It's just the most fabulous family holiday destination. Everyone, young and old, is catered for with incredible service from a dedicated, happy staff. There is nothing quite like a holiday in the beautiful Drakensberg mountains. Thank you to the Cavern Resort Team.

We loved the spacious ambience and the cosy and at the same time modern interior, everything seems chosen with love and taste but not too "chic". We loved the fantastic view and the relaxing loneliness. We ordered breakfast, lunch or barbecue baskets. These were prepared and presented with love and care - and just delicious!!! The Drakensberge are THE hiking resort for small and long hikes. For any issue , Kerry and her husband were available and helpful at any time.

As a solo female traveller, this was the perfect destination to unplug from the buzz of city life. 3.5hrs from Jhb, I chose it because it is safe and the views of the mountains are SPECTACULAR. I was welcomed by Sam upon my arrival and immediately the warmth of the lodge was felt. I am a return guest, and I returned because my first time at this property was absolutely incredible. Coming back was always a question of when, not if. The lodge itself is really well maintained, the cabins are clean and stunning. I really like the hot water provided in the morning for tea/coffee with a rusk. The wood for the fireplace adds a nice touch as well for those cold and rainy nights. A special shoutout to the staff, they were great, I was always greeted with warmth and a smile. The greatest appeal of this place is the location, the hiking trails and the closeness of the mountains, but then there is the food. I was fed so well and so much! All my meals were something to look forward to. I was grateful for the packed lunch on the day I opted to be out walking/hiking at lunchtime. I loved that the dinners were essentially interesting takes on clean, whole foods. The hiking trails offer something for everyone (long and short routes), and I took advantage and walked/hiked as much as I could. Take a good strong pair of walking/hiking shoes and sunscreen. Overall, I cannot recommend this place enough, whether for a solo traveller, a couple or a family/group. Greenfire is like no other! Nature at its BEST.

Your go carts were broken.

Your go carts were broken. Only one was working and we couldn't race each other. No activities were taking place. No pony rides for small kids. No electric blankets Wood was super expensive. You only had facilities operating at a particular time zipline, go cart and horse riding. This should be open throughout the day. Your shop is far away at the entrance. Anytime we needed anything we had to drive. Shop should be near reception. No shower in the main bedroom. Absolutely inconvenient. I will never recommend this place to anyone. It's deteriorating with their facilities. My toilet was not cleaned during my stay. My room bin was not emptied. Very bad value for money. Will write a review on hello peter

The scenery is just magnificent, the drive to the resort is short from JHB and very scenic, the roads are good and safe. Little Switzerland lends itself to a relaxing vibe from the minute that you drive off the main road into the resort.

We really liked the fact that the staff was mostly friendly and accommodating. The chef managed to accommodate our specific dietary requirements on short notice and the result was really good. They had fires going in the living area and lit the fire in the restaurant even though we were the only people there at that time.

The room's view of the mountains was excellent.

The room's view of the mountains was excellent. Food was so good. Drinks were pricey, and dartboards needs to be replaced. But that's literally the only negative I can give the resort. It's really a lovely place and remember to ask for a room with a view!
