The development consists of 5 Villages, set on 1,054 hectares in Champagne Valley, nestling up against the Okhahlamba Drakensberg Park World Heritage Site and has a complete infrastructure of tar roads, water supply and electricity. Filtered water is piped from a dam high in the catchment area, supplying residents with free water.

There are numerous hiking, running and biking trails. The dams and rivers are good for fishing and a picnic at the waterfall is an enticing adventure.

Security on the Estate is excellent with an electrified perimeter game fence which is patrolled continuously on foot during the day and a patrol vehicle from 6pm to 6am every night.

All homes enjoy clear berg views and provided the Rules of Conduct are followed, letting of a completed house is available to owners for holiday renting.

Any new purchaser to the estate will when purchasing automatically become a member of the Cathkin Estates Homeowners Association.

Unfortunately, being an eco-estate, no pets are allowed.
