With spectacular natural views, famous game parks and many exciting family outdoor activities, it’s no wonder why Hazyview is quickly becoming a favourite destination for travellers to the Mpumalanga Lowveld.
Here you will find the award-winning Rissington Inn, set in ten hectares of extensive colourful gardens and indigenous veld, just ten minutes away from the famous Kruger National Park.
Rissington’s hosts will go the extra mile to ensure cheerful, attentive hospitality allowing guests to relax in total freedom and enjoy the peace of the bush, catch some sun by the crystal clear pool or take a stroll down the valley with its spectacular bird life and game sightings.
The establishment is the perfect balance of unobtrusive yet personal service – everything you need and a little more than you expected.
There are twenty individual rooms and suites, all of which are notably comfortable and spacious. Each room has its own character, and are beautifully decorated in a rustic, but stylish way.
All rooms offer privacy, with their own entrances and verandas, and the Garden Suites and Hillside Suites have hammocks or daybeds on theirs. They come equipped with a fridge, air-conditioner, a ceiling fan, a hairdryer and comfortable beds with 100% cotton percale sheets.
Each one has a private en-suite bathroom and the popular garden suites and hillside suites also offer outside showers.
For the perfect end to your day, pay a visit to the Rissington’s restaurant.
They have the most excellent food to enjoy and there menu has some very interesting starters and curry dishes. For instance, I tried their crocodile tail curry which was unbelievable and surprisingly delicious, not to mention their chocolate mousse that I had for dessert; they served this with a steaming mug of hot chocolate with just a tot of vodka, yum!
Rissington Inn’s bar is a great place to enjoy a relaxing drink, discuss the day’s events or kick off your shoes and unwind. The bar has its own veranda with a wonderful view as the sun goes down over the Sabie River Valley. What better place for your evening drink or to wind down after dinner and watch a distant spectacular Lowveld thunderstorm, with either a coffee or cognac in hand.
Rissington Inn will even go the extra mile and arrange a healthy farm breakfast to set you up for the day.
I had actually arranged to go for a game drive in the Kruger National Park early in the morning and the staff at Rissington Inn packed a picnic basket for me – truly top notch service! Golf, tennis, bowls, trout-fishing, hot-air ballooning and horse-riding are all available nearby.
The Rissington Inn has a wide open-plan Library area situated next to the restaurant – perfect for that cup of after dinner coffee. Here, you will find the only television at the establishment for those wanting to catch up on their sports, or soaps, and a library of books on a wide range of topics and in a number of languages.
With sundowners in the bar, a flavoursome dinner in the restaurant and a warm cup of coffee, before retiring to your comfortable room with the sounds of the African nightlife to lull you into a peaceful sleep, how can you not enjoy a night at the Rissington Inn?
