A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

Planning your stay.

Where is Fantasia at Hogsback?

Find us at 32 Main Road, Hogsback, 5721, Eastern Cape, South Africa. Our two cottages share the Fantasia grounds, with a private interior in each cottage.

Does a booking include both cottages?

No. The Lantern and Grace Cottage are booked separately. Your reservation covers only the cottage you select. If you would like to stay in both cottages, please enquire about availability for each.

Which cottage is right for our group?

The Lantern has one king bedroom for two guests. Grace Cottage has three bedrooms for up to six: one king, one queen and two single beds.

Are both cottages self-catering?

Yes. Each cottage has its own kitchen and two bathrooms: one en-suite with a bath, toilet and basin, plus a separate shower, toilet and basin.

What is the minimum stay?

Both cottages have a two-night minimum. We leave one clear night between stays for cleaning, so same-day checkout and check-in are not available.

Does an enquiry reserve our dates?

An enquiry does not reserve dates. We will confirm availability, rates and booking conditions with you before you commit to a stay.
