Lakes Cave is a spacious overhang about 12km from Cobham. It can sleep up to 8 people in dry conditions, although 2 would need to use the upper ledge.

A river is below the cave and the views are excellent. Sunrise from above the cave is amazing with view of both the small and big berg on a clear day. Wind-driven rain can wet the lower section, reducing sleeping space to about 4 to 6 people.

Explore the Cobham area: Cobham’s landscape includes the Pholela River, grasslands and sandstone formations below the high escarpment. The reserve offers day walks, overnight hikes and stages of the Giant’s Cup Trail. Read our Cobham Nature Reserve guide for more about the area and planning a visit.
