“Beautiful stay and friendly staff. attention to detail.”
The rooms are beautiful, attention to detail in everything from welcome drinks to bath bombs. There are 3 restaurants to choose from and the dinners were exceptional and different in each restaurant. Breakfast had everything and more. But the gardens are the gem of the stay. We walked the gardens and found ultimate relaxation. There are buck walking around and it felt like bambi's family were visiting. There is even a gym for exercising off the kilo's from the exceptional food.

“A little piece of paradise surrounded by nature!”
We stayed as a couple for two nights at Tsala Treetop Lodge during our journey along the Garden Route. For us, it was an absolute highlight: we arrived after dark following a very long drive and were warmly welcomed with a drink by the fireplace in the main lodge. Our private treehouse (that’s really the best way to describe our accommodation) was spacious, romantic and cozy, with a fireplace that came in handy given the evening chill, and perfectly matched the magical forest atmosphere. The next morning, the sun was shining, and we finally got to see the breathtaking views our terrace offered over the valley. It was a bit too chilly for our small private infinity pool (we visited Tsala in early spring), but it must be a real treat during the warmer summer months. And although you feel as if you’re deep in the jungle, Plettenberg with its white sandy beaches is just around the corner — really nice! The food at Tsala was really good, but the dinner on our second night at the sister restaurant, Zinzi, was simply outstanding — fine dining at its best. One tip: make sure to take a walk through the entire Hunter estate. It’s truly a little piece of paradise on earth, maintained with care and love. (And don’t be surprised if you run into a deer or a monkey along the way!) To the entire team who made our stay at this truly unique place perfect — THANK YOU!

Our expectations were exceeded, from the warm welcome at reception to the thoughtful honeymoon surprises delivered to our room each day. Everything we could possibly need and more was provided in our room. The breakfast at the main lodge became a daily highlight we looked forward to. The team and management were intuitive and attentive throughout our stay.

“Fabulous and beautiful property - the perfect place to unwind on the Garden Route.”
We visited Tsala Treetop Lodge for our honeymoon and had a fabulous experience. We actually extended our stay an additional two nights because we loved the tranquility of the location. The treehouse rooms are beautifully furnished with a private pool and amazing views. The staff were incredible and we loved the food at both Tsala Treetop Lodge Restaurant and nearby Zinzi.

“Great Hotel in the trees - you must visit”
I have stayed at this hotel before and was hoping that my family would enjoy it as much as I did. They loved it. We booked a 2 bedroom suite and it didn't dissappoint. The room on stilts overlooking the trees, with amzing views of the forest, with and amazing bathroom and outside shower and your own plunge pool. There was everything you coul think of. The staff were so welcomming and very helpful. there was such a wide selection of choices for breakfast and excellently cooked. We ate at Zinzi restaurant which was a short walk away. It is such a wonderful experience staying at this hotel, I recommend it to everyone.

Everything about Tsala Treetop lodge is outstanding. We were upgraded to a villa as there was a problem with bees in our original suite. The restaurant was also excellent.
