About the Hotel
Originally a staging post and hostelry during the feverish gold rush days of the late 19th century, Coach House and Spa is now a gracious country estate. This inviting retreat nestles on a spur overlooking the verdant Letsitele Valley and dramatic Drakensberg Mountains, just a scenic four-hour drive from Johannesburg. Whether youâ€(TM)re bird watching in the magnificent gardens, relaxing in the Agatha Spa, or dining on local Lunsklip River trout and Bonsmara beef in the restaurant, you will relish the convivial, engaging South African lifestyle.

Not the same
Not a good experience, Coach house is not the same. Everything is falling apart. Need I upgrade very soon. Number they give you for room service and other needs they don't even answer. And I don’t moan about answering in 15min time, like 7 hours no respond. And that is the card they give you when checking in. Not great.

Amazing and tranquil
During our recent stay at the Coach House Hotel & Spa, my husband and I had an absolutely wonderful experience. The food was incredible. The service was outstanding; the staff were friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. The views surrounding the hotel were breathtaking, whether we were sipping coffee on the terrace or unwinding in the spa area. Overall, our stay at the Coach House Hotel & Spa was the perfect retreat for luxury and relaxation, and we can’t wait to return! Highly recommended!

Lovely Getaway
We love visiting the hotel. The ambience is other-worldly and the old-world charm just takes us back. The rooms have been beautifully renovated and the General Manager and staff are super friendly and helpful. We can't wait to visit again, and next time maybe have a spa treatment

Outstanding
Wow, we are lost for words. This is one of the loveliest hotels we have stayed in. We arrived on New Year’s Day to a warm and friendly welcome, a delicious lunch and a team of staff who genuinely could not do enough for us. After checking in to our large and very comfortable chalet we enjoyed the breathtaking views of Agatha forest and a drink in the cosy little bar before heading to dinner. The chef is a magician with a piece of fillet - buttery soft and perfectly cooked. Throughout our week’s stay, we were treated with customer service that was both charming, relaxed and informal yet individual and completely professional. This made us feel both completely at home but so well cared for too. The staff dealt brilliantly with some of the infrastructure challenges caused by huge electrical storms in the area, which can’t have been easy! The facilities include a pool, spa, gym, indoor pool, air conditioning in all the rooms, a very beautiful dining room and an impressive wine list of delicious South African wines. I visited the spa for a relaxing manicure and facial, complemented by lots of chats and giggles with the lovely beauty therapist. The surrounding area is fabulous for walking and exploring - we would recommend the Debengeni Falls and Lekgalameetse Nature Reserve for gorgeous sight seeing. There is simply not the space here to capture everything - this hotel is a total little gem in a truly beautiful part of the world and is highly highly recommended.

After 16 years coming to the Coach House once or twice a year, we can say with complete honesty that it is a pearl, quality and service offered with unvarying consistency.
