Voici un endroit splendide pour se détendre, que ce soit en famille pour partager des instants précieux avec les enfants ou en amoureux, au cœur d'un panorama magnifique. Le personnel est aux petits soins, et les repas sont raffinés et délicieux. Nous avons été ravis par toutes les balades et chemins que nous avons parcourus. Ce fut des moments savoureux, nous reviendrons sans aucun doute.

Had a lovely stay at the cavern. The meals are all included and very good and it was so nice not to have to worry about driving back in the evening. The wine cellar was also excellent! Amazing location and awesome staff (special thanks to sandile for all your help in planning amazing walks). Also fun range of activities, we did a lovely night hike the first night there under very clear skies and saw the milky way in all it's glory. Packed lunches were lovely and meant we could go all day hiking and they have games you can borrow to play in the evening. All in it was a brilliant trip, thank you!

I was last at the Cavern as a schoolboy in 1967, and while the facilities have been massively upgraded since then, it still retains the warm and cosy atrmosphere it had then. The food is superb, as are the various amenities on offer. A lot of thought has gone into the place - loos by the pool, tennis courts and bowling green come to mind. All tastes are catered for, whether you want to walk, ride, try the sports on offer or simply chill out in the various lounges. A gret place to spend a few days!
