From the moment I discovered Tsala Treetop Lodge nestled within the lush Garden Route, I knew it was special. Elevated walkways, stone architecture, and African-inspired design conjure a harmonious retreat that feels both secluded and indulgent.  Atmosphere & Setting Surrounded by dense forests and just a short drive from Plettenberg Bay, Tsala offers the perfect balance of tranquility and adventure. The indigenous flora, ambient lighting, and woven wood-and-stone design blend seamlessly into the forest—creating an immersive, almost magical atmosphere.

Shortage of staff ( maybe )

Very friendly staff Breakfast Location

My only minor suggestion is a quick heads-up during check-in about housekeeping preferring to clean when guests are out for dinner. It led to a funny moment on our first night, but knowing beforehand would be helpful.

My wife and I spent 3 incredible nights at Tsala Treetop Lodge for our honeymoon, and it was truly magical. From seamless check-in with welcoming drinks to the moment we left, our experience was flawless. Our treetop suite was incredibly spacious with glorious views, day and night. We loved waking up to panoramic forest vistas from every room and enjoyed the private patio. Stargazing at night from our deck was astonishing. The cozy fireplace was perfect for chilly evenings. Our suite featured a comfortable living room, separate bedroom, and a luxurious bathroom with 2 sinks, a large shower, and a tub. There was even a private outdoor shower and a plunge pool, though the weather was cool for a swim. Dining was great. The staff booked us a table at Zinzi Restaurant for our first night, which we thoroughly enjoyed. For our second night, they arranged a beautiful, romantic in-room dining experience for our honeymoon – candles and a lit fireplace were standout touches. a definite highlight! We mainly relaxed in our room, but also enjoyed leisurely walks through the beautiful gardens, spotting cute animals and birds. The staff were 10/10 – their attentiveness and personalized service made us feel incredibly special. We highly recommend at least a 2-night stay to fully enjoy it; we wished we could've stayed 4, though 3 was wonderful!

Honestly, there was nothing I didn’t like about the property. Everything exceeded my expectations and made for a truly memorable stay.

I absolutely loved everything about Tsala. The service was exceptional, the facilities were top-notch, and every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. The villa was luxurious and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere was truly five-star. I had an amazing experience and would highly recommend it to anyone.

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.

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.

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.

The only thing that would make it perfect would be to heat up the pools.

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.

That I couldn’t stay longer

By far the best stay I’ve had anywhere. The property, the rooms, the view, the decor, the staff, food, everything! Down to the smallest details, from luxury toiletries and linen, to coming back from dinner with robes and slippers laid out on the bed with a handwritten poem and chocolates left to enjoy. The team of staff were exceptional, going above and beyond to make an already beautiful stay an unforgettable experience. I could not recommend this place more, and can’t think of a single thing that wasn’t 10/10. The team here have achieved perfection, and it really was a privilege to be their guest and enjoy the small piece of heaven they have created. Thank you so much!!

oh dear! nothing! easy!

This is a special place! We had not expected the amount of thought and attention to detail given to the architecture overlooking the tree canopy and the presentation of the suites. the staff were all amazing and i regret to say I didn't pay enough attention to names but the young lady with the welcoming smile and the warm and wonderful sense of humour who showed us round on arrival was wonderful and such a joy to meet on arrival. Also the lady who lit such a wonderful fire in our room deserves a special mention. However it important to say that all the staff went out of their way to make our stay amazing, including a birthday surprise of cakes. This truly is a small piece of heaven of earth! Thank you
