I've heard good things about The Cavern; but the actual experience was way better.
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay. Stunning location, and beautifully kept gardens and facilities. Very friendly staff. Great hikes from the hotel into the surrounding escarpement. Meals were also very good; but - for some reason - the kitchen doesn't do breaksfast eggs very well. But that is about the only negative in an otherwise great stay.

Restorative
Pros:

The food was exceptional. The natural landscape like the fern forest was magical. And I love the fact they had E-bikes that allowed for some incredible adventures in the area and mountains. Brilliant service and fireplace.

Cons:

My room did not have a view. it would be useful to not offer these or have these reduced in price to compensate for the difference. Signage for the walking and biking trails could be marked better.
