Coral Tree Inn, what an unforgettable stay! It was most convenient that Coral Tree Inn is situated in a quiet, upmarket area, in walking distance from a small shopping mall and restaurants. The rooms are stylishly decorated, well maintained and comfortable. The view, overlooking trees, from the balcony of our room enhances the calm and peaceful ambiance of Coral Tree Inn.

After several previous stays at Coral Tree returned once again with my wife Leandra. Reason: very friendly and helpful staff and owners. (Who manage the place themselves) Spacious, comfortable and clean rooms with pleasant atmosphere. Comfortable beds & bed linen. Very well-functioning & comfortable sanitary appliances. (Bath, shower & toilets) Excellent breakfast and very good value for money.

South Africa is a beautiful country with warm friendly people and spectacular scenery. The staff was extremely accommodating during my 10 day stay, thinking of everything possible to make my stay comfortable and pleasant. Gunther, Sanette and Ulrike provided transportation, information, and support to make this stay fantastic - they treated me like family. The property is idyllic and opulent - the photographs on this site do not capture the beautiful night sky, relaxing sounds, and smell of fresh air. The breakfasts were incredible with ornate fruit arrangements & delicious omelettes prepared by George and his kitchen staff. My spacious room was ornately furnished with antiques and a private balcony for enjoying the scenic view. If you have a long enough stay and can enjoy a traditional South African "braai" prepared by Gunther it will be the pinnacle of barbecue perfection.

Excellent enjoyed the outside as well, very peaceful and relaxing. Other guests very pleasant and friendly. The butler, George, was such a humble and obliging person with the utmost respect and caring person. There were no restrictions.

I have stayed at the Coral Tree Inn a number of times now and have enjoyed the warm hospitality, high standards of care and creature comforts that are so professionally provided by Günther, Ulrike, George and all the staff. In addition, the venue has a secure, beautiful, peaceful and natural setting that makes you forget that you are still in the heart of urban civilization!

If there was something better than "Excellent" in an overall impression, I would have chosen it. Home away from Home. Peace, quiet, tranquility, hospitality, personality. Gunter and George are just really good people. I can't say enough. We had a trip of a lifetime and Coral Tree Inn (and THE PEOPLE of Coral Tree Inn) started us off perfectly. Great food too. Even Meatloaf was great (I'm not talking food, I'm talking music! Haha, you know what I mean Gunter!) If you are a tourist and looking for a safe, comfortable, affordable, memorable hideaway for a night, week or the 2010 World Cup Soccer....... STOP LOOKING! THIS IS YOUR PLACE! Thank you Gunty and Georgie. You guys are the best. Sincerely, Adam Speirs
