Misty Mountain Reserve

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.

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 accommodation and beautiful setting. Will definitely return.
