Organic Origins

     

 This was our second time staying at Organic Origins and we loved every second of it. It is the most beautiful place and the log cabins have everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing trip. The food, both the breakfast basket and Jaco’s personalised dinner, was incredible and we had a wonderful massage with Dayle. Jaco and Dayle are so welcoming and go out of their way to ensure everyone has an incredible experience.

 My first visit, and certainly not my last - I knew within minutes of arriving that I’ll be coming back again. This is the perfect place for a writer’s retreat. The position of the cabin is ideal for a waterfall walk or a longer forest stroll. Dayle and Jaco were warm and welcoming, and the breakfast basket was epic and plentiful. Highly recommended, and can’t wait to return!

 We had a lovely stay at Blackwood Cottage with Dayle and Jaco. We were welcomed so warmly, and our accommodation was a perfect mixture of comfortable, quirky, and chique. We absolutely loved the delicious breakfast that was given to us on the first morning, and daily walks to the waterfall for a swim, cooking food by the fire and star gazing on the double story deck made our stay just that much more magical. We will definitely be back!

 We had an amazing time in Hogsback. The accommodation was simple and beautiful. The private waterfall was definitely a highlight and amazing to sit there cooling down and enjoying the surrounding nature. Probably the best thing was the warm fresh homemade bread with other breakfast treats delivered on our first morning. I highly recommend staying at Organic Origins. Dayle and Jaco were amazing hosts. 😁

 We had a wonderful stay at Dayle and Jaco's place. The location is beautiful! The cabin is just as in the photos's and within hearing distance of a waterfall. Dayle and Jaco are very friendly as well, we received a delicious basket of goodies on our first morning and they kept us up to date on what's happening in the town.

 Such a wonderful stay! Dayle and Jaco were super hosts and made us feel incredibly comfortable. The setting of the cabin is very special! 

Leah, South Africa: Protea Cabin

     

 This was easily one of the most magical experiences we have ever had. Jaco & Dayle are super friendly and helpful hosts, they delivered a superb basket of fresh eggs, homemade jam, lemon curd and freshly baked bread which we will think about for the rest of our lives. A peaceful and amazing stay, could not recommend enough. We can't wait to be back! 

Adrian, South Africa: Camphor Cabin

     

 This is my second time here and one of my fav places in the world to retreat and re-centre. Dayle and Jaco are wonderful hosts and kind people with amazing energy. A long way from JHB but well worth the journey. 

Kerry, South Africa: Protea Cabin

     

 This is our third time back at Dayle & Jaco’s place. The beautiful cabins are amongst the trees - you get an instant sense of welcoming and you can’t help but breathe in the serenity. Everything is thoughtfully curated as to be just what you need, without any clutter. But the best part for us is how fluidly Dayle and Jaco host with such authenticity and warmth. They are excellent hosts and not to mention the incredible breakfast basket (I dream about that fresh bread and granola when I’m away). This has stayed our top spot over the years, it has a magic that cannot be easily captured or replicated. It is where we go to recharge and reconnect. Thank you for creating such a haven for your guests!

 what an incredible spot. i’m reluctant to write a review out of fear that everyone will discover the secret of hogsback — and this little cabin in the woods — but it is simply too good to gatekeep. we loved dayle and jaco… from the incredible breakfast basket of fresh bread and jam and yogurt to massages to the roar of the property’s waterfall. we found ourselves replenished and at peace after a few days in the cabin. do yourself a favor and just book it now! 

Elizabeth, USA: Protea Cabin

     

 We had a lovely stay in this quaint cottage in Hogsback and Dayle and Jaco were great hosts… we recommend staying here for a break away and the waterfall was a delightful surprise too. The great surprise of the breakfast was delicious with freshly home baked bread and variety of goodies to enjoy. Thank you for the hospitality and for the stay! We will be back 🏡🌈😊 

Tamara, South Africa: Blackwood Cottage

     

 Truly an incredible experience. Highly recommend staying at Dayle and Jaco's stunning cabins at Organic Origins for the best cabin-in-the-woods experience ever. The Camphor cabin is cosy, well equipped and private with a sheltered balcony overlooking the forest. The breakfast basket was a real treat and made us feel so welcome. 

Marike, South Africa: Camphor Cabin

     

 Beautifully built and furnished, ultra romantic, private cottages in pristine forest with a nearby waterfall. Delicious breakfasts discreetly delivered to the door in a basket. Herb gardens border outdoor decks. Ideal for honeymooners or anyone who appreciates being immersed in peace, in nature. The exceptionally kind and fascinating owners live in their own home on the property and take care of every detail to ensure a memorable guest experience. Highly recommended 

Lindy, Botswana: Protea Cabin

     

 We loved our stay at Camphor Cabin, the views and privacy were just what we were looking for. Dayle & Jaco are brilliant accommodating hosts. Their breakfast basket was just so special! I was lucky enough to fit in a massage with Dayle, it was a divine experience, I cannot recommend enough! 

Aimee, South Africa: Camphor Cabin

     

 This place is a real gem! We originally planned to stay four nights and extended it to six. Dayle & Jaco are incredibly nice hosts - and in addition you can enjoy a wonderful massage from Dayle and excellent dinners made by Jaco. The cabin (we stayed in Protea) is very cozy and very private. This is definitely the place to go to in Hogsback. You‘ll enjoy it. It’s a shame that we can only give five stars. 

Wolfgang, South Africa: Protea Cabin

     

 I had a fantastic stay . The place was secluded and peaceful, perfect for a relaxing getaway. It was also very cozy and well-equipped. The hosts was responsive and helpful. Highly recommend! 

Lundikazi, South Africa: Protea Cabin

     

 A seriously peaceful relaxing stay. Hosts are amazing, accommodation is a mix of rustic but has everything you could need and very scenic surrounds. Perfect for couples trying to find a quiet getaway. Their breakfast basket is quite something spectacular and something to look forward to. We will be back. Highly recommend.

 Is it possible to give a 11/5 rating? THE friendliest people, so accommodating and helpful with local recommendations. An absolute treasure of a stay, secluded, romantic, cozy and so worth it. The home made granola, lemon curd and ciabatta is a reason to come back on its own - BEYOND DELICIOUS. We spent the time sitting by the fire, playing board games and meandering by the waterfall on the property. Exceeded our expectations. Would come back in a heart beat 💜 

Kyla, South Africa: Camphor Cabin

     

 We were fortunate enough to hole up at Organic Origins amidst a magical Hogsback snow storm ❄ our cosy log cabin was the idyllic setting for watching the snow flakes swirl through the pines as we played scrabble in front of the fire. Highlights from our stay include Jaco's freshly baked ciabatta bread and generous basket of delectable home made goodies, hot soaks by candle light in the tub, sitting on our own private deck watching Loeries and other birds basking in the sun after the snow and a forest walk with the property's lovable hounds as our guides. We HIGHLY recommend this as one of the best places to stay in Hogsback! Such lovely hosts and a perfect hideaway for lovers of tranquility and nature 😊
