"We were warmly welcomed by the staff, who were most accommodating and helpful. We were provided with welcome cocktails and made to feel quite 'at home' by everyone. We stayed in the farm cottages which are tastefully decorated and have everything that one needs and are very comfortable. We were allowed full use of the lodge facilities such as the pub and pool and loved the 'foot golf'. Misty Mountain was a wonderful treat and I will definitely stay there again "


"One night stop over"

(Australia) Kerry-Leigh Cartwright

"This is the most beautiful venue in an even more beautiful setting. Every detail was taken in to account & I would definitely be back"

The staff were lovely. The shower was a little eccentric, but that's not surprising in such a remote venue. Best to arrive in daylight as the chalets are at the end of a long gravel road."

"It all started with the warm, welcoming smiles from the staff. We were given complimentary drinks before being shown to our room. We stayed in The Swan room (self catering). We then set out on our first adventure, the David Lane trail. We went a bit further than the trail allowed but we found the most amazing spot right at the top of the mountain. After recovering from the walk we attempted a swim in the pool where the staff brought us towels and pillows to relax on. I could go on forever talking about how wonderful this place was, but I think you should go check it out for yourself!"


"Great Stay"

"The service was great, the views incredible and the rooms fantastic. Much recommended."

"OUR WEEKEND BREAK"

(South Africa) Lidzia Kozakiewicz

"Stay in family chalet"

"We had an absolutely lovely stay in the Sunbird family chalet, and saw loads of whales. The weather was beautiful, the chalet was very comfortable, the weather was magnificent and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!"


"Lovely"

(Botswana) Quentin Wessels

"We really enjoyed our stay. The view and the massive green lawns are stunning. We stayed in the honeymoon suite and it had everything we could hope for. The staff are great and friendly, as well as all the meals."


"Awesomeness"

"Awesomely personal service delivered with a smile at all times. The staff were not only super competent but also incredibly polite. We felt right at home since the minute we arrived. Thank you Frank and Rose for hosting us!"

"The unit was really lovely and had all the necessary facilities. The staff were very friendly and helpful. When something went wrong in the unit, it was fixed immediately (Justin the manager was hands on and went out of his way to make things comfortable). The view was to die for. Only real complaint we had was that the bed was extremely squeeky and you could hardly turn and it made a noise. Maybe time for it to be replaced.

Otherwise we enjoyed the stay."

"My companion and I arrived at MMR late in the evening and were greeted like long lost friends, which was quite a welcome after the 6 hour drive from Cape Town, in the driving winter rain!

The staff were friendly and accommodating and the lodges (wood/timber cabins) are well suited to travelers. We stayed in a bed and breakfast option (Doves) but there are lodges set up for self catering with BBQs outside and rudimentary kitchens indoors.

The bathroom in our cabin was well proportioned with a jacuzzi bath and shower. We made full use of the bath to warm up, using piping hot water, after being exposed to the Cape winter cold and rain.

The cabin room holds a kingsize bed made up of two singles which was comfortable enough but slightly too soft for my taste. It was warm and the linen was good quality percale cotton with a warm duvet and plenty of blankets.

The cabins stand on tilts but are perfectly insulated for winter and fitted with heaters for warmth. In summer a ceiling fan is fitted to move air around.

After a fitful nights sleep we were surprised by the wonderful views of the sea from the main bed, having arrived in the dark the previous evening, and views of the forest from the bathroom. The lodge is accessed from the front and rear by purpose built wooden walk ways.

The food in the evening was a hearty meal of both beef roast and chicken ala king, accompanied by salad and followed by a fridge tart. The food was filling and of good quality, given the logistics of getting supplies to the reserve. We had a well-priced white wine with our meal but the reserve offers beers, hard liquor and soft drinks too.

The breakfast in the morning was hot, well cooked and made with fresh ingredients. It was tasty and made to order. I had a soft fried eggs and my companion had poached, which were both as we ordered and from farm fresh eggs. The reserve was a dairy farm in its past existence but still has some cows and animals to provide some ingredients and the milk was fresh and creamy as a result.

All in all we had a good stay and will return should the opportunity arise.

To get to the reserve follow the directions from N2 and ignore the Safari.com directions which are listed as a detour but this information is out of date."


"Lovely"

(Mauritius) Dianne Kirkman

"Lovely accommodation and beautiful setting. Will definitely return."


"Amazing time"

(South Africa) Jens Kamp

"We had the most amazing time at the Sunbird Cottage. We were allowed to do our own thing. We had no interference and the staff were very friendly. The scenery and tranquillity of Misty Mountain is unique and we will recommend the place to friends. When in the area, we will certainly return."


"Our stay at Misty Mountain"

(South Africa) Justin thackeray

"We really enjoyed our stay at Misty Mountain. Friendly service, great accommodation and a very relaxing two days. "


"Peaceful and serene"

(South Africa) Jenny Boyd

"It exceeded our expectations. Travelling on the dirt road one does not expect to see and experience the beauty of Misty Mountain Reserve. Will definitely visit again for a longer period. "

"My husband and I stayed in the Honeymoon Chalet for our Anniversary and we could not have asked for a better place to stay. Relaxing, rejuvinating and beautifull. We took a lovely walk through the reserve and did a 16km bike trail through the Tsitsikamma bush and ended up at a Lookout over the Storms river resort. Absolutely stunning. The Fireplace and the Jacuzi bath made our stay extra romantic! Thank you!"

Sleeping in your private wooden chalet, overlooking the ocean with absolutely nothing disturbing you is fantastic.

Highly recommended if you are looking for pure relaxation. The 3 course dinner in the lodge was the overall best dining experience we had during 3 weeks in SA, though it was reasonable priced."

The staff were amazing and really did their best to make us feel comfortable, bringing our dinner to the bedroom with a microwave for later heating was absolutely appreciated and allowed us to have the peace and quiet without having to lift a finger. Thank you so much and know that we will definitely stay longer. Definitely the most romantic getaway accommodation in the Garden Route!
