The uniqueness of the cave is an unforgettable experience. Kings View Cave is breathtakingly beautiful. The cave accommodation and facilities are spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The views and sunsets are beautiful. The silence is refreshing.

Uniekheid van die grot is 'n onvergeetlike ervaring. Kings View Cave is asemrowend pragtig. Die grotverblyf en geriewe is skitterend skoon en baie gerieflik. Die uitsigte en sonsondergang is pragtig. Stilte is verfrissend.

Loved the views, peace and solitude. Kings View Cave is truly something special. We loved the incredible views, the peace, and the absolute solitude — pure remoteness at its best. It’s the perfect place to unwind, slow down, and gather your thoughts. Photos honestly don’t do the views justice. A high-clearance vehicle is a must, as the access is a proper 4x4 track, which only added to the sense of adventure. We will definitely be back.

Exceptionally beautiful and unique place with a beautiful view. It was an exceptionally beautiful and unique place with beautiful views. Worth a visit and will go again. The road to the cave is challenging and a high 4X4 vehicle is highly recommended. Take wood and water with you and note the deposit that must be paid upon arrival.

Buitengewone mooi en unieke plek met pragtige uitsig. Dit was 'n buitengewone mooi en unieke plek met pragtige uitsig. Moeite werd om te besoek en sal weer gaan. Die pad na die grot is 'n uitdaging en 'n hoë 4X4 voertuig word sterk aanbeveel. Neem hout en water saam en neem kennis van die deposito wat betaal moet word by aankoms.

Unpleasant Experience! Unpleasant experience! We booked 4 nights and paid in full well before arrival. The hostess informed us at 8 o'clock the night before check-in that we had to bring our own water and firewood. A waiver form must be filled out before you can go up to the cave, and the crockery deposit must be paid. You are informed that you even have to take your own rubbish home, otherwise you lose some of the crockery deposit. There is only a small solar system, so you cannot use a hairdryer in the cave. To go up to the cave, you need to have a 4x4 vehicle and be a very experienced 4x4 driver. We were in a 2x4 with high ground clearance and could not do it because this route is definitely not suitable for any vehicle other than a 4x4. After we turned around, we were told they could take us for an additional fee, but please realize you have to get it into their account, otherwise you won't be picked up again until it's in their account. We were there for 4 nights, and when we saw it was going to rain and the road was bad, we asked them to pick us up on day three so we could go home. We were then told that if the fee to pick you up and drop you off didn't show in their bank account, they wouldn't pick us up. Payment had already been made and proof sent, but they wouldn't accept it and we were forced, and after we notified the website, to pay another fee before they would pick us up. This was done as an immediate payment. It was a struggle with a 4x4 driven by the host to get us out. The cave could do with a good upgrade. The view in and around the cave is beautiful, but the wind blows constantly. Also read the Google reviews to avoid disappointment.

Onaangename Ondervinding! Onaangename ondervinding! Ons het 4 aande bespreek en lank voor aankoms ten volle betaal. Die gasvrou het om 8 uur die aand voor inklok laat weet ons moet ons eie water en vuurmaakhout saambring. ’n Vrywaringsvorm moet ingevul word nog voordat jy kan opgaan na die grot, en die breekwaredeposito móét betaal word. Jy word verwittig dat jy selfs jou eie vullis terug huis toe moet neem, anders verloor jy van die breekwaredeposito. Daar is net ’n klein sonkragstelsel, dus kan jy nie ’n haardroër in die grot gebruik nie. Om op te gaan na die grot, moet jy ’n 4x4-voertuig hê en ’n baie ervare 4x4-bestuurder wees. Ons was in ’n 2x4 met hoë grondvryhoogte en kon dit nie doen nie omdat hierdie roete beslis nie geskik is vir enige voertuig behalwe ’n 4x4 nie. Nadat ons omgedraai het, is ons meegedeel hulle kan ons neem teen ’n addisionele fooi, maar besef asseblief jy moet dit in hul rekening kry, anders word jy nie weer gekry alvorens dit in hul rekening is nie. Ons was daar vir 4 aande, en toe ons sien dit gaan reën en die pad was sleg, het ons gevra dat hulle ons op dag drie kom haal sodat ons huis toe kon gaan. Ons is toe meegedeel dat as die fooi om jou op te vat en weer af te haal nie in hul bankrekening wys nie, hulle ons nie gaan kom haal nie. Betaling was reeds gedoen en bewys gestuur, maar hulle wou dit nie aanvaar nie en ons moes noodgedwonge, en nadat ons die webtuiste verwittig het, nóg ’n fooi betaal voordat hulle ons kom haal het. Hierdie was as ’n onmiddellike betaling gedoen. Dit was ’n gesukkel met ’n 4x4 wat bestuur is deur die gasheer om ons daar uit te kry. Die grot kan doen met ’n goeie opgradering. Die uitsig in en om die grot is mooi, maar die wind waai gedurig. Lees ook die Google-resensies om teleurstelling te voorkom.

Lovely stay, dishonest hosts. Lovely place, but extremely dishonest hosts. The stories you hear about them making up stories to withhold deposit is true, and the trail is a 4x4 trail which they ommit to mention until you get to the reception. Extremely remote area and a bit of a hussle to get to, bit the views areworth it.

Wonderful stay. Special memories made. Spectacular view. Comfortable accommodation and friendly owners. The road is quite challenging to get to the cave - 4x4 recommended. A bit further than anticipated.
