Hogsback is a unique little village nestled high in the Amatola-mountains of the Eastern Cape. There are magnificent views all round the plateau and a vast network of forest trails leading through the centuries-old Afro-montane indigenous forest. Easy-to-reach waterfalls, such as the famous 'Madonna and Child', 'Kettlespout', '39 steps', 'Swallowtail' as well as tons of secret streams and waterspots, are scattered throughout.
The village has a large homesteading community with a weekly food and craft market on Saturdays. There are many little gift and curio shops including pottery, crystal, chocolate and cannabis shops with many other attractions.
Being a cloud nursery, Hogsback keeps its nature club busy with an abundance of flora exotic to Africa flourishing in the misty high altitude. Azaleas, rhododendrons and hydrangeas, maples and large californian Redwoods are interspersed with the native species. Mushrooms found nowhere else in SA makes it a mycologist's paradise too. The Cape Parrot Project provides a safe breeding ground for SA's only indigenous parrot species.
