Dining in the Heart of the Drakensberg
Every great mountain stay has its own rhythm, and at Cathedral Peak Hotel, that rhythm is often felt around the table.
Set in the central Drakensberg, dining at Cathedral Peak Hotel is part of a story that has been shared for generations. It is the breakfast before guests step out onto mountain trails, the lunch that welcomes them back from time outdoors, the tea and bakes enjoyed with Cathedral Peak in view, and the dinner that gathers families, friends, wedding guests and conference groups together after a day shaped by the mountains.
All rates are inclusive of buffet breakfast, light lunch and dinner, as well as mid-morning and afternoon tea, coffee and bakes. Relaxed bar spaces, the terrace and lounge offer further places to gather throughout the day.
Buffet Dining with Mountain Views
The elegant dining room features an original section of the hotel dating back to 1939, pressed-steel ceilings and, from its outermost sections, exquisite views of the surrounding foothills and mountains.
Send your taste buds on a journey with our extensive breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets, prepared by our team of top-class chefs using the best, freshest ingredients. We also cater for a range of dietary requirements, ensuring every guest can enjoy their dining experience.
Children are welcome to join their parents in the main dining room for all meals, making dining part of the shared family experience at the resort.
Bars and Social Spaces
Albert’s Cocktail Bar and Harry’s Bar
When the mountain day begins to soften into sunset, Cathedral Peak Hotel’s bar spaces offer guests another way to settle into the story of the resort.
Albert’s Cocktail Bar is a warm and welcoming place to relax after time outdoors, with a roaring log fire and views over the Drakensberg mountains. It carries the pleasure of a classic resort evening: a comfortable seat, a drink in hand, the fire nearby, and the mountains holding the view beyond.
Harry’s Bar offers a more casual, easy-going setting, with pool, darts and a big screen for watching sport. It is the ideal place to relax and socialise after a day in the mountains, with Friday-night karaoke adding to the fun.
Terrace and Lounge
Some of Cathedral Peak Hotel’s most memorable moments are beautifully simple.
On the terrace, guests can pause in the fresh mountain air with uninterrupted views of Cathedral Peak, enjoying complimentary mid-morning and afternoon tea, coffee and bakes. It is a daily ritual that feels woven into the life of the resort: a gentle pause between meals, hikes, activities and time outdoors.
This is where the Drakensberg becomes part of the dining experience in its quietest way. The view, the air, the pace and the warmth of something shared all come together in a moment guests can carry with them.
Alongside the terrace, the lounge offers a cosy communal space for slower and more playful parts of the day. Guests can enjoy a family board game, spend time reading, or take part in evening activities such as Bingo, Giant Jenga, music quizzes, Charades or Pictionary.
Together, the terrace and lounge extend Cathedral Peak Hotel’s hospitality beyond mealtimes, giving guests places to gather, rest, play and feel at home in the mountains.
Shared Meals for Family Stays
For many returning guests, Cathedral Peak Hotel is part of a family story, and meals are often where those stories are shared.
Children join their parents in the main dining room for meals, helping families keep the rhythm of the day simple and connected. After hikes, swimming, pony rides, games, children’s activities or time spent outdoors, mealtimes become a familiar place to gather, refuel and reconnect.
The combination of dining, children’s facilities and resort activities helps make Cathedral Peak Hotel a family-friendly Drakensberg resort where meals are not separate from the holiday. They become part of the memory of it.
