Coral Tree Guest House: Family Comfort by the Coast

For many travelling through the Eastern Cape, the coastal city of Port Elizabeth, now called Gqeberha, has become an appealing destination. Throughout summer, warm weather welcomes beach days with ease, while winter remains mild enough for outdoor adventures. Tucked away in Parsons Hill, Coral Tree Guest House offers the kind of stay where family fun comes naturally. With its bespoke accommodation, curated experiences, and tailor-made getaways, this guest house delivers a winter weekend designed with children in mind. 

A Comfortable Home Away from Home 

Gqeberha is known as the Ten-Minute City, allowing travellers to easily move between the city centre, beachfront, and bush outings. Combine this with the rich biodiversity of Addo Elephant Park, less than an hour away, and the destination becomes a firm family favourite. At Coral Tree Guest House, every member of staff works to ensure that young guests, along with their parents, enjoy time together in comfort and adventure, no matter the season. 

The Cottage stands as Coral Tree’s bespoke family accommodation. Comfortably housing a family of five within its two bedrooms, every detail of this comfortable and cheerful accommodation has been carefully thought out. Its spacious open-plan entrance areas gently flow from a lounge space to the dining nook and a fully fitted kitchen. Within these spaces, guests can spend quality time together, while the shaded patio outside invites relaxation. Braai facilities mean fun nights by the fire, and children can make the most of their stay with the range of fun activities. A playhouse comes stocked with toys and dolls, and a jungle gym is close by.  

Renowned for its sense of homely seclusion, the semi-detached Suite boasts a spacious bedroom and lounge area, kitchenette and wheelchair-friendly bathroom. Fully enclosed and tucked into a quiet corner of the garden, this accommodation is primarily suitable for couples, but a camp cot, highchair, and baby swing are available on request. 

Child-Friendly Activities  

Coral Tree Guest House offers a tailor-made, curated 2-night winter experience designed especially for families with three under-12 children. With a focus on kids’ fun, every moment has been crafted to keep young guests entertained and engaged. 

The swimming pool is easily accessed from the rooms. Book nooks invite bookworms to curl up. Puzzles and games keep minds engaged. For outdoor fun, head to the hopscotch court. Imagination can be sparked too with the Grand Sandcastle Challenge, Fun Kit Bags, while Awards such as the Bookworm Award make young guests feel proud.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
