The centralised reception, which opened in May 2010, has been repositioned to provide easier access to the hotel's 215 rooms and suites, which sprawl over the 26 hectares of lush countryside property. Designed with group bookings in mind, facilities include a wrap-around service desk for express check-ins and a comfortable, spacious waiting area where guests are invited to relax and enjoy refreshments. Two beautiful copper giraffe sculptures and a magnificent steel door frames the entrance way, creating a warm, rustic ambience.
Making way for the new reception area necessitated the relocation of the Gin Box pub, a favourite watering hole of Misty Hill's patrons. Now firmly established in its new premises, the Gin Box boasts a lively pub atmosphere and both an indoor and outdoor seating area. Serving a wide range of beverages including Misty Hill's legendary Dawas, the pub also has large-screen televisions for sports enthusiasts. Adjacent to the Gin Box is the coffee shop, a brand new addition to the Misty Hill's product offering. This is where caffeine addicts can get their fix, choosing from a wide array of specialty Avanti coffees and a selection of light meals available from 11am to 6pm.
These new additions complement Misty Hill's existing facilities, which include the Summerhouse restaurant, two swimming pools (including a kiddies pool), a well-equipped gym, lounge area, games room and magical children's Peregrine Castle. Also situated on the property is the Misty Hills Spa in the Country, with recently upgraded spa facilities and newly launched Signature Room. Adjacent to Misty Hills is the Carnivore Restaurant, which offers a selection of succulent charcoal-grilled game and domestic meats, skewered onto Massai swords and cooked to perfection over an open fire.
Misty Hills also offers 22 African-themed conference and function venues, including an Exhibition Centre that houses small to medium-sized events.
Misty Hills is located in Muldersdrift, on the threshold of the beautiful Kromdraai valley, a World Heritage site, and is an affiliate of the Warwick International group of hotels.
