We had a family weekend away at the exceptional Misverstand Boutique Farm Lodge overlooking the beautiful Vredefort Dome, celebrating a 60th birthday. What a weekend, what a magnificent setting and what an experience. David, Lidia and team, including Axl, were exceptional hosts and made us feel at home. Their attention to detail, and the delicious and varied menus exceeded our expectations. David and Lidia embraced our family accommodating all our requests, prior to and during our stay adding their flair, making it special for the birthday celebrations and making sure our stay was memorable. Everything about Misverstand was beyond our expectations. David and Lidia, we will not forget this sensational weekend, thank you for an incredible experience.

We had an amazing break in the Nguni suite for 4 days. The view from the farm lodge is absolutely stunning and the rooms so beautiful. So much attention to detail throughout the farm lodge. All meals were fantastic and expertly prepared, with a great selection of wines and beautiful wine cellar. We went on the sunset game drive and experienced the most gorgeous sunset. Lidia took some amazing photos of us all. Lidia and David were great hosts. We were made to feel so welcome and were really sad to leave!

Hulle het soveel moeite gedoen om ons huweliksherdenking spesiaal te maak. Die fasiliteite, kos en diens was uit die boonste rakke! Die perfekte plek om te ontspan en net af te skakel. Die uitsig is ongelooflik en ongerep!
