MISTY HILLS COUNTRY HOTEL, CONFERENCE CENTRE & SPA CELEBRATES THE OPENING OF THEIR NEW EXHIBITION CENTRE

Misty Hills Country Hotel, Conference Centre & Spa celebrated the opening of their new exhibition centre on Thursday, 18th March 2010, with an official launch party for valued guests of the hospitality conference and exhibition industries.

Recreation Africa Executive Director, Adele Forsyth, welcomed guests before handing over the stage to talented singing duo, Alexandra and Isabella Snyman, who wowed the audience with vocal renditions of both classic and contemporary song. This was followed by an address from Recreation Africa Executive Chairman, Robert Forsyth, after which a champagne finger lunch was served.

Group Operations Manager, Gilbert Hickman, and the Recreation Africa sales team were on hand to answer questions and show off the 1000 square meter air-conditioned exhibition centre facilities. Ideally suited for small to medium sized events, the centre comfortably accommodates 55 exhibitor stands of 3 x 3 and 3 x 2 square meters, in versatile configurations. Recycled from the original hotel workshop, the exhibition centre is part of a 30 million rand hotel upgrade ahead of the World Cup and in response to local corporate demand for combined exhibition and conference facilities.

    The Recreation Africa group is actively involved in wetland rehabilitation at the farm Boekenhoutfontein in the North-west Province. The results so far have been amazing. The group is also involved in a pygmy hippo breeding programme which is co-sponsored by Hippo.co.za. We have a real commitment to wildlife and its sustainable use. This we promote through breeding programmes, as well as the Carnivore Gourmet Meat company which specialises in the use of game meat. We are actively involved in the planting and propagating indigenous trees. We have a "Miracle Tree" project. The group has a firm commitment to recycling and composting. Where possible we have recycled buildings and we use local materials to lessen carbon footprint. We also make use of invasive trees to make furniture and to build with. The group has launched its own organic farming programme - the produce will be used in our hotels and restaurants, as well as to feed our own animals. We produce free range cattle and sheep, and have a piggery. We are also currently working on a programme to produce our own Tilapia (indigenous table fish)

    Misty Hills was visited by members of the Greening Hotels in South Africa project, and this is what they had to say about our efforts -

    From Carolina de Figueiredo, member of the Greening Hotels in South Africa project:

    “I recently visited Misty Hills Country Hotel as part of a 'Greening Hotels in South Africa' project, funded by the UK Department of Environmental Affairs, to assess the efforts they making towards becoming a more sustainable and green accommodation, and to suggest where improvements can be made and new interventions brought in.

    During my visit to Misty Hills, I was able to walk through the whole property, viewing both the exterior, grounds and interior of the property.

    The efforts Misty Hills is showing towards becoming more 'green' are commendable. For example, sourcing 50% of their water from their own dam, efficient use of lighting and energy throughout the property, reduction of plastic bottles, green towel and linen change programmes, grey water re-use and use of mostly indigenous plants throughout the property.

    Besides what they are already undertaking, my visit demonstrated that they are always looking to improve and are on the right path to continual greening.”
