Very nice hotel in a beautiful location. Food is ok not super but good. Look for the offers because the normal price is not worth it. Much needs replacing. Hotel is dated but clean and hygienic

We were a family of 4 adults staying at Cathedral Peak to enjoy the mountains. The lads went walking while we enjoyed horse riding. We found booking other activities challenging (would have liked to have gone quad biking) due to lack of information but on the whole our stay was great. The staff were helpful and choice of good quality food great

Every staff member that we engaged with treated us like family... We left feeling like royalty. Excellent customer service! We will definitely return to enjoy all the facilities and delicious meals soon.

This will be our 4th visit to Cathedral Peak hotel. The standard of care has not dropped but only grown. The facilities are great especially when coming back from a long to a clean room and a jaw-dropping buffet. You will never feel hungry :)

Having had such a wonderful Christmas at Cathedral Peak in 2023 our American family wanted nothing more than to go back during their holiday here this month and we were extremely happy to go with them. I think this being our 8th holiday there says it all. We love everything about Cathedral; the comfort of the rooms, the friendliness of staff and especially the food are all great but the situation of the hotel, being right in the magnificent Drakensberg Mountains, and the wonderful hikes it offers will always draw us back.
