We were gifted a two night Cave suite stay at Kagga Kamma. The gravel road access was easy in our little 4x4 Fiat even though a massive storm had blown over just an hour earlier. The Cave suite is comfortable and the hikes are amazing. It was too cold for me to try the swimming pools but both pools did look inviting. The highlight of the whole trip was how incredibly helpful and respectfully attentive all the staff and personnel were. An asset to Kagga Kamma was DJ. He was delightful, knowledgeable and reassuringly competent as Field Guide. The Al a Carte menu has delicious, well priced options for both vegans and meat-eaters. Examples being the sticky pork ribs and novele mushroom pasta. Best EVER! A special thanks to Jean-Marie, Johannes, and Reyna. Their name tags identified them as "Waiters", but all three were competent Maitre 'd's. Kagga Kamma was wonderful, and we intend to go back for more hikes and a few spa treatments.

What an incredible experience! This is a must visit area of our beautiful country, and such a lovely lodge! The staff are great, Gaby in particular went out her way to make everything as wonderful as it could be. The hiking is spectacular. The accomomodation very nice (whilst just falling short of luxury) and the food was lovely.

Uniquely located hotel with cave dwellings and huts. The cave dwellings are not really cave dwellings but creatively made of natural stone and cement They are small inside, but contain everything you need. Furnishings are simple but comfortable. Fine shower and fridge in the room. We took the fullboard package. You do get all meals and drinks included and two activities a day. Taking the car more than twice is not necessary as there is not a lot of wildlife to see. We saw zebra, springbok, ibex and turtles. Nice to do the rock art Tour. That is special to see though. The surroundings are really beautiful. It is well worth the long drive. Hotel and restaurant is four stars, but we would rather give it three stars. Swimming pool is nice, but also simple. Staff are very nice but not very professional. But they do try to make you feel comfortable. A few small things went wrong for us and they were all corrected. In terms of atmosphere, there is room for improvement. Lighting for more atmosphere and, for instance, tablecloths on the table are just a bit more fun. For instance, they only turn on table lamps when someone sits down, but how much more fun would it be if they were all on the moment you walk in. On the terrace, you sometimes have a very bright lamp on your plate or you are sitting completely in the dark. As the owner, I would change this as soon as possible. In our case, stargazing was cancelled twice because of the wind, which was very unfortunate. There is wifi at the restaurant, which is great for disconnecting from the outside world while sitting on a chair by your room with a beautiful view. What would also be a real addition are two sunbeds by your room. Food is simple but good. The menu is very extensive and they are also willing to make adjustments to the dish. Very nice to eat by the fire in the evening. All in all, a pleasant stay but don't expect luxury. However, everything is comfortable.

Absolutely loved this place, we stayed for 2 nights in cave 11. The view was too good and goes best with breakfast in bed. No network, It was a good mental detox. You will find dassies all over the property 😍. All the staff was kind with us but “Abby” was a bit racist when we were dining at the fireplace. During breakfast next day, we asked vegetarian food and explicitly told No Eggs, No Meat, yet she got us French toast(Eggs),We felt it was on purpose. Food menu can be better. Overall would definitely recommend this place to my friends and Family.

I had high hopes with the 4 star hotel rating that not only the nature was beautiful, peacefull and breathtaking but also the whole accommodation. That was definetly not the case. The caves were disappointing, nobody of the personnel has a smile on their faces except the cleaning crew, nobody helps with your luggage and the food is medium at best. The rooms need work and just everything has aged. All good for half the asked price and a 3 star rating but unacceptable and bad value for the advertised experience.
