Guest Impressions

Cathedral Peak

"We loved our stay at Cathedral Peak, thank you. Our room was comfortable and spacious with a lovely view over the pool and mountains, service all round was great, will definitely come for another visit."

- Karin and Raymond Amoretti
Christmas Holiday

"Our stay at Cathedral Peak over the Christmas holiday was fantastic. The staff are very friendly and will go out of their way to answer any query. The FOOD is out of this world. We wished we had three stomachs!!!! The Christmas Day dinner was one of the best we have ever had. Hats off the the chefs who worked so hard. We have been going to Cathedral Peak over the years since our honeymoon in 1974 and it has NEVER let us down. Well done."

- Jude Veal from South Africa
Soul Food

"My husband and I recently spent a Restful few days at Cathedral Peak in the Berg to recharge our batteries. Having visited a number of other places in the Berg we were very pleasantly surprised at the accommodation, the food and of course blown away by the views which I think must be the most spectacular in the Berg. We loved every moment, even though I had hoped for some snow on the mountain, the spectacular views more than made up for the fact that the weather didn''t co-operate! We were looking for something that would rest our souls and still give us the opportunity to experience fine dining, restful sherries by the fires and lovely long walks (and Doreen Falls was a wonderful hike, well worth the visit). We want to return but with children and grandchildren as we found there was something for everyone, of all ages."

- Jo Green from South Africa
