SILVER MIST RESORT A Versatile Holiday Choice

Picture this: the soft and mysterious mist of an autumn morning in the Magoebaskloof mountains, the cool air wrapping around you as you step outside your chalet at Silver Mist Resort. The valley is tranquil, the birds are just starting their songs and the mountains loom in the distance. This is a place where the pace slows and the family can fully immerse themselves in the peaceful surroundings and reconnect with nature.

Silver Mist Resort offers a variety of accommodation options, with 13 chalets of which seven are located on the bank of the dam and the recently renovated supreme four- or five-sleeper chalets with two rooms and ensuite bathrooms. General Manager, Matthew Moore says, ‘whether it is the lakeside chalets with fireplaces, the supreme chalets with fireplaces and air conditioners, the tented camps or regular campsites and caravan sites, we have accommodation to suit all tastes.

The chalets are perfect for families, providing warmth and comfort during the cooler autumn evenings. For those looking for a more rustic experience, the tented camps, regular campsites and caravan sites offer a closer connection to the land, with all the essentials including good, clean ablutions provided for a simple, relaxed stay.’

The mornings are peaceful and picturesque. Mist rises off the dams, and the water lilies catch the first light of the day, their leaves glistening with dew. The three well-stocked bass dams are perfect for a morning of fishing, whether you are a seasoned angler or enthusiastic beginner. The calm of the water and the surrounding scenery create a tranquil environment for a few quiet hours at the water.

If you are ready to explore, Silver Mist has hiking trails that wind through the mountains, offering stunning views over the valley below. The cool autumn air is invigorating, and the scenery makes every step worth it. Take a break along the way, unpack a picnic basket and enjoy the peace of nature with the whole family.

For a more adventurous experience, the guided horseback riding trails let you explore the farm and get close to a variety of game. As you ride through the landscape, you might spot Rafiqi the friendly zebra or wildebeest, impala, bushbuck, waterbuck and a variety of other animals wandering by. It is an experience that the whole family can enjoy, with the gentle rhythm of the horses and the beauty of the mountains surrounding you.

For something a little different, try the treetop zipline adventure. Starting high in the pines, you will glide through the trees and take in the mountain views from a completely new perspective. It is a thrilling but safe activity that adds a bit of excitement to your time at the resort.

The resort also has a small venue at the horse arena which can accommodate up to 80 people for corporate meetings, weddings, anniversaries or birthday celebrations. The surrounding forests, Arabian horses, Alpacas and Macaws make for perfect photography.

Whether you’re visiting for some quiet downtime, an active family getaway or corporate event,  Silver Mist Resort offers a variety of activities to enjoy together. From fishing and hiking to horseback riding and ziplining, there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy the beauty of the mountains at this resort.
