    We loved the property, and we enjoyed seeing the wildlife while we had breakfast. We saw Zebras who came all the way to the breakfast table, saw multiple birds, and massive baboons! Roger is an excellent host who caters to all your personal needs....

This property incites peace and serenity - it is a place where relaxation sets in and you leave feeling totally rejuvenated and refreshed. Cathkin Cottage offers warm and personal hospitality and offers a space that feels like home.
I recently took ownership of Cathkin Cottage at the end of 2019 after a long standing career in the corporate hospitality industry. It has been my long time dream to run and own my own guest cottage and I welcome you to come and share my dream.
There is an abundance of activities and entertainment in the Champagne Valley and our central location puts us in close proximity to all these attractions. A vast number of hiking trails cover the region with beautiful scenery and waterfalls. Other great experiences include Helicopter flips, Tree top canopy tours, Hot air ballooning and a Health Spa. We also home to the famous Drakensberg Boys Choir School, which offers public shows through out the year. Explore, unwind and relax with everything there is to offer in the Central Drakensberg.
