WELCOME TO

Cathedral Peak

KWAZULU-NATAL - DRAKENSBERG

Overview

The 4-star Cathedral Peak resort-style hotel is nestled in a tranquil and secluded valley in the heart of the Drakensberg Mountains. Make the most of the great outdoors with the hotel’s range of activities, set against the stunning backdrop of this World Heritage Site.

Rooms

The hotel’s 104 rooms are cooled by ceiling fans in summer and have tea and coffee facilities, satellite TV, complimentary Wi-Fi and a private veranda from which to enjoy the dramatic views. Interconnecting rooms feature a shared bathroom and two bedrooms separated by a sliding glass door and curtains, giving privacy for families. The adults only Executive/ Honeymoon Suites are set apart from the rest of the property and have breathtaking mountain views.

Facilities

The hotel has a large dining room offering buffet meals, two bars to unwind in and an outdoor terrace, where complimentary morning coffee and afternoon tea is served daily. There is a children’s playroom (activities are organised during busy periods) and a spa for adults to unwind.

The real focus here though is the outdoor activities. Eighteen walking and hiking trails leave from and return to the hotel, and guests are welcome to join the daily guided walk. Complimentary resort activities include outdoor chess, mini-golf, tennis, badminton, squash, a climbing tower and a gym. Relax by one of the two pools while younger children let off steam in the playground and enjoy a complimentary pony ride. More adventurous activities include horse riding, mountain bike trails and even a 5 kilometre jogging route. Golfers can enjoy a round of golf at the 9-hole course (local charges apply).

Our thoughts

Be sure to pack the walking boots for hikes in beautiful mountain scenery.
The wide range of activities makes Cathedral Peak a popular choice for families.
Cathedral Peak combines well with a stay in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands and the KwaZulu-Natal battlefields. "

"The best trip we have ever had and we have had some wonderful holidays. Africa is a very special place - we will definitely be returning to South Africa."

"African Pride throughout have been professional and patient with the group's changing needs. I couldn’t recommend African Pride highly enough. It was a holiday that we all now hold as one of the best we have ever had!! Thank you."

Mr B

Trust stars

"We had a FABULOUS time. Even my husband, who was not keen on going, enjoyed the trip! We saw the Big 5 as well as many other animals. The vulture feeding at the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge was well worth watching. It is part of a foundation to keep these birds from becoming endangered. It was a great trip and my family loved it. Thank you so very much for all your help in making the trip a reality for us!!!"
