Hogsback - Western Cape Accommodation
Lowestoffe Country Lodge is secluded in the heart of the
Elandsberg Mountains. This pristine and exquisite setting, in
the amphitheatre of the Hogsback area, forms the backdrop for
family holidays or weekend getaways for those who want to appreciate country
living at its very best.
Nestled within 5 500 hectares of spectacular countryside
are three modern, self-catering lodges. Each lodge is separate
and very private as the privacy and comfort of our guests is paramount.
Together with spectacular scenery, and crisp high country air this
must surely be one of the finest, most affordable, family run country
retreats offered in South Africa today.
Accommodation consists of three extremely private, comfortable houses. With
no-nonsense décor and spaciousness this is home-from-home accommodation
in every way. The gardens around each of the houses with their huge lawns and
total privacy, make the invitation to relax and "chill out",
all the more enticing.
Trout Lodge
This attractive lodge, built in 1990, has a beautiful setting overlooking
the main Lowestoffe trout-fishing dam. It has a lounge with free-standing
fire-place for cosy wintry evenings, 4 bedrooms, one with a double bed, very
well equipped kitchen - microwave, stove, fridge/freezer, dining room and
2 bathrooms, one en-suit. Both a shower and a bath are available.
The décor is comfortable and appealing and duck-down
duvets help ease you into a good nights sleep away from it all. Arise in
the morning - open the curtains - and fill your soul with the scenic beauty
which surrounds you. You may even be fortunate to catch an early morning
glimpse of the wildebeest frolicking just beyond the dam.

5 500 hectares of riding pleasure - go wherever your heart desires - along the
river - up the mountains, and rest assured that your guide will be there to help
you in any way in which you would like to be accommodated.
We are now privileged to be able to offer the fisherman four
large dams fully stocked with Rainbow Trout and one smaller bass dam. Lowestoffe
Dam and Poplar Dam are both to be found on Lowestoffe itself, while Woodhouselea
has two big dams as well. (2x4 LDV vehicle recommended for these two dams).
18km's of the Klipplaat river are also available to the fisherman.
Delight in this beautiful stretch of water by fishing for trout or yellowfish,
or just for the shear enjoyment of it. Peaceful, uninterrupted wild trout
fishing at it's best - with all the comforts of home.
Walking, strolling, hiking - none will disappoint you. Hiking
up the Elandsberg mountain, standing where the Black Eagle spend their
days at 7 200ft, is a fantastic experience. If more gentle walks are the
order of the day, there are certainly plenty to choose from.
Bushman paintings - depicting some of the first horse paintings.
Bird-watching - from the Black Eagle, Fish Eagle and Crested
Cranes to hundreds of other species of bird life. Mountain biking - places
abound - just bring your own bikes.
Tennis court - is available at the main homestead with a jungle gym alongside
it in case you have to entertain your little ones! Farming activities -
shearing, lambing, calving, Holistic farming practices etc., we will
gladly share with you.
Just a short scenic drive will get you to Hogsback (24km from Lowestoffe and
10km from Rockford). You can spend hours experiencing the uniqueness of this
quaint little village or walking through the beautiful forests.
The game reserves of Mpofu, Tsolwana and Double Drift are but an hour's drive
away
