Pleasant, comfortable, friendly, well situated.

We arrived late and were greeted by a very friendly host, Naomi. We felt at home right from the start and everything was as expected. Naomi explained the house rules, which were all very reasonable. She also supplied us with more firewood for the fireplace and charcoal for the Weber. The setting is beautiful and safe. A personalised letter was left in the lounge with the WiFi password. We will certainly use the accommodation again.

Beautiful and tranquil property offering a comfortable stay.

Our group of 4 friends stayed in the Piet My Vrou Cottage at Athanor and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We only wished we could have stayed longer. The cottage was very comfortable, clean and well-equipped. Naomi was a fantastic and accommodating host, with an abundance of helpful information about what was on in Hogsback. Her garden is absolutely stunning and reflects the overall beauty of Hogsback. We would stay here again without hesitation.

Peace, tranquility. Everything we needed.

It was a great help to be kept abreast of all that was going on in Hogsback during our time there. We appreciated being left to our own devices.

It was the most fabulous little cottage, so clean and confortable with a stunning view.

The little cottage was set with a stunning view of the mountains. It was equipped with all we needed for our stay in Hogsback. It was very neat, cosy and clean. I would definitely be staying at Athanor should we visit Hogsback again.

Thanks Hayley would love to have you back, was a pleasure hosting you and your family.

Netjies, skoon plek met al die geriewe wat jy nodig het.

Dit is 'n pragtige plekkie om in te bly. Eienaars is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Dit is weggesteek maar die uitsig is fantasties. Die pad na die Athanor is meer geskik vir groter voertuie. Verder was dit 'n wonderlike naweek.

Neat, clean place with all the amenities you need.

It is a beautiful place to stay. Owners are very friendly and helpful. It is hidden but the view is fantastic. The road to the Athanor is more suitable for larger vehicles. Other than that it was a great weekend.

Prentjiemooi ervaring.

Vanaf jou stoep op Piet-My-Vrou sien jy net bome en berge. Hoor net voëls en is nie bewus van enige mens nie. Absolute rus omring deur die natuur in 'n pragtige goed toegeruste huisie. 'n Besoek aan Athanor-Hogsback is 'n moet op jou te doen lysie.

Picture-perfect experience.

From your porch on Piet-My-Vrou you only see trees and mountains. Hears only birds and is not aware of any humans. Absolute rest surrounded by nature in a beautiful well-equipped cottage. A visit to Athanor-Hogsback is a must on your to-do list.

Lekker ontspanne atmosfeer in 'n pragtige omgewing.

Gerhard en Naomie het die slag om hulle gaste onmiddellik op hulle gemak te stel. Die geriewe is van hoogstaande gehalte en die besoek aan die pragtige Hogsback die hoogtepunt van ons besoek aan die Oos-Kaap. Ons sal graag wil terug keer vir n latere besoek.

Gerhard and Naomie know how to put their guests at ease immediately. The facilities are of high quality and the visit to the beautiful Hogsback the highlight of our visit to the Eastern Cape. We would love to return for a later visit.

Ons moet weer terruggaan, rustig, gerieflik and mooi.

Naomie het ons vriendelik ontvang en dadelik tuis laat voel. Akkomodasie was skoon, modern en gerieflik met al die nodige toerusting vir selfsorg. Ook vuurmaakgoed vir kaggel vir die eerste nag. Gastehuis is redelik afgesonder in heerlike stilte met 'n besonderse uitsig wat ons gedwing het om buite te sit en ontbyt eet ten spyte van koel weer. Vanaf die perseel is 'n lieflike staproete af na 'n waterstroom.

We have to go back again, peaceful, comfortable and beautiful.

Naomie received us kindly and immediately made us feel at home. Accommodation was clean, modern and comfortable with all the necessary equipment for self-catering. Also kindling for fireplace for the first night. Guesthouse is quite secluded in lovely silence with an exceptional view which forced us to sit outside and have breakfast despite cool weather. From the premises there is a lovely walking trail down to a water stream.

Dis rustig en in die natuur.

Dit was regtig die lekkerste blyplek van ons vakansie. As ons weer so 'n kans kan kry sal ons vir 'n week daar gaan bly. Alles is in die blyplek, pak net jou klere. Jy kan jou klere self daar was ook. Dis jou huis weg van jou huis en die mense daar is so vriendelik! Die omgewing is so rustig en skoon!

It really was the nicest place to stay on our vacation. If we can get such a chance again we will stay there for a week. Everything is in the accommodation, just pack your clothes. You can wash your clothes yourself there too. It's your home away from home and the people there are so friendly! The environment is so peaceful and clean!

Ons naweek op Hogsback was 'n heerlike ervaring en die goeie verblyf is 'n belangrike rede daarvoor.

Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang en het dadelik tuis en gemaklik gevoel. Die verblyf is baie mooi en gerieflik met alles wat ons nodig gehad het. Die tuin is 'n voëlparadys!
