The chalet was absolutely lovely and especially the jacuzzi was perfect. Everything was provided .

Hotel should have informed us of renovations that where going on. Bit of inconvenience.

Great views, perfect location like your'e in a mountain hug!Spotless accomodation.

Cnstruction is currently taking place, wont allow you to connect to other devices than your phone, Check in is at 3pm with no flexibility - most places allow an earlier check in. inflatablee water park looked dirty and dated and nothing like the video being much smaller in reality, plus there are additional charges for kids facilities where most resorts have it for free.

Delightful surprise. So well laid out and excellent maintenance. Clean and the views and facilities were amazing. Loved the drive to the dam. The supper was lovely. Excellent food and service. The view was breathtaking, too beautiful.

On arrival no tea or coffee available in the unit and when it was requested there was a shortage of milk. No phone contact with reception.

the property is modern and the views are to die for

the restaurant is a big disappointment. The menu is limited, understaffed, minimum waiting time for the food is 1hour even if there are only two tables being served. the food is not tasty at all, they prepare them they way they want/know not according to your request. they don’t have a chef but it is just a general worker trying their best.

We stopped at Cayley for 2 nights. It has a lot to offer and has the most beautiful views. We could also use it as a base for exploring the area (for example, the cafes and shops in the area and the bird of prey centre). We didn’t have the best check in as the person at the reception seemed to be having an off day & was not very pleasant or helpful — it’s also worth noting that some villas have a very loud pumps that kept the more sensitive sleepers in our group awake & the restaurant is honestly not very good. Otherwise, great for kids and groups! Lots of room & heated pools. Would definitely return.

The place is beautiful and clean

The road leading to Cayley is horrible especially with a small car, the restaurant is bad with limited options and the food is almost tasteless, they have nothing not even a simple chicken, please stop saying your breakfast is a buffet because that's not the case instead you are embarrassing your staff coz we were forced to ask them do you guys know what is a buffet? We were then forced to use your horrible road coz we had to go out to get some proper food from the nearby restaurants, your mushroom sauce had zero taste.

We where on self catering unit so we didn't go for breakfast but we did go to the tack shop which was helpful we did go to restaurant on our last the service was great from the lady at the entrance to the guys servicing we love the most the chill lounge with the pool table

The maintenance team can do better ,their time response is a bit slow ( we had a fan problem battery was low) Wi-fi networks they are gone for long time 1 to 2 days and that also affects even cell phone networks Tv has only dstv no other options like netflix etc

The weather was not good during our baecation. It was cloudy and / or raining.We liked the fact that there was a jacuzzi in our room, so we took advantage of the Jaccuzi. The cleaning service that is provided daily on the rooms is much appreciated. We never ran short of anything in the room. It was our first time riding the quadbikes, and the gentleman who guided us was too friendly and patient . He even took pictures and videos while we were enjoying the ride. We didn't inform the staff of Cayley logde that it was our anniversary, but they made sure that we received our gift the following day. We also went for chocolate tasting at Drakensburg chocolate memerios. We really enjoyed the spa on our last day.

The self catering units were tastefully furnished, modern interior & clean, the unit was kitted out with everything one could possibly need, we stayed in the 3-bedroom unit with splash pool: unit 27 & the views were spectacular. We were very well looked after by the waiters, waitresses, kiosk assistant, room cleaners & front desk staff. Their service was exceptional, fast and friendly.

We found the food at the restaurant a bit mediocre & almost bland. The small splash pool pump was a bit noisy. It droned on & should have been on a longer paused setting.
