Location is fabulous as its in the mountains. Has lovely gardens Menu for food was good
No TV in room and bed a little on the hard side
Le cadre et les marches, la cuisine variée et savoureuse le confort de la chambre et les activités proposées. Le jardin est très beau mais plusieurs espèces d'oiseaux manquaient à l'appel
Pas de wifi dans la chambre Peu d'informations sur les marches et les excursions dans les environs
Prachtige ligging, ruime kamers, goede keuken. Prima uitvalsbasis voor mooie wandelingen.

הנוף מדהים ביופיו! חוויה של פעם בחיים. היינו זוג מומלץ גם למשפחות עם ילדים, אפשר לבלות שם מספר ימים. החדרים, הריזורט, האנשים האוכל הכל 100%.
הוויפי לא עבד באופן רציף.
I cannot fault anything. It was fantastic. The people working at the Cavern and the venue was lovely. The food was outstanding. Complements to the Chef or Chefs and all their staff. I had a fabulous holiday. Thank you for everything.

It was a beautiful location with amazing views. The rooms were so comfortable and clean and the food was excellent. We loved the short hikes all around the location and the staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly.
Nothing, it was all fantastic.
The peaceful serene place, and all meals were catered for which allowed us to fully rest.
Nothing to do with the place, it was just cold.
Alles eigenlijk, locatie fantastisch, personeel deskundig en vriendelijk, kamers prima en maaltijden geweldig.
Alles top
We had a wonderful stay. Stunning location, and beautifully kept gardens and facilities. Very friendly staff. Great hikes from the hotel into the surrounding escarpement. Meals were also very good; but - for some reason - the kitchen doesn't do breaksfast eggs very well. But that is about the only negative in an otherwise great stay. .
The staff go out of their way to be friendly and helpful. The daily activities and variety of activities are amazing and ensure that there is something for everyone to enjoy. The guides who take you on the daily walks are fantastic.
Location great and staff made it even better
The venue , the mountains
The dinning room is very dated and old fashioned
This was our 8th visit to this magic place. Definitely many happy returns!
Incredible scenic and beautiful resort and spa. The staff were amazing and food outstanding. A wonderful place to hike, relax and refresh. Will definitely return.
Nothing
The food was exceptional. The natural landscape like the fern forest was magical. And I love the fact they had E-bikes that allowed for some incredible adventures in the area and mountains. Brilliant service and fireplace.
My room did not have a view. it would be useful to not offer these or have these reduced in price to compensate for the difference. Signage for the walking and biking trails could be marked better.
I would have liked Wi-Fi in the rooms very limited
Wonderful family centered resort
A very special well cared for place with something for everyone. Inviting superior room with comfortable bed and good quality linen and towels. Enjoyed all the thoughtful extra touches.
Soundproofing between rooms could be improved.
Sehr schönes, gepflegtes Resort mitten in den Drakensbergen. Traumhafter Ausblick von der Terrasse. Super Wandermöglichkeiten. Sehr zu empfehlen sind auch die Reitausflüge.
Stimmung seitens Personal ist für mein Empfinden zu unterkühlt. Sonst gibt es nichts zu beanstanden.
A beautiful remotely located hotel built on the mountainside with many hiking trails in the valley and over the ridge with views to Royal Natal National Park. Three nice meals a day were offered, and the standard room we had was lovely. Staff were helpful.
We found the staff were very helpful, but as friendly as we'd experienced in other nearby establishments, which can sometimes reflect the culture of the business. Tihis is not a complaint about the staff themselves as they were helpful and attentive.

Hi the bacon was not great with the breakfast , seemed a bit tough and bland.
The room had old spilt drink on the side tables , and there was a used tooth pick on the floor in the TV section
Heel fijn om elke dag activiteiten te hebben wandelen en ander activiteiten. Het is ook fijn dat het allemaal inbegrepen is. Ook het eten is geweldig. Goed verzorgd en met veel fantasie. Al ben er meerdere dagen het is altijd een variatie op het menu. We waren er 24 jaar geleden ook geweest maar de standaard was nog steeds even hoog.

Location and beautiful view
Dinner was fine, quantity is a bit low for bigger people 😅
The location is great, very close to the Amphitheater and with very nice hikes starting at the property. There are daily walks organized, very nice horse stables and the horse rides were nice. The food was excellent and the dinners were really very good, each night that we spent there. From the starters to the desserts. This was a real pleasure. The SPA is also set in a very relaxing environment. The staff makes you feel at home and the common areas are very nicely set with a room for reading, a room for games, the cave for drinks etc. It was my preferred place by far in the Drakensberg and we truly relaxed. Thank you Cavern team!
The horse rides should be better organized. I participated for example to an intermediate ride where a beginner who was afraid participated and was even afraid to trot. The person should not have been cleared to participate.
Every time I go, I plan for the next visit. Always a wonderful experience.
Nothing.
The meals were tasty and well presented. There was plenty of variety and vegetarians were catered for.
I can't fault the hotel but some of the guests let their children run riot.
Fantastic Food Excellent location Friendly staff Great family getaway
No TV's in the room No WIFI in the room Limited facilities for teenage children The cave bar is small and gets easily congested - suggest putting a bigger TV in the reception bar to watch sports
I enjoyed the hiking trails and the food
Everything was on par.
Beautiful and spacious room
Amazing family stay, food was brilliant, intimate feel
Cadre exceptionnel. Rapport qualité prix. Toutes les propositions offertes.

Wir finden viele der abgegebeen Bewertungen sehr trefflich und möchten das nicht noch einmal wiederholen.
Eten is fantastisch, de omgeving is prachtig. Je voelt je heel welkom
Very nice, old world charm, excellent service, great food
We’re usually not resort people, but we made an exception here and didn’t regret it at all. The whole place is so well spread out that it never feels crowded. All the walkways, spaces and the food options are fantastic, and the people are just lovely, whether at the activity desk, in the restaurant or Simon at the gate. It was a real pleasure to spend three beautiful days there. There’s so much to do, and the hikes starting right from the resort are absolutely stunning, so you never get bored. The dogs and cats living there are also super friendly and will happily join you for a walk. We’d love to come back.

The location, the hiking routes, the facilities, kids friendly.
Location is perfect, amazing views, rooms are very clean and comfortable. Wine tasting was lovely, great entertainment facilities.
The food was devine but the menu was limited in variety. This could be better ( e.g. full English breakfast) and more options for lunch and dinner. Walls are thin and can hear the neighbours.
Sfeer en binding
The views Room. Just enough space. The staff. The food
You can hear your neighbors 😅 , but it was okay.
The location with guided walks, excellent accommodation, great service. Met some lovely people there.
It was pricey, massage and laundry were not available on Sunday and should be available for a 7 day operation and dinner wasn’t always good. Steak was hard. However, it was overweighed by other factors.
Exceptional location and serene with stunning views. Lovely main building and quality food.
Can only complain about the weather which was not great during our stay
Everything was good. I arrived at about 2.00 PM , just as Lunch service was closing. Check in staff suggested I got my Lunch and then checked in. Nice Touch

This resort is quite special, all the rooms are beautifully furnished and located for Great views across the valleys. They are very comfortable and well designed. The complex itself is very well maintained is excellent quality facilities. The swimming and sun bathing area particularly good, as the tennis courts and Bowling Green.

We spent 2 nights here. We hiked both days. Everything was superb: the facilities, the room, the food and the service. And the area is beautiful, whether you hike or just enjoy the views. If we lived in South Africa, we would come here annually.

Food, helpful staff., clean. Breakfasts and lunch fantastic
WiFi in rooms not just in main building. Limited choice for evening meal for all 3 courses especially if there are dietary requirements.
The stunning location
Attention to detail ie no temporary reception sign and some large paintings were not hanging level
A perfect place to discover norther Drakensberge. A well maintained place full of history. Super friendly staff. Guided hiking tours through the Drakensberge region.

Breakfast was delicious
Enjoyed everything
Great place to relax and unwind. Plenty of activities too to keep busy if you want. Food is incredible. I personally loved that there was a selection of tea and coffee available always on tap.
Peter, Rona, Megan and Leslie were very accommodating and kudos to you'll. Will definitely be back. Thanks
Absolutely loved it!
Lieu magnifique, Nombreuses activités et équipement Restauration excellente et copieuse Bar cosy en sous sol avec cave à vin
Confort et propreté des chambres à ameliorer
The scenery was exquisite, I regretted that i only booked for a weekend, i didn't get to experience the place in its entirety. Generally, it is a great spot for a getaway.
The food left much to be desired, I expected better than what was served but not too bad either. I was also suprised that a full board price only includes meals (without a drink) and hiking, all the other activities (spa, horse riding etc) have to be paid fo at the facility-that was disappointing.
Die Lage ist aussergewöhnlich und trotzdem wird alles geboten, geführte Wanderungen…
Alles, de Cavern is een goed georganiseerde Lodge, op een prachtige locatie, met veel indoor en outdoor faciliteiten.

食事がとても美味しく、夕食は前菜からメインまでそれぞれ選べました。 ガイド付きのハイキングも楽しみました。 また訪れたいです。
