Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The hotel is very well located with numerous walks and hikes starting right on your doorstep. The meals were generally all very good, although missing a few items at breakfast. We especially liked the made-to-order omlettes at breakfast, and the stir-fry and carvery at dinner. The staff providing these were all very friendly and helpful.
Negative: There was no muesli for breakfast on 2 of our 4 days, and the fruit selection with breakfast was a bit limited. Our room only had a single 2-pin plug, so we had to take turns to charge our devices. It would be very easy to add some USB points or supply some 2-pin adapters. The coffee at breakfast is the filter variety. If you order a double-espresso instead it will cost you R45 which we thought was a bit much. A Nespresso machine in the superior and higher rooms would be a great addition. There were also no cushions for the outside chairs and loungers in the executive suite.
Summary: Perfectly positioned for hikes and walks around Cathedral Peak

Noel, South Africa Apr 3, 2026 07:00:00 AM
Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Mountains, facilities, meals, staff
Negative: We had an imbalanced noisy ceiling fan in our room (82) which we reported the first evening, maintenance said it needed a new motor. Nothing was done about it for the 2 nights we were there. We had to sleep with our door and windows open to cool the room. They could have just given us another room, there were plenty of open rooms all around us.

Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Awesome mountain views which seem almost unreal. Friendly and efficient staff. Wide selection of food to please all tastes and preferences. Lived in somewhat retro feel.
Negative: Although it is not the hotel’s responsibility, the public access roads are in a bad condition. A positive is that the last section before entering the reserve is being resurfaced.
Summary: One of my favourite hotels anywhere.
