A Day at The Cavern:
After breakfast, you can join in the guided party hiking into the hills for morning tea and to explore the indigenous forests where woodcutters felled yellowwood trees over a hundred years ago. Study bushman paintings, view the unspoilt splendour of one of natures finest mountain creations where the pressures of traffic and time do not exist. Swim in a 'berg stream before retu

rning with heightened appetites for a tasty lunch. There's horse riding, tennis, bowls, volley ball, swimming or trout fishing. Relaxing and enjoying the view from the front lawn on a summer's evening, or sitting in the lounge around a cozy log fire in winter, lead to sundowner conversations with new friends. This unsophisticated, well earned relaxation is what Drakensberg holidays are really about. Our luxurious Forest Retreat nestles in the canopy of The Cavern’s indigenous Fern Forest. Enjoy relaxing treatments with the peaceful sound of the Putterill's Stream cascading below. Esse skincare treatments are available. So while your body enjoys the pampering of our care, let your spirit fly free in our fabulous forest retreat. The Cavern is the "Holiday Resort of Many Happy Returns" where families enjoy their holidays with others who share similar interests; a place where lasting friendships are made!

Escape the Cape this winter. ☀️🏔️

Whether you’re looking for a family getaway, a weekend of hiking, or simply a few days to slow down and recharge, winter is one of the most beautiful times to experience the Berg.

The sunshine is waiting.
