Tsala Treetop Lodge

My wife and I spent five nights at Tsala Treetop Lodge to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and it turned out to be a truly special experience.

The lodge is located in the middle of a beautiful indigenous forest along the Garden Route, and from the moment we arrived it felt peaceful and private.

We stayed in Tree Top Suite #7, which was absolutely stunning. The suite is incredibly spacious and feels like a luxurious treehouse high above the forest. It has a large living area with a fireplace, a beautiful bathroom, and a private deck with a plunge pool overlooking the trees. Sitting on the terrace in the morning with coffee and listening to the birds was one of our favorite moments during the trip.

What really impressed us was the level of detail throughout the property. The architecture, the wood and stone elements, and the interior design make the lodge feel very unique and atmospheric. It’s one of those rare places where the reality is even more beautiful than the pictures online.

Another highlight was the food. We had dinner at the lodge several evenings and every meal was excellent. The cuisine is refined but relaxed, and the setting in the restaurant in the evening is fantastic. The wine list is also very good.

The staff were wonderful during our entire stay — friendly, attentive and genuinely welcoming.

For us it was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary: quiet, romantic and surrounded by nature, yet with a very high level of comfort and luxury.

If you are travelling along the Garden Route and want to treat yourself to something special, Tsala Treetop Lodge is definitely worth it.

From the moment we arrived, it was was absolutley perfect.

Tsala is truly unforgettable. Staying in the treetops, surrounded by forest and birdsong, feels completely peaceful and otherworldly. The setting is breathtaking, and the suites are both luxurious and wonderfully private — you feel cocooned in nature while still being totally spoiled.

Every detail is thought through, from the comfort and design of the suite to the impeccable service. The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely make you feel special from the moment you arrive. The food, the views, the tranquility — everything is exceptional.

This is not just a hotel, it’s an experience. We are already dreaming about coming back.

So beautiful ! The setting was amazing and staff lovely

Everything

Individuelle Villen mit viel Privatsphäre, sehr gutes Restaurant, extrem freundliche Mitarbeiter

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.

Stunning lodge, you feel that you are really close to nature. Great room, complete with plunge pool. Super friendly staff. We will return.

I stayed here some 20 years ago, had a wonderful time and was keen to see if much had changed. I wasn’t disappointed. This is such a special place. The villas are out of this world, offering every home comfort you could wish for & more! The bed in my Villa rivals anything the Four Seasons has to offer. The bathrooms are contemporary even though they haven’t changed in 20 yrs - timelessly aesthetic. The living areas offer additional space with a fabulous log burner and big comfy chairs with luxurious throws you just want to wrap yourself in. And finally those views! Wow! I’ve stayed in some fabulous properties but the views that greet you every morning when you throw back those curtains is just stunning.

The food didn’t disappoint either. I ate at the Tsala Restaurant and also at Zinzi. Both offered first class food along with excellent service. Breakfast was especially good at Tsala.

Thank you to John & all the team for making my stay supper memorable.

It has to be one of the most amazing places to stay, with your own private little oasis.
The staff are so helpful and nothing is any trouble
