The locals enjoy nothing better than escaping the mayhem of bustling Johannesburg and spending a weekend in the country. And, lucky for them, it takes just over 20 minutes to get out of the city to rustic Muldersdrift, just 25km away, which offers a selection of restful retreats. One that is very popular with both locals and tourists alike is Misty Hills Country Hotel & Spa, a charming stone and thatched hotel overlooking the scenic Kromdraai Valley. Not only does the hotel boast an enviably restful setting, but it’s also home to the Spa in the Country, an African sanctuary where guests are pampered to perfection with a selection of body and beauty treatments.
The retreat is also completely green – gardens are planted with indigenous plants and trees to create water-wise and environmentally friendly surrounds. Cascading water features and abundant bird life add to the charm of this country setting. Misty Hills is also great for familes, with two swimming pools, a fully equipped gym, private lounge, games room and kids restaurant. Next door is the famous Carnivore Restaurant, where you can savour every kind of meat you can imagine (including crocodile!) served South African style –roasted and carved off the bone – delicious! Misty Hills is extremely reasonable, although they do charge a high season surcharge over the World Cup.
Guests do enjoy a 20% discount at the Carnivore Restaurant and at the spa for any second treatment. To book, call 011 950 6000 or visit recreationafrica.co.za.
