Every time we have visited Hogsback, Maylodge has been a first choice. Such lovely hosts, beautiful grounds, clean properties and a welcoming community. Taryn is also exceptional!

Stunning gardens, central location. Great to be able to walk from your front door to incredible waterfalls. Attentive host who went above and beyond to help.

Beautiful scenery in the mountains, perfect gardens for a family picnic and outside games. Host went an extra mile to make us comfortable. Would definitely visit again.
