Perfect little getaway in the mountains”

We decided to go on a little getaway for the weekend and we could not have chosen a better place. Cathedral Peak Hotel is hidden away in the beautiful mountains. The service was excellent, the buffet breakfast, lunch & dinner was absolutely delicious and the scenery was stunning. We were even lucky enough to wake to snow on the mountains. Definitely a go to place if you decide to make your way to the Drakensberg.

I absolutely loved my stay at Cathedral Peak. Honestly, 5-star quality food, fabulous location. My only advice is regarding the wellness centre/ spa-very mediocre from a decor and aesthetic point of view. Looked like makeshift house turned into a spa. Definitely roomfor improvement. Otherwise, I fully recommend this establishment.

I had made a special request to be allocated twin beds but we arrived to find a King-size bed in the room. They have no adapters in the room & it took hours for us to obtain one. The staff was amazing though, from the gentleman who welcomed us at the parking lot to the lady that fetched our luggage upon checking out. Rooms need twin plugs or adapters, please.
