Misty Hills Country Hotel, Conference Centre & Spa

Great, up-standard service and friendly South African hospitality. An absolute recommended place where a South African be proud to host any International group. PS - we are local and this was great- very proud of this Hotel and the people that naturally did their absolute best to host us.

The property is not maintained at all, the pool’s water is filthy and definitely not good for swimming. The service was absolutely shocking, seeing that the room had no aircon we asked for a fan, hours later a broken fan that is disgustingly filthy came, many hours later we eventualy got move into another room. The restaurant is not all open as advertised, and their main restaurant’s food was overcooked and really not any good. Was a very dissappiting experience and a big waste of money. Sadly, this was for our anniversary.

Misty Hills Country Hotel is a wonderful place to stay. The thatched-roof bungalows are spacious with lovely interior décor and furniture, and are laid out along many winding brick paths in a lush tropical setting with flowers, shrubs, and trees, some with botanical labels on them. Along the paths are many splendid African art carvings, statues, small flowing brooks, ponds, and beautiful scenic views. The grounds have been meticulously planned and laid out, as have the rooms and buildings on the many acres in this resort. Each room, dining area, meeting room, and the reception area are adorned with African art—sculptures, paintings, and historic artefacts/memorabilia, with windows that look out in to the tropical gardens and trees. The service is first class. The accompanying huge breakfast buffet has dozens of choices of fresh fruit, warm and cold meats, special dishes, cheeses, cereals, and pastries, with several people ready to cook any personal preference you may have, as well as table service in the large dining hall with its African motif surrounding you. Of course, the world-renowned Carnivore restaurant is on the Misty Hills grounds and is a real treat for those who enjoy a meal of game in a festive setting with meat delivered to your table on large skewers. There is also a nice dining room with a good lunch and dinner menu adjacent to the reception area. In every way, this hotel is great and a wonderful experience; we’re from Canada and have returned every time we’re in the Johannesburg area.
