Hotel Description
Nestling some 1400m above the harsher East Cape landscape, Hogsback is a restful oasis, rich in ecological diversity. Rare Cape Parrots, Loeries, Samango monkeys, as well as plants, insects and even frogs are found. Set at the heart of early frontier history, the Thyume valley was the seat of the Rarabe Xhosa chiefs. The thickly forested mountain reaches provided sanctuary for the Xhosa clans during the border wars. Early settlement of Hogsback arose from the development of forestry. The cooler climate also attracted missionaries and teachers from the hot valley below4 Reasons to book your travel to Ashfield Cottages with Apex Travel Club
