Hi,

 

Going to Misty Valley Lodge near Machadadorp / Waterval Boven this December. Has anybody been there? What can I expect in terms of accomodation ? And riding?

 

Thanks!

Haven't been there but drive past a lot. Riding in that area looks to be quite nice with all the hills.

 

It is on my to do list for 2011, probably around April / May.

The place is fantastic, accommodation and facilities are very good. The riding is very good with a number of trails and options. There was a review in the Tread magazine earlier this year. The guys are fully committed to MTB and there is a big race planned for Misty Valley Lodge in October 2011 so get a sneak preview of the routes.

Heard good things about the place from mtb'ing friend that have been there.

Anybody been there???

I stayed there for a long weekend in August. Had a great time, the accommodation is comfortable and clean, food was good, nice bar with a great big fireplace was really cosy at night.

 

The MTB trails were in development, I rode the Stonehenge trail, it's not a very long lap (about 9km's if memory serves me), the bit around the rocks is very cool, with some little bridges over the rocks and past the dams. There were some big plans, so would be interesting to see how it has developed.

 

Some options to ride to Boven too, though the climb back is quite hectic...

 

The owners daughters ride for the Ghost team, so they now a thing or 2 about MTB'ing, I do feel this place has the potential to turn into an awesome MTB destination.
