Hogsback Arminel Hotel

Hogsback is a very beautiful destination, especially in winter. The indigenous forests, waterfalls, mist, and fresh air are wonderful.

The dinner served at the hotel was 4 courses and all were delicious with extremely generous portions. Breakfast was excellent too, especially the fresh crumpets.

The staff ensures clean rooms and the place is beautiful and tranquil. However, some guests mentioned issues with damp smells and cleanliness in specific units.

The hotel offers a 'bush resort' feel, spacious cottages, and beautiful gardens. Additionally, the hotel provides a communal pool and playground on the grounds.

The hotel offers free parking for guests, ensuring convenience during your stay.

Several guests mentioned that the gas fires in the rooms were not adequate. Consider choosing a room with a gas fireplace for better heating during colder seasons.

If staying in a self-catering unit, consider requesting one away from the main road to minimize noise from passing trucks.

Before arrival, request that the kitchen pots and casserole in the chalets be checked to ensure all lids are in place and handles are fixed.

Upon arrival, check for any damp smells in the unit, especially in the bedrooms, as some guests reported encountering this issue.

If visiting during load shedding periods, inquire about provisions for load shedding, such as hot water bottles, flasks, and alternative heat sources.

As there may be limited TV channels and no WiFi, consider bringing your own entertainment for quiet evenings, especially if staying in a unit without WiFi.

Before settling in, inspect the room for any leaks, especially from the roof and fridge, and check for any signs of dampness.

If concerned about the condition of the rooms, consider requesting updated accommodation to ensure a comfortable stay.

Several guests mentioned that the views from the rooms were spectacular. Opting for a room with a balcony facing the fountain comes highly recommended.
