Very clean and a pleasant stay!!!
A perfect place to relax and the staff was super nice and very welcoming. Dabby was so helpful and went out of her way to ensure that each guest is comfortable and is informed of things to do, places to eat etc.
If I have the chance to return to Central Drakensberg I would definitely return to Cathkin Cottage.
Debby our host was simply lovely and helpful. She offered herself to guide us through the property to watch a pack of zebras and the outdoors with magnificent views of the Central Drakensberg. Rooms are warm and cozy and they offered a very good breakfast.
