Heel mooi hotel op een schitterende locatie. Eten is ok niet super maar goed. Zoek wel naar de aanbiedingen want de normale prijs is het niet waard. Veel is wel aan vervanging toe. Hotel is gedateerd maar wel schoon en hygiënisch

We buy 5 day vouchers in November and March, once to come as a couple and once with a large group of friends, mostly in their 80s. We’re already planning our 2026 visits! The only problem we encountered was at check-in when a voucher was not found despite the fact that it had been emailed in advance to the hotel. So admin needs some attention. The hotel itself is five star. Wonderful food, delightful food and beverage staff, comfortable rooms and so many activities on offer. Thank you - and see you in 2026!

Visiting Cathedral Peak Hotel is a feast for the eyes. The location is magnificent and unique and the hotel is positioned perfectly in beautiful surroundings of gardens, mountains and hiking trails. The hotel is a bit dated, but clean and well run with pleasant and helpful staff. The food is good and compliments to the chefs for preparing very tasty meals three times a day. The spa is a wonderful experience especially after a day of hiking. The only negative was the carpet in our room, which had dirty stain marks, which was unsightly in an otherwise clean space. Overall it was a great experience and somewhere to look forward to going back to soon.

It was an absolutely amazing stay at Cathedral Peak for our 25th anniversary. This is our 4th time, and we have already booked next year! There are so many hiking options that we wanted to stay longer. Thank you, Cathedral Peak Hotel, we love coming back each year!

After long drive along gravel roads we reached the spectacular location surrounded by mountains. Buffet food was plentiful and varied. Enjoyed the cakes mid morning and mid afternoon after walking in the hills. Guided walk to see the local rock paintings and plant life was interesting. The pool was too cold during our stay but very attractive place to chill out in the sunshine, where we enjoyed seeing the antelope and birdlife. Whilst we were out walking we returned to discover possibly baboons had stolen fruit from our bedroom so best lock the glass even when bars at windows.
