We recently visited the Cathedral Peak Hotel in the Drakensburg for a 3 night break and Absolutely LOVED it. The staff are so well trained, friendly and extremely helpful, the food are outstanding ( the variety is an absolute Wow) and the activities world class. This is a world class hotel. The best part is of course the amazing walks... More

Cathedral Peaks is a very large rather impersonal hotel set in the foothills of the glorious Drakenbergs. It is an excellent base for either gentle walks or serious hiking although we found at least one of the easier local walks was very overgrown. Having said that, the walk to the Doreen Falls was very enjoyable and well worth attempting. Individual... More

A lovely long weekend away ended on a false note with a pair of Ray Bans disappearing from our breakfast table in the time it takes to fetch a cup of coffee. DO NOT LEAVE VALUABLES UNATTENDED ON YOUR DINING ROOM TABLE!

We had our wedding at Cathedral Peak Hotel and it was amazing we couldn't find fault with anything. The hotel is amazing, the staff is friendly and helpful. We will definitely return to the hotel. The hotel is definitely a wonder.

An excellent hotel in a spectacular setting. We received a really warm welcome. Be prepared to settle your accommodation account balance on arrival! We had booked a superior room on the dinner, bed and breakfast basis. The room was spacious with lots of hanging and draw space and a separate dressing area. The large en-suite had a separate shower and... More

This is a hotel that I will revisit again and again... Hopefully. Highlights include i) arguably the best traditional hotel buffet in the country ii) the amazingly wide array of activities available (I don't hike but want bored for a second) iii) some of the very best views of the mountains. Right now this is THE PLACE to stay in... More

The main attraction of Cathedral Peak Hotel was its location, but the hotel itself provided everything we needed at a very good all-round standard. The service was excellent and the meals in the carvery/buffet restaurant were varied, tasty and plentiful. Our room was comfortable and spacious, although the decor was a bit tired-looking. We booked on a guided walk (free... More

We have stayed at the hotel many many times over the last 30 years or so and keep going back as it is situated in one of our favourite parts of the Drakensberg. It has gone through many changes, some good and some not so good, and is now definitely a resort hotel with all sorts of activities on offer.... More

This hotel looks fantastic in it's location, the spectacular, World heritage listed Drakensburg Ranges, but it does not live up to its appearance, at least in the accommodation wings. If you want to visit this area, there are not a lot of hotels to chose from so this hotel is probably as good as it gets and overall, it is... More

I have been going here on and off for over twenty years, there are several magnets found no where else, firstly Cathedral Peak mountain itself which I climbed in total 13 times in my younger days, then the warm friendly country type hotel which it is, with an old fashioned genre represented in just about every thing, the great breakfasts,...
