Rita’s place was truely tranquil and a peaceful hideaway. It took us a few days to unwind and being in magical Misty Vale made that process possible. The place has all the basics you need and the breakfast starter items were tasty, fresh and local. Rita provides an amazingly detailed guide about places to visit and local attractions. Ellenborough Falls were exceptional, as described. Equal parts spectacular and haunting. We wanted a disconnection from modernity and a reconnection with nature. If that’s what you are seeking this is the stay to book. The compositing toilet was completely inoffensive and easy to manage, if that is a cause for reservations. The rainwater that supplies the cabin is clean and gentle. If you are planning a longer stay, save yourself the hassle and do a shop on your way. Rita is great at communication without being intrusive. Marco the cat is also a welcoming resident. Looking for a private escape? Don’t hesitate to visit Misty Vale. Thank you.
