Misty Hills Country Hotel

The hotel is situated a long drive from Johannesburg and Pretoria but is worth the trouble. It is set in its own substantial grounds. The public areas are set in separate buildings in lush, beautifully-maintained vegetation - it feels more jungle than gardens. The room we had was a good size; its only problem was that it was quite dark because of the lush vegetation surrounding it. Most rooms looked much more light and open. The Carnivore restaurant on site is a must for dinner. Cooked meats on Masai swords are brought to the table and carved to order. The breakfast buffet is fresh and ample, with eggs cooked to order. We have used the restauant before, but not stayed in the hotel. We would say that it is great for a night or two to explore the local area, but not as a base for visiting Johannesburg or Pretoria. We will be staying again.

Excellent service. Personnel are very friendly and helpfull. The gardens are well maintained and is beautiful. Food is excellent and tasteful. Resturants well organised and clean. Room 203. I think your cupboard under the TV is unstable and old. TV connections not properly done and therefore bad TV picture(signal). Spider webs should be removed before quests move in. Pillows are to flat. Proposal: Keep certain amount of prefered drinks in fridge for quests. This can be done when they arrive. According to a list, quests can mark the consumed items and pay the following day. Thus no need for a lot of room service requests after hours. Keep a ice machine for self service at reception. Also a sweets,chips and cool drinks machine for self service at reception.

They have every thing you may need with out going any to any other places from a places to read to something a bit more.

Great stay out in the country. Very relaxing way to recharge yourself after hectic tour of SA before long flight home

Parking is 1/2 mile from the room in a dirt field. Resort is in the middle of nowhere. Luckily the nights were cool since "air conditioning" consisted of a 10 inch fan with bad bearings. The bell hop was carrying an Uzi over his shoulder. My wife asked if that was because of the animals. I told her "Yeah, the two legged type!"
