The Coral Tree Guest House

We were very fortunate to find this gem while researching our trip to South Africa to go on Safari. I am always somewhat skeptical when places either give themselves 5 star rating or other agencies give that rating. Coral Tree certainly met those high expectations. The rooms were spacious, immaculately clean, private spacious veranda. Our plans initially were to stay a couple nights before heading to Pilanesberg for our first safari lodge, however after staying there we chose to use the coral tree for our base in between safaris. Gunter the owner was there to make sure all our needs were met. Each room has a fridge and coffee service tray. The bathroom was huge with two rooms one for vanity and the other with separate shower and tub. The breakfast provided was top notch with choice of anything hot. On our one night stay in between safaris we had to leave at 7 am to catch our flight to Kruger they said no problem to prepare breakfast for us. It’s about 1/2 drive to OR tango international airport. Would we stay there again? We are planning a safari in 2020 and plan on using Coral tree as our base.

As a corporate traveller I have high expectations. Having worked on projects in 19 countries on 4 continents I have experienced the highs and lows in securing decent accommodation. Coral Tree exceeded my expectations. Outstanding hospitality from hosts who are well travelled themselves and can truely connect with foreigners. The hosts previous catering school experience shines through with excellent food. Clean well equipped rooms with excellent attention to the small details that really matter. Outstanding value, exceeding all expectations.

We were looking for a quiet place to stay in Pretoria while my daughter studied for her final university exams. Coral tree house was perfect. The area, Magalieskruin, is a beautiful suburb outside the bustle of Pretoria. The host most helpful. Our room was very private and comfortable with a good quality bed! Tea and coffee provided. Lovely out door area for relaxing near the pool. Would definitely recommend this place as a lovely stopover
