    A must visit location, but you'll have to put up with their food!

    Dinner and breakfast were included in our package. Sadly, the food was below par. For dinner, I was served cold, grainy soup for my starter that seemed pre-cooked, which is totally understandable, but it was neither heated thoroughly nor turned into a soup consistency, same for the sauce for the main, and the chocolate moose was the worst - supermarkets have vastly better ones readily available on their shelves! For my breakfast, the poached eggs tasted exclusively of vinegar. I understand that vinegar is added to the water to poach eggs and slight acidity may be acceptable, but not so much as to mask any taste of egg and set one up for acid reflux for the entire day. Sadly, my experience did not bode well for the kitchen, except for the lunch that was not included in the package and served piping hot (so not pre-cooked) on a cold day and thoroughly enjoyable!

    An exceptional geological location that is a must to visit and experience; we were lucky enough to stay in one of their unique 'cave' rooms, an experience I would endorse. The staff is attentive, friendly, and professional. They welcomed us warmly, and even the housekeeping visited the room at night to ensure all was OK! The night sky is mesmerizing, and the daytime views are delightful to wake up to. A quiet and serene location that is perfect for a getaway!

    The rooms are a bit claustrophobic, with not much even head space. I understand the proposal, but since those rooms were not really scouted on the rock, there is not much reason for them to be so low! The last 15km to get there is also very sandy, what makes a motorcycle arrival a bit painful, since you are coming tired from a long day ride. Didn’t see much reason for the price they charge. Too expensive that doesn’t justify with what you get!

    The view is great! I think is the best about the place. The staff amazing as usual in South Africa, they never disappoint. The restaurant is also very good, great diner, great breakfast!

    5 ***** all the way. What a weekend away in the Cederberg! From the moment we arrived at the main gate of the reserve, checking in at reception, been escorted to our accommodation, massages, 'mouth watering' supper and breakfast, 4x4 self drive, <star gazing which was postponed due to the full moon> and more - every facet of the journey was 5 stars which is seldom experienced in our beloved country. Well done Team Kagga Kamma <it is understandable why the establishment was awarded the best weekend stay in the Western Cape>.

    The property is VERY remote and it took us 2 hours to drive on a dirt road to get to the accommodation - I think this should be more clear from the property, as you will need a 4X4 or larger car to get there (could potentially damage rental cars tires etc)

    This property is one of a kind. It was an amazing experience and the staff was great! Definitely worth the trip!

    Cannot recommend enough!

    The only thing I would change is chairs in the boma as they feel a little tired and some were a little worn. It's a shame you can see cars in the carpark from some of the caves, and air conditioning units at the back of other caves from others, but there's not much you can do about that! Everything else is beyond perfect - we love this place so much.

    This is an absolutely incredible, unique experience. The drive to Kagga Kamma takes a while and the road, while completely passable even in a small car, does take a lot of time!! The scenery on the way there though is stunning and there are so many photo opportunities. The view from the caves/huts is equally amazing. The food is great, the customer service is exemplary, the rooms are clean and have everything you need. Eating dinner around the fire was really atmospheric, and the stargazing tour was brilliant.

    The staff did not listen to our requests and we had two issues which they forgot to do. The gas geyser did not work so we had cold showers.

    We stayed at the open air suite which is absolutely out of this world. The facilities are exceptional and the layout of the site with a natural rockpool is a win. Peace and tranquility personified.
