General Facilities
 
In recognition of its cultural and natural beauty, the Drakensberg mountain range has taken its rightful place on the international tourism stage with the proclamation of the uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park as a World Heritage Site. Cathedral Peak Hotel lies nestled in these unspoiled surroundings as one of South Africa’s premier resort hotels.
 
Situated on 400ha of land, Cathedral Peak Hotel is unique in that it falls within the boundaries of the Cathedral Peak Nature Reserve and nestles right up against the spectacular Cathedral Peak range of mountains. Visitors are able to enjoy the solitude of the mountains without the disruption of many other tourists.
 
Since the hotel first opened to guests in 1939, the van der Riet family has succeeded in offering warm hospitality combined with exceptional service and value for money. When shadows reach down from lofty mountain peaks there is no better place than the hotel's terrace from which to admire the view and enjoy a sundowner.
 
The Hotel houses a fully equipped gym with steam bath and a beauty therapist where you are encouraged to relax and be pampered with one of the many treatments available from Peak Performance Vitality Centre.
 
The hotel offers a variety of outdoor activities including free daily guided hikes, including walks to the Bushman paintings with a qualified guide; horse-rides; Mountain bike trails (own bikes required); jogging route; tennis; squash; bowls; outdoor chess; beach volleyball; badminton; floodlit mini-adventure golf; a 10m climbing tower; heated & cold swimming pool and fly fishing.
 
Cathedral Peak Hotel is a bird watcher’s paradise with specialist birding hikes being offered by qualified guides. However, guests are encouraged to explore the grounds, noting their spottings on the hotel’s bird list. Early morning riverside ambles are ideal for the beginner bird enthusiast and hides have been constructed in the hotel’s immediate vicinity.
 
In addition, the immaculate 9-hole gold course situated on the hotel property offers alternate tees for an 18-hole game. The club house boasts rest rooms, a lounge area, a pub (Philip's Pholy) and a terrace with spectacular mountain views - the perfect 19th hole.
