Make it a Beautiful Day
This past month has been nothing short of dreadful. Inter-provincial travel from Gauteng was banned then came unrest in KZN and suddenly a lovely winter season was no more. Obliterated.

Birding Blog March 2021
The weather was kind, warm sun brought out swallows and swifts in great numbers for their early morning swirl above the lawn. One “twitcher” had come specifically to find the Half-collared Kingfisher. Bingo, three on one pond, and interacting for nearly an hour. A pair of Yellow-throated Woodland-Warblers was another bonus, supposedly common but always

Esse Is A Yes
Our Forest Retreat Spa is one of our favourite spaces at The Cavern; we find ourselves many an afternoon practising quality control, particularly on the massage menu. One friend who is well ‘spa’ travelled informed us, they have never experienced such a relaxing facial in all the earth as at The Cavern. And her husband
