Really nice place definitely a must do. I would recommend that they improve food at the Bell & Wistle. Making delious and simple food is not difficult especially because you have everything you need wood fired oven, fryer, gas grill etc. I believe you need a better chef to draw up a reduced, more flavoursome menu.

My husband and I are currently at the lodge as I type this review, we check out tomorrow and I must say we are extremely impressed. The resort is such a beautiful place, everything about Cayley screams luxury vacation. Resort has so much to do from fun activities to restaurants. We haven't left the resort from check in. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. We are having an amazing time and already planning our next visit! Rooms: We booked a double room with patio it is beautiful & spacious for a couple. The bathrom is huge which is absolutely awesome. Bathroom has a shower and a tub. Nearby activities: The resort has so many activities to offer. Multiple water activities to choose from, archery, paintball,quad biking,tennis cort,jacuzzi,pools,put put and lots more. The chocolate bar is a few km away from resort. Safety: Cayley Mountain Resort is extremely safe. Resort is gated & fenced. Rooms have access cards to enter. Safe undercover parking for vehicles. Walkability: The room we booked was walking distance close to reception and nearby activities. We only drove to the beach club. Food & drinks: The Bell and Wistle restaurant is a lovely chill restaurant. The food was also quite nice. Service from staff was also good. There is also the steam cafe, the view cafe by the infinity pool and another restaurant at the beach club

Rooms: Excellent. Nearby activities: Visited the Drakensberg Boys choir show, Eskom Pump station, Bata factory, Chocolate factory, piggly Wiggly and all the great amenities at the resort. Safety: 24 hour on site. Great security. However lighting in car park shelters need to be better lit to assist night parking. Perhaps the pole supports should be painted white. Difficult to maneuvre at night. Walkability: Ample grassed areas to exercise and relax. Food & drinks: Stayed in self catering units. Well appointed and also had meals at restaurant. Excellent. Noteworthy details: Reception staff Diya and colleagues were very helpful and very efficient.

Fantastic views and a great family-friendly resort. We had a lovely stay here. The view over the Drakensberg mountains is really impressive – the resort sits on a hill and overlooks a wide green valley. On clear days (no mist or clouds), you can see really far. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The apartment itself was spacious, clean and cosy. We stayed in unit A (the biggest part of the house, which is split into A, B, and C), and didn’t hear our neighbours at all. Two bathrooms, both with a bath and a shower. The open-plan living room and kitchen made it feel very homely. Beds were super comfy – even the sofa bed for the kids was fine. Kitchen had everything we needed, including an air fryer! There’s a warm jacuzzi outside which was perfect in the cool evenings. Around the resort you’ll find a midget golf course, a giant outdoor chessboard, a kids' game room, and plenty of parking. WiFi worked well everywhere. The café served good coffee, and breakfast in the restaurant was fine – choice was limited to 4 options, but the English and continental breakfasts were solid. We also had dinner twice at the restaurant (‘The Bell and Whistle’). Nice menu, good wine list, proper pizza oven. Kids liked the pizza – although it was a bit oily. Check-in and out was smooth, helped by the fact everything was prepaid and restaurant bills were cashless. Overall, a really enjoyable and relaxing stay – would happily return.

I’m still at Cayley with 7 adults and 5 children enjoying the views, the facilities and the wonderful hospitality. Everything has improved dramatically since the reception , restaurant and shop was upgraded last year. It is still amazing since our last stay and the facilities are unbelievably good. The only complaint is that the WiFi network is unsecured and cannot be used with a VPN turned on. Why I don’t know, but I am reluctant to enter sites that are confidential or possibly hacked. Rooms: Hi end with everything you can expect in a luxury villa. Very well appointed.

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.
