The Garden Route, South Africa

Tsala Treetop Lodge

Soulful Lofty Luxury

Amidst the treetops of an age-old indigenous forest, Tsala Treetop Lodge is a lavish celebration of the spirit of Africa located in the heart of the Garden Route a short way inland from Plettenburg Bay

A stylish treetop lodge hotel sits aloft a tall coastal forest, blending Afro-Baroque décor’s earthy colours, rich textures and handcrafted fittings with opulent luxuries and the fabulous setting. 10 private suites are tucked into the canopy, extending into the forest with private decks and infinity pools. There are also six lavish two-bedroom villas which also gain large lounges with a fireplace and dining area.

Meals at Tsala are exquisitely presented in the glass-walled dining room, but for those wanting to enjoy the morning sunshine, the spectacular dining deck, suspended above the forest floor, is the perfect spot. For a casual a la carte lunch and dinner, the award-winning Zinzi Restaurant is just a stroll from Tsala.
