Coach House

Set near Agatha above the town of Tzaneen, Coach House overlooks the fertile Letsitele Valley with far-reaching views to the Drakensberg escarpment. The region’s high rainfall feeds avocado, citrus and macadamia farms, creating a lush, subtropical landscape. This historic site once served wagon trains during the late-19th-century gold rush, and today offers a quiet country atmosphere within easy reach of Magoebaskloof forests and waterfalls. Plan on roughly five hours by road from Johannesburg and about ninety minutes to the Phalaborwa Gate of Kruger National Park, making the hotel an appealing gateway for Limpopo exploration.

Accommodation comprises 39 en-suite units, including nine suites, twenty-one premier doubles and five classic singles. Each room features a private veranda facing the mountains or valley, inviting slow mornings and golden-hour sunsets. Thoughtful touches—fresh flowers, homemade biscuits and spring water—add a homely feel, while select premier rooms and suites include welcoming log fireplaces for cool winter evenings. Expect generous space, restful bedding and a calm, country style throughout. The mix of categories suits couples, solo travelers and self-drive guests alike, whether pausing en route to Kruger or settling in for a leisurely Limpopo break.

Begin the day with seasonal fruits and a cooked breakfast on the veranda overlooking the pool. Lunch and dinner at Zeederberg Restaurant showcase locally sourced produce in hearty, flavorful dishes. The Broken Anvil wine cellar offers a curated selection of South African and international labels, while the John Buchan Bar sets the scene for pre-dinner cocktails. Agatha Spa provides steam rooms, a gym and a heated pool for unhurried wellbeing. Ask for a picnic basket to enjoy in the gardens, then explore nearby trails, canopy tours and waterfalls—returning to fireside comfort and starry Limpopo skies.
