Mist of Gold

Mist of Gold is a small, owner-run set of log cabins in a garden in Hoedspruit, a lowveld town in Limpopo below the Drakensberg escarpment. It is a no-fuss overnight base rather than a safari lodge: you sleep here and drive out to the Kruger or the Blyde River Canyon during the day.

What to expect

The log cabins sit in a quiet garden, each with air-conditioning, a fridge and satellite TV, and towels and bedding are supplied. Some cabins are self-catering with small kitchenettes. Outside there is a swimming pool and a braai area, and the units are serviced daily. The hosts live on site.

Practical details

• Location: Giraffe Crescent area, Hoedspruit, Limpopo.
• Capacity: seven log cabins, up to 14 guests.
• No children.
• Check-in 2pm to 7pm, check-out by 10am.
• Wi-Fi, laundry service and secure parking.

Good to know

Only the self-catering cabins have kitchenettes, so ask for one when booking if you plan to cook. Guests reach the cabins from the street rather than through the owners’ house, so arrivals are low-key. Hoedspruit’s shops and restaurants are close by for meals out.
