“beautiful quiet spot”
So authentically presented, sweet little cottage, well preserved. Awesome garden to stroll around with berry bushes and a dam as well as monkeys and parrots in the tall trees surrounding the cottage

“Tranquil, nostalgic gorgeous cottage.”
Quaint, the cottage itself is beautiful and is set in a gorgeous garden - all of which we had to ourselves. It was a step back in time. Exceptionally clean and our host Norma was so sweet.

This cottage has been a favorite of ours since we first visited a couple of years ago, the owners are so friendly and helpful and even offered to make a fire for us over the rainy weekend... everything you might need they have, a lot of attention is paid to the small details, we can't wait to visit again,

I've stayed here previously and the place is great for location, comfort and a shirt break in the mountains. The gardens are beautiful too.

Back o' the Moon cottage and the grounds it's situated on is like a tranquil mini resort on its own, situated in an already peaceful part of the Easter Cape. One could spend hours just enjoying the expansive garden and pond areas, beautifully maintained by friendly hosts Norma & Derek.

“Relax and rest while enjoying a quintessential Hogsback experience.”
The location was so central. The value for money was fantastic. The cottage had so many extra things. It is a great place to relax and rest. The gardens are lovely to wonder around as well. The hosts were extremely accommodating and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed the Food Festival down the road on the Friday night and both the Parkrun and market on Saturday around Hogsback.
