It was my first experience at the hotel, overall, it has been a great experience of nature, history, tranquility at the waterfalls and friendly staff, as a group we have had a blast with all the activities around the venue, Golf was a highlight for most of our members and the course was great. The staff at the clubhouse was very friendly and accommodating and golf carts where is good condition. The quad biking trail was good but could do with a bit further trail and/or development, the pricing for 1 hour was rather high and is more for the less experienced riders, I think a more (technical) trail would also be an attraction for more experienced riders, but overall tit was good, the quads where is good condition and well maintained. The horses where in very good condition and well trained overall it was a great experience. All the hiking trails lead to its own unique place, which is amazing, for first time hikers it is rather friendly on the legs with not too many obstacles to get to the basic falls, the next experience will definitely be the more technical and longer trails, the trail indicators could do with a bit of an upgrade to display the area better (indicator stones on the paths) nonetheless the experience was GREAT! The food was AMAZING! there was a very large selection food to choose from and the chefs did an amazing job, Well done.…

I am in two minds about this hotel. For the price it is good value for money, but they offer very little service and I would preferred to have paid more and had some service The restaurant is vast, cavernous, and as dark as a coal hole at lunchtime. You get allocated a table on arrival, and are stuck with that for you entire stay. This way they do not have to provide staff to show you to your table All meals are buffet, serve yourself. So no waiting staff, just an infrequent clearing away of dirty plates. They are meant to supply a bar service in the restaurant, but this only happened on 1 of the 4 days we were there - they handle a lot of groups, and when there is a group, there is no drink service in the restaurant for "normal" guests For reasons I cannot fathom, the 200 series of rooms have no other way of accessing them other than via 21 steps. So you have to drag your luggage up and down these steps We could not enjoy the view of the mountains from our room , as the vegetation had grown out of control and obscured a lot of the view The bar prices are very reasonable, and the position of the bar first class, but the barman was less than charming The settling of the hotel is fantastic and the walks very good For me, the hotel had cut back on service to a point where it was no longer a real hotel. In 4 days we rarely spoke to staff End of the day I would not choose to stay here again, but I appreciate that, at the price, others my feel that the lack of service is a price worth paying…

Cathedral Peak is situated in one of the most beautiful settings in the world. The breakfast and dinners are really good although the two tea times could do with some attention to the teatime treats on offer.

We have been coming here for years and still love this beautiful property. I enjoy the traditional South African food at meals as well as the lovely staff service. The walks in the mountains remain a highlight, and my teenagers especially love boldering up the rivers. Although the property is a bit dated, it's setting is 10 out of 10!

We are frequently returning guests and love the location, amenities, walks and service. Our stay was great and we fulfilled the checklist we set ourselves, returning home happy, rested and content. The one snag we experienced was the inability of reception to quote us accurately and finally on a room upgrade and a one day extension. The straw that broke the camels back was adding an additional charge one hour after they quoted us in writing regarding the one day extension. So, we returned home.
