The award winning Cavern Berg hotel is nestled into the mountains in the Oliviershoek area of the Drakensberg. The hotel is built on one of the old Boer farms in the area and is surrounded by the mountains and forest. The forest attracted early attention for it timber and in particular its giant yellowwood trees. The saw pits used to carve up this timber are still evident on the nature trails surrounding the hotel. The hotel was established in the late 1930's by Bill and Ruth Carte is still in family hands to this day. Many additions have been done over the years to the facilities and the accommodation.
