Misty Mountain Reserve  

Perched in Storms River on the Garden Route, this rugged lodge-reserve serves up 360° views of ocean, indigenous forest and the Tsitsikamma mountains. You're minutes from Garden Route National Park, the Cape Floral Region and the famous Big Tree — perfect for a family-friendly getaway, romantic breakaway or adventure weekend.

Choose from cozy lodges, tented camps and star‑gazing domes for a nature-forward stay with ocean and forest outlooks. The property has 16 guestrooms with refrigerators, flat-screen/satellite TVs, safes, desks and ensuite baths with tubs or showers; daily housekeeping keeps things tidy. A spa center is onsite for low-key pampering and dramatic sunsets are basically part of the room service.
