MISTY MOUNTAIN RESERVE INTRODUCES NEW STARGAZING ACCOMMODATION

Perfectly positioned, 230m above the rugged Tsitsikamma coastline, Misty Mountain Reserve offers a range of accommodation from ocean view lodges, tented accommodation and the newest and most unique offering is the stargazing accommodation.

Surrounded by nature the stargazing accommodation offers captivating views of the Indian Ocean. Whether lazing on the chill net with a book or soaking in bubbles in the eco-friendly wood-fired hot tub, the domes promise the ultimate relaxation experience. There are three different Dome accommodations on offer, the Ocean Dome, Forest Dome or Pyramid.

The Ocean Dome is a solid see-through stargazing experience, the Pyramid is a solid see-through pyramid nestled in the forest and the newest offering is the upgraded Forest Dome. The Forest Dome which was previously a covered canvas dome is in the process of being upgraded by taking away the canvass dome and replacing it with a solid see-through cube. The best thing about the new Forest Dome is that the bed will be mechanism-controlled by a remote that will allow the bed to be rolled out onto the deck and then back into the room again – this will truly be the best stargazing experience ever.

Each Dome is completely private, with a doorbell that has to rung before staff step foot onto the walkway leading to your dome. An early morning speciality coffee and as birds sing in chorus as the sun rises and filters through the treetops, sound the beginning of a new day and a hearty breakfast in the restaurant. Enjoy a sundowner as the slanting rays of the setting sun light up the horizon from pink to orange. Turn off the lights and be mesmerized by the African night skies; one would feel that you are engulfed in the galaxy. Explore the milky way with the celestial telescope.

Exclusive and private, a must for honeymoon couples or anyone wishing to catch their shooting star.
