I had a lovely stay at this resort, enjoying the beautiful natural setting and relaxing family-friendly environment. The rooms are rustic yet comfortable, and there are plenty of activities available. However, I felt that the dining experiences were rushed at times, which took away from the overall ease of the stay. The breakfast start time was also a bit late for those eager to get an early start on outdoor activities.

The Cavern has a stunning location with breathtaking views and a plethora of outdoor activities, making it perfect for families. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and I appreciated the warm hospitality from the staff. However, the dining experience felt rushed at times, which detracted from the overall experience, especially during breakfast. While it's a fantastic place to unwind, it would benefit from a more relaxed dining pace.

The rooms were spacious and comfortable, which suited us as we traveled with little ones.

My stay at The Cavern was truly memorable, thanks in large part to the stunning location in the Drakensberg Mountains and the excellent service from the staff. The rooms were beautifully designed and spotlessly clean, making for a very comfortable experience. However, I did find the dining experience to be a bit rushed, especially during breakfast and dinner, which detracted from the overall relaxation I sought during my stay.
