Once we arrived at the resort it was lovely- the road getting to the resort is a nightmare though. We were here a couple of years ago and the road was bad- now its far worse- lots and lots of potholes and hardly any tar left on the road. We stayed in a 3 bedroom en suite room(24A,B and C)The rooms are beautifully decorated and have everything that you can ask for. The kitchen is very well equipped. WIFi worked well. We booked all three rooms (in the one house) and that gave us access to the kitchen, lounge and diningroom as well as the heated splash pool. If you just hire the one bedroom and bathroom you would have to eat all your meals in the restaurant. The restaurant is being refurbished so they have a temp one available.We did not have a meal there so cannot comment on the food. The activities are quite pricey except for the inflatable water park which is very reasonable_ R50 for the whole day. The kids jungle gym and jumping pillow kept them busy for ages. We did a hike the one morning- easy and only about an hour and a half. When we visited a few years back we did a different hike every morning- now they only do hikes a few times a week and its the same route. They give you a daily programme when you check in so you can see what is on every day. The little shop on the premises- is very pricey. The dam is nice to spend some time at as they have a bar and some umbrellas and loungers and a couple of braai's. If you do go to Cayley lodge and want a good meal and some really delicious baked treats pop into The valley bakery- not far down the road- maybe 5km'S Its well worth a visit.

The Drakensberg is truly one of the wonders of the world. The Lodge is well kept and pristine. There was some work being undertaken during our stay and seems they are expanding. During this time, we did not notice any construction noise before 8am and after 5pm. The are enough facilities on the lodge to keep you busy on the site. The Lodge is also well located in the area to explore other sites around the area. The Lodge has parking available - it is allocated per unit. The check in was quick and easy. Take extra few bags of wood with you if you like to light fires. They sell it at the reception. There is parking at your Unit - right outside. We had a self catering unit. The appliances were all new and modern. There was everything we needed. The rooms were all en-suite - well partitioned off - so each family member could retire to their room and get away and relax if they wanted to The cleaning service was fantastic and professional. The towels were great size. The Jacuzzi was an added bonus and great for relaxing after a day of hiking or tourism. Stop off at the Thokozani Tourism Info Centre and ask for advice on planning your trip around the area. They are such lovely people offering great insights and advice about routes. The journey between sites can be quite long. The SPA: Outstanding! There is an onsite spa. The team is fantastic and they have such a wonderful spirit of making you feel relaxed. Book in advance if you doing more than one massage. The service is professional and the massages were great. There is only one steam room so you share with your friends or family.
