    It’s quite cold in the area but the property does ensure we have enough heating in the room. I did not like the menu , the first night I ordered a gourmet burger which was not fully cooked. I was so hungry and only managed to eat the charred bits of the burger .

    The tents are quite unique, beautiful view of the ocean and the forest

    Nothing!

    It was something completely “different” from a normal weekend away! It was out of this world luxurious glamping, with beautiful views, incredibly private, romantic and relaxation at its best. The staff were amazing, the spa was lovely and I highly recommend the braai pack & the picnic pack to savour back at the cube!

    We definitely needed more light down the stairs - I was careful but slipped and fell because I misjudged what I thought was still walk way to stairs. The his and hers shower could also use fixing because the water stream was not evenly distributed but it wasn’t a bother :)

    We had ample privacy . The grounds are kept clean.

    It seemed quite gimmicky to us, with little social media signs posted throughout, so maybe it just wasn't totally our thing. Some stuff didn't seem entirely well thought out - like the open plan toilet. (literally in the same room as the bed and kitchen with a small partition -eek). We wanted to have dinner at the restaurant but were convinced to purchase a braii pack and cook ourselves since we has spent the money for the evening, which made sense. Unfortunately, the gas bbq only worked on half of one side and i ended up spending way more energy than I wanted on the meal. We then has to move the table from outside to inside to eat, as there is nowhere to dine indoors in the cold. Would have preferred a quick meal at the restaurant i think. Especially since the breakfast service was so lovely! We also tried to run the double baths to enjoy the outdoors and stars and could only fill each bath up about 30% of the way before the hot water ran out. A bunch of little things, but when you pay $$, you expect the execution to be 100%.

    A fabulous location, incredibly friendly, lovely staff and a very interesting accomodation. Heating worked well, and electric blankets appreciated as it was very cold. Breakfast was delicious, homemade muffins, fresh orange juice and great eggs.

    Our stay at Misty Mountain was incredible!! We stayed in the stargazing cube and were in heaven! Watching the stars as we lay in bed was beyond amazing! The staff are incredible and the food is delicious! We were made to feel extra special from the moment we arrived. It is pricey but worth every penny! We felt like royalty! Thank you!

    Very small leak in the room but not in a critical area and only with heavy rain. Staff were quick to address this.

    Such a unique setting. Was lucky enough to have clear weather to be able to see the stars with a dramatic lighting storm in the distance over the ocean. An unforgettable stay.

    We loved our stay but it was raining and there were a few tiny leaking spots on the roof.

    Such a special place hidden in the jungle with ocean views and monkeys in the trees! Felt really private, a place to unwind. You can order food and have it at your place, very friendly staff with helpful advices. Very smart interior/ decorations with a heated bed, air condtion/ heater, water/coffee , bubble Bath etc.

    The day we left, it was pouring rain, and the unit were leaking in many of the corners, and some of our stuff got wet.

    The weather was perfect, we booked only for one night, we were very fortunate. The views were amazing. We loved the bed that wheels you out, and you can lay in utter comfort watching the stars. Everything was a novelty. It was a great adventure .

    The promised hot tub had been replaced by two baths. Cold food at breakfast.

    The concept is brilliant and the views of the forest , sea and stars are amazing! The bed which slides out of the cube on to the deck is incredible . The venue could be world class with a few improvements such as the pool area which is very worn out and the food at the resultant which was not what one would am expect for the price of staying here (cold food at breakfast and cappuccinos using boxes milk in a location surrounded by dairies). And whilst the staff are all lovely, their response time to requests was also a little slow. For the price we expected more. Having said that we would probably have still paid for the experience.
