het baie lekker Wimbledon gekyk terwyl ons rooiwyn voor die vuur geniet het. Wonderlike eienaars (los vir jou 'n flip file vol inligting oor die geskiedenis van die dorpie, die eienaars, en oulike goed om te doen). Die dorpie is reguit Lord of the Rings. Sal weer gaan!

Fantasties.

Die omgewing is pragtig. Die huis is so mooi en gerieflik, met alles wat mens nodig het. Dit was 'n heerlike naweek en ons wou net langer bly.

Uitstekende wegbreek en rustig.

Ons het net een nag oorgebly. Die Cottage is ideaal vir wittebroodpaartjies. Alles is daar en baie snoesige atmosfeer. Kaggel, sjerrie, stile.

Pragtige en rustige omgewing.

Goed toegeruste chalet met 'n huislike atmosfeer en die kaggelvuur was heerlik.

Kan met geen twyfel graag aanbeveel word.

Die hut is gerieflik, groot en baie knus met 'n kaggel en groot dek om die boomryk tuin te bewonder. Ongelooflik lekker gebly en by die kaggel gekuier. Waarde vir geld.

Die verblyf was heel aangenaam, veral die kaggel.

Ons kuier was baie vinnig en kort, maar sal dit by enigiemand aanbeveel. Sal definitief weer wil gaan kuier.

Dit was uitstekende verblyf. Ek sal beslis weer daar gaan slaap.

Die plek is lekker stil en in die koue was alles wat mens nodig het om jou warm te hou daar.

Baie lekker gebly. Baie vriendelike diens.

So lekker snoesig en warm in die koue aande. Sal verseker volgende keer weer daar gaan bly.

Net twee aande, maar dit was onvergeetlik!

The cottage was like an Alpine chalet, it was very well appointed with everything you need and with lots of extras showing great pride in the chalet. Our hostess was Lindsay Walker and she went to a lot of trouble to make our stay so pleasant. Our stay was in autumn and the colours were amazing. Maple Grove is highly recommended.

Aangenaam.

Baie oulike plekkie. Rustig en stil.

Lekke!

Sien die sterre hieronder.

Baie mooi en

Baie lekker gebly en die aandag van die eienaars uitstekend. Die eenheid was silwerskoon en die stofie 'n wenner!

Hogsback, wat 'n wonderlike ervaring !

Om Hogsback te besoek was nog altyd een van my "bucket list"-drome. Maple Grove het absoluut aan al ons verwagtinge voldoen: wondelike gashere, besonder goed toegeruste verblyf.

Perfect for a much needed relaxing weekend away! 5*****

Great family Visit. I would recommend Maple Grove to anyone. Fantastic, quiet, and great setup.

Truly a nice stay and experience

Fantastic accommodation with friendly people. Advise to future guests: use a higher vehicle to reach here, as most of the roads leading to Hogsback are in a terrible condition. However, it was a very good experience all round, if roads are not considered.

Uitstekend.

Dit was kos vir die siel - rustig, veilig en ontspannend. Vriendelike en gasvrye eienaars.

A very good option for a few days in Hogsback

Positives: very friendly & attentive (but not overbearing) hosts, fantastic welcoming attention to small details in the cottage (eg. flowers, rusks, muscadel, wood & fire ready to lights), very nice gardens & peaceful atmosphere. Amazing value for money & well designed accommodation. The Negatives: the cottage is starting to show just a little of its age & small maintenance needs are starting to surface. The 3 Jack Russell dogs kept us awake until 11pm barking one night while the owners were out - but I don't think this is usual. Maple Grove is just a little far from the main "centre" of Hogsback - but the price makes up for it.

The host and cottage was wonderful and the setting is superb.

I will definitely recommend Maple Grove to anyone visiting Hogsback. The hosts were absolutely wonderful with our planning and stay.

Baie lekker, veral met die kaggel.

Dit was 'n heerlike verblyf, en ons sal dit aanbeveel. Ons het veral van die kaggel gehou.
