Some things just never fade; class is indeed permanent. Take the Coach House Hotel & Spa for instance. The facility was opened in 1983 on the site of the original hotel used by travellers in the feverish gold rush days of the late 19th century.
The Coach House, situated in the woodlands of Agatha Forest Reserve in the Tzaneen area, serves the same function of years gone by, though the visitor today is a pleasure seeking traveller who also wants peace of mind and relaxation.
Apart from richness in history, the hotel offers world-class hospitality in luxurious comfort and scenic tranquility in the friendly ambience of a gracious country estate. The hotel nestles atop a spur looking over the verdant Letsitele valley and the dramatic splendour of the Drakensberg Mountains and is the perfect venue for weddings and conferences.
Countless satisfied guests return time and again to this well-established country hotel, for its magnificent setting, abundant attractions, and consistently superb hospitality. Warm and friendly staff are on hand to attend to your every need. A superb wine cellar offers an excellent choice of fine wines and our acclaimed and charming Zeederberg Restaurant offers fine dining with outstanding cuisine. Since it first opened in 1983, the Coach House has gained a reputation both locally and abroad as “one of the finest and friendliest hotels in South Africa.”
