We were looking for somewhere quiet with good views to get away from it all for a night. Cathbert is wonderfully quiet and the public areas and rooms are beautifully done, with very smart decks and fabulous outside showers. Our only disappointment was that we had asked for a room with a view but our room (no 4) only had... More

We spent two lovely nights at Cathbert during our honeymoon. We were welcomed by Anne and Robert who are utterly charming and very helpful, organising us an amazing wine tour and adding wonderful personal touches (including rose petals on our bed on the first night). Our room was and remains the most beautiful room we have ever stayed in and... More

We were welcomed by the former owners, who were most charming. The rooms were out of this world as were the gardens into which they led; the views were superb, a slice of heaven. Imagine our surprise then, when we went to the restaurant and were confronted by a belligerent, aggressive "restaurant manager". He told us there was a set... More

We returned here to spend a few days relaxing in the sunshine, knowing the personal service and charming rooms were all we needed. Since our last visit the swimming pool has been changed - and you can swim amongst the water lilies and dragon flies, knowing that your skin will be soft and smooth (and safe from chlorine). Aubrey will... More

Located not far from either Stellenbosch or Franschhoek its a bit from the road but well worth the trip thro the vineyard. We booked too late to get one of the lodges but the room was perfectly adequate. Arriving on a sunday we hadn't prebooked dinner but were served a platter of cold cuts which would have fed us for...

We stayed here recently on a recommendation and were delighted - it is located about 2.5 Kim's from the road and is truly a hidden gem - the views are spectacular and watching the sun set reflecting red on the mountains was amazing. Food was excellent and staff very friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble.

Cathbert Inn was recommended to us by Vrede-en-Lust as they were fully booked and we were attending a wedding there. The 2.4 km little tar road meanders past vineyards, farm gates etc.with speedbumps so you can't rush, which means your retreat has already begun. We were welcomed by Carmen and the grey striped cat with big eyes. Friendly service, super... More

Don't be misled by this property's website! The traditional colonial-style main building has had a complete makeover and is now unrecognisable. It is all very comfortable but is now more another "boutique hotel" than a country inn. The main public space is completely open-plan with lots of glass and decking and the swimming pool has been transformed into an eco-pool... More

Cathbert is a real treasure. The surrounding valley has a lot to offer and the competition is stuff so hotels need to make a lot of effort to stand out. Cathbert does that and succeeds. From the moment I arrived until I left I was treated like a VIP. My suite was simply stunning with everything one could wish for... More
