As jy wil rus en ontspan van al die gejaag, is hierdie 'n lekker bederfplek!

Van dat jy daar aankom totdat jy daar weggaan, is dit 'n vakansie-ervaring. Personeel baie vriendelik en behulpsaam, geriewe puik, die etes baie smaakvol en die kamer netjies en ruim. (Alhoewel die grasdak baie help, mag 'n lugversorger op 'n baie warm dag handiger wees as die dakwaaier.) Ons het goed in die badkamer vergeet en is gekontak om ons te laat weet dat dit by ontvangs was - dit kon net so wel "verdwyn" het. Gelukkig was ons nog by die spa en kon dit later optel.

If you want to rest and relax from all the hustle and bustle, this is a nice pampering place!

From the time you arrive until you leave, it's a vacation experience. Staff very friendly and helpful, facilities excellent, the meals very tasty and the room neat and spacious. (Although the thatched roof helps a lot, on a very hot day an air conditioner might be more handy than the roof fan.) We forgot stuff in the bathroom and were contacted to let us know it was at reception - it just might "disappeared". Luckily we were still at the spa and could pick it up later.

Rustige wegbreeknaweek.

Het die kort staproetes geniet en natuurlik was die etes en teetyd 'n bederf.

The Cavern was a great choice for my 40th birthday celebration, I really enjoyed my stay. Beautiful location, serene, calm space with divine food, hiking trails and a great spa.

All I can say is wow, the Cavern exceeded my expectations, the location was amazing, I love that it feels remote but you are provided with all the luxuries at the same time. I simply loved my stay there, the service provided was exceptional. I have food intolerances and I really appreciate the very kind chef preparing me a special plate. My birthday in the dining area was also made special with the singing, decorated table and menu provided, I really felt special. The massage at the forest retreat was also amazing thanks to our super-talented therapists. Thank you The Cavern Drakensberg Resort & Spa, I hope to be back soon.

Highly recommended stay and cannot wait to return to The Cavern - a peaceful piece of heaven in the Berg.

A family run retreat for the past 80 years who pay attention to service, well-tended facilities and accommodation. A getaway for the bird-enthusiast, mountain cyclist, hiker or for quiet relaxation. The spa treatment in the Fern Forest Retreat was a highlight as was the well-stocked wine cellar. A value for money stay.

Rus vir die siel, pragtige natuurskoon, heerlikste kos en puik diens.

Rus of woel soveel as wat jy wil in hierdie pragtige, grasieuse hotel in die hartjie van die Drakensberge. Personeel is goed opgelei, die diens en kos is puik en die tuine 'n lushof. Verskeie staproetes and ander aktiwiteite word aangebied vir energiekes terwyl die spa heerlike bederfsessies verseker.

Rest for the soul, beautiful scenery, most delicious food and great service.

Rest or roam as much as you like in this beautiful, graceful hotel in the heart of the Drakensberg. Staff are well trained, the service and food are great and the gardens a loop court. Various walking routes and other activities are offered for the energetic while the spa ensures delicious pampering sessions.

Rustige atmosfeer, tog baie om te doen.

Die verblyf was aangenaam en stil. Daar was 'n verskeidenheid staproetes wat verskillende behoeftes kon aanspreek. Die etes was voortreflik. Die aand se vermaak kon elke smaak pas.

Baie lekker, 2de maal hier.

Kamers baie mooi met 'n mooi uitsig. Kos lekker maar nie so goed soos ander bekende hotelle laer af in Drakensberge maar nieteenstaande goeie waarde vir geld. Die kelners kan bietjie meer weet oor ons land want daar is baie toeriste. Snaaks toe 'n Duitser vra wat kudu steak is en aan haar vertel dit is "a bird with red meat".

Very nice, 2nd time here.

Rooms very nice with a nice view. Food nice but not as good as other famous hotels lower down in the Drakensberg but good value for money nonetheless. The waiters can know a little more about our country because there are many tourists. Funny when a German asked what kudu steak was and told her it was "a bird with red meat".

Fantastiese verblyf met uitstekende kos. Absoluut waarde vir geld gekry.

Pragtige ligging met uitsonderlike diens en karakter. Personeel gaan uit hul pad om jou gemaklik te maak. Daar is soveel aktiwiteite, doendinge en rusplekke op die perseel. Ideaal vir alleenlopers, paartjies, groepe vriende en gesinne met kinders van alle ouderdomme. Sal beslis weer The Cavern Drakensberg Resort & Spa besoek en aanbeveel.

Ons sal die plek beslis aanbeveel!

Die standaard kamer was netjies en baie gerieflik. Ons kon ongelukkig nie aan enige aktiwiteite deelneem nie, maar sal beslis The Cavern aanbeveel vir families met kinders en sonder kinders. Die etes is baie lekker en van hoogstaande gehalte. Die diens uitstekend! Wens ons kon langer bly! Let wel die pad na die oord is baie sleg ...

We would definitely recommend the place!

The standard room was neat and very comfortable. Unfortunately we were unable to participate in any activities, but would definitely recommend The Cavern for families with and without children. The meals are very tasty and of high quality. The service excellent! Wish we could have stayed longer! Note that the road to the resort is very bad...
