Misty Mountain Reserve

"This place is an awesome place to unwind and forget about the city life, it nested deep in the forest with awesome garden view and the sea view, you are in the farm surrounded by the calming spirit of animals. One this about the cottages is that they are not well cleaned, the rustic look make you feel at home but there is a difference between rustic and old broken down furniture, the cleaners just tidy up they don't sweep nor use furniture dusters cause you can see old crumbs around the kitchen side, there is spider webs on the ceiling that caught flies and insects long time ago, the wardrobe door is held by piece of tissue to close and has a terrible stench which we couldn't use at all. The worst part is that when the cottages are closed they become stuffy due to their surroundings and wetlands, meaning they constantly needs windows to be opened before guests arrive and use automatic airfreshners to fresh up the rooms. The cottages are beautiful and good value for money but cleaners are making this to be a terrible area to unwind in. Seems the owners are paying more attention to the high end apartments with sea views and the domes cause we got a chance to view the forest dome which was amazing will definitely book for our honeymoon . Great stop for garden route travel, if using a small car the 2.6km gravel road leading to the area maybe problematic. Please look after the cottages cause they history behind them makes you feel connected to the place."

"We had a great home cooked comfort meal. Cottages were really cute. Bit of a fly issue at the beginning, but quickly sorted out. Nice trail walk. Overall - really enjoyed ourselves."

"Unfortunately Safari now and Misty had a break in communication as our booking was not received. We arrived on our wedding night to find that no such booking was recorded. A guest gave up their suite to accomodate us as Misty had no vacancies."

"Food excellent, service very good and the lodge was lovely. Only we stayed there in torrential rain and a force 9 gale so couldn't really appreciated the setting!!"

"Definitely loved the room especially the bath!!! Brekie was lovely but the food at Dinner was outstanding!!! View from deck was oh my word- heavenly & sooo peaceful to watch early morning!!! A weekend was to short & would look at going back for a longer period!!"

"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"

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

"Spacious room, serene view over the sea. The food was exceptional, even the snack pack we took for our day out was imaginative. We would recommend having an evening meal in the restaurant. 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!"

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