Silver Mist Resort

Lovely getaway nestled in the forest. Woke up to a layer of mist over the lake which cleared later on and caught some nice size bass.
The horse riding  was wonderful , we explored the mountains on horseback and saw a variety of game.
Would definitely recommend for a weekend getaway.

Stopped here on our way back from Kruger and found a gem, close enough to JHB for a great long weekend getaway
Variety of accommodation available- chalets, permanent tents and camping - we stayed in a chalet. Spotlessly clean, comfortably furnished and everything we needed in a well laid out kitchen
Lovely fireplace with plenty of wood laid out ready to use 
Outside braai also well stocked with wood

Pleasant area to walk around, front chalets and tents are onto the water where fishing takes place(catch and release) 

Stables are clean and horses well cared for- riding available 
Parrots in a huge aviary are chatty and entertaining 
Goats amble around 

Will definitely be back!


After driving 6,000km over three weeks this place was my sanctuary. We had initially booked to stay for 2 nights and extended to 5 nights due to the incredible surroundings, remarkable chalet and wonderful staff (Sipho, Rob, Steve, Wisdom, etc), all went above and beyond to ensure our stay was pleasant. The kitchen is well equipped and the distance between each chalet ensures adequate privacy and feels immersed in nature. No amount of pictures or words can do this place justice

this is a unique place for peace and tranquillity lovers.yo can spend your day in the mist drowsing away and screaming the blues in this wonderful peace the lord has cgreate..a lovely place for you and your lover .a tranquil misty haven

What a beautiful place for horse riding. It has the most stunning trails and views. You ride through a dense pine forest, where you expect fairies and other magical Disney creatures to come out and play, and then you get to the open plains where Wildebeest, Nguni cattle and various Buck species show the essence of the African spirit.

Plenty of space for trotting, cantering and even galloping. Different trails suited for different level of riding.

I booked a glamping tent at silvermist for a night.
I was surprised, when I arrived, to see that many people. I was expecting a more remote place...
Some of the tents were located right on the edge of the dam - perfect location. Mine was more at the top. Pick the right one when you book...
I had a long walk on the property the following day. I was amazed by the kiwi orchard... The first time I saw that...

Lovely weekend getaway

misty paradice

We stayed for two nights on our way to Pafuri, Kruger and it was a good location to explore Haenertsburg and surrounding area. Accomodation was well priced, neat, clean and seemingly recently renovated inside however the towels and bedding were tired and some of the appliances did not work properly. The unit also smelled of woodfired smoke from the indoor fireplace but all-in-all we will consider staying there again. 

Good location, clean, well priced

We stayed for nights on a midweek break. Disappointingly the horse riding was only offered on the weekends - this was not stated anywhere on the website or advised when booking. We would’ve definitely taken this into account when booking. 
There was also petting zoo noted on the website, however this was nowhere to be found.
Upon enquiry I was advised that this is still forthcoming. In my view that is misrepresented on the website. 
Be careful of the tiles used on the bbq/Braai area in the chalets. These get extremely slippery when wet. 
The area also experiences regular power cuts, although no fault of Silvermist. Only 2 candles are provided for the extended period spent with no electricity. 

Our interaction with Rob - the farm manager was wonderful. The farm is extremely peaceful and relaxing. The horses are beautiful. The hike in the pine forest up to the plantations was wonderful. 

With a little more effort this place can certainly be a wonderful must visit resort. 

Flattered to Decieve

This resort is what you make off it.It has a brilliant location ,comfy but a bit dated  chalets,self catering facilities including microwave,fridge oven,daily housekeeping service ,a small murky looking dam/water feature overlooking the chalets,A beautiful forest sweeping through the mountains and the horses ofcourse.It can be a let down if you arrive with expectations of creature comforts.network of the phone can be very poor,DSTV doesnt work,No security guards at the gate at night. if that is what you looking for  rather book into a hotel. but on the other hand if you can have an open mind and have a good time this place has lots to offer.

Rob the manager upgraded us to the superior chalets as we were not impressed by the rooms we had booked.He was there to help us whenever we had a query.Rob deserves a 5 stars.The housekeeping lady christine was very friendly and did the rooms during our stay so im not sure about the previous comments of room not being cleaned.Jimmy the horse guide was very informative and friendly.The horse riding with my kids was fun and we had a great time with jimmy giving us tips and lessons .Haenertsburg is at the door step of the resort for restaurants and supermarkets. So location is tops.

On the whole it was a refreshing break.Will I go back again?yes I definitely will.

Refreshing Family Break

After painfully discovering that our original accommodation could only be accessed by 4x4, we were desperately looking for accommodation and found Silver Mist. Rob, the manager, was very friendly and helpful and our on the spot booking was finally confirmed in an hour after we visited the property. 
The chalet (no.7)itself had tired looking dark interiors, dusty smelling furniture and a mouldy bathroom. But we stayed as it either this or driving back to Joburg. 
Rob was always willing to help when we needed something. 
We stayed on the 22nd and 23rd of February. Woke up early morning on the 24th to find 3 of our Samsung Galaxy phones missing from the charging station by the window. The window was wide open and the phones were stolen. Luckily nothing else was stolen. 
We informed Rob, who reported it to the police and also advised that the chalet adjacent to us was also robbed, their cameras, phones, laptops, etc. Were stolen.
We got a police case number, but are unable to get any form of compensation from Silver Mist. Insurance only covers goods stolen from our own property, so this turned out to be a very expensive holiday.
I rate 2 for the accommodation, 4 for Rob's helpfulness and 0 for the total lack of security and unwillingness to take responsibilty.
