Phenomenal.

Located in the heart of Drakensberg, Cathkin Cottage B&B was perfect for our weekend getaway. The host Roger provided excellent tips on local eateries and attractions. The rooms were spotless and beautifully decorated. Roger went above and beyond to ensure we felt at home. I was taken aback by the breathtaking views and was so delighted to wake up to zebras on our doorstep. Most grateful for hosting us.

Dear Sarita.
Thank you for taking the time to send a review following your stay with us.
Your kind and positive feedback is truly appreciated, and I will share this with my staff, who I know are likely to get extra motivated by this recognition. Thank you.
The zebra visit was extra special, and I must admit that I never get tired of seeing them and the joy that they bring.
Please look after one another and I do hope that you will consider staying with us when next you visit the Drakensberg.
Keep warm and look after one another.
Best regards, Roger

Very nicely decorated cottage, especially the common / shared living / breakfast room. Good breakfast. Friendly staff.

We had a pleasant stay at this nice location. We enjoyed the small pool for a refreshing dip. Nice dining at the Drakensberg Sun hotel in walking distance. We had left a toiletry bag in our bathroom at departure. Staff made an effort to get it back to us, which worked out well, thanks.

A great place to stay. Will definitely go back.

We really enjoyed our staying at the Cathkin Cottage B&B. Leila the owner/hostess is charming, friendly and really made us feel welcome. The breakfasts were well presented, creative and really delicious. Esther and Lindiwe helped serve and they were very attentive to our needs. We loved sitting around the pool in the beautiful garden and we liked the peace and tranquility. It was great to meet Elliot the resident dog and he certainly added to the general ambience of the establishment. This is a gem! We will certainly return there in the future.

Dear Gwyneth

Thank you so much - my gosh, this is so nice to read, it made my heart sing.
AND you spelt our names perfectly, you really do have attention to detail - well done for even remembering our names.
Gosh, I often am bad at that, never mind perfect spelling. Thank you once again, we loved hosting you.

In één woord heerlijk

Prachtige cottage met veel privacy, een hele leuke kamers en gezellige ontbijtruimte. Omdat je met z'n allen om de tafel zit, kom je tot een leuk gesprek met de andere gasten. Leila geeft veel aandacht aan haar gasten. De auto staat veilig achter de cottage.

In one word, delicious

Beautiful cottage with a lot of privacy, very nice rooms and a cozy breakfast area. Because you sit around the table alone, you get to have a nice conversation with the other guests. Leila pays a lot of attention to her guests. The car is safely parked behind the cottage.
