Property information

Surrounded by cliffs, dramatic views and unspoiled indigenous Afromontane forest with fascinating swirling mists and cloud formations – all part of the pristine, natural environment. The Edge has a range of self-catering cottages (some perched on the edge of the cliff) and bed-and-breakfast rooms, a restaurant and cosy a bar, all in a beautiful tranquil garden setting.

Neighbourhood information

One's overwhelming sense of Hogsback is the quiet, broken only by the singing of birds or the primeval call of the Knysna Lourie - even the chatter of a troop of Samango monkeys as they feed and play in the canopies of trees. And when you do hear a motor vehicle you wonder who is coming to visit. Hogsback houses among the treesEnlarge button This village, high up on the Amathole mountains and surrounded by centuries-old indigenous Afro-montane forests, has a dramatic natural beauty. Look towards the mountains and escarpment and you see several waterfalls. The Hogsback PassEnlarge button In the other direction you can see the Tyume valley and beyond. Overlooking it all are the "three Hogs". From the top of Gaika's Kop (1700 m) you have a panoramic view: The Elandsberg mountains and the Seymour valley, even the coastline some 120 km away as the crow flies.
