This is a must do in your lifetime! We stayed in the Dassiebak and the stay was truly unique! The hostess was friendly and provided us with fresh bread and homemade jam. It was absolutely beautiful! Sunsets are viewed from your bedroom and the stars are magnificent.

Definitely stay in one of these caves once in your life. Really imaginatively built and comfortably decorated. Lovely walks and drives and cycles close by. Look out for the red tipped Minnow. The hosts were really friendly and helpful.

OH WOW! We had an amazing adventure. Hikes, Cycling, Walks, swam in the puddles in the road. It was definitely a unique off the grid experience. We highly recommend this treasure.

Awesome place! We were on a camping trip so we had extras needed (headlamps, gas lamps and sleeping bags which helped), really a great experience!

Loved the stay, totally of the grid. Relaxing and stress relieving. Deep in nature, private cave and beautifull hikes. But technical descent on hike, on mnguni cow hike.

One has to experience this in your lifetime! We stayed in the Martiens Huis, but did visit some of the caves for a sneak peak. (some caves can be bit tricky for the older folks) We even did the slippy slide in winter. Gorgeous views and the friendliest of people. Would definitely go again!!
