Set amidst the treetops of an age-old indigenous forest, Tsala is a lavish celebration of the spirit of Africa.
Emulating the monumental ruins of an ancient central African civilisation, the impressive stone-masonry entrance flanked by water features leads into a magnificent foyer supported by polished Blackwood columns.
The afro-baroque décor with its earthy colours, rich textures and handcrafted fittings draws inspiration from the diverse cultures of Africa, yet remains integrated with the sophistication of the Western world. Whether from the exotically appointed dining room, the intimate glassed-in lounge, or the large open decks high above the forest floor, the views are all breathtakingly beautiful, encompassing lush forests extending across rolling valleys towards distant hills.
Tsala Treetop Lodge is situated between the coastal towns of Plettenberg Bay and Knysna on the scenic Garden Route of the Western Cape. Only 10km from Plettenberg Bay and 22km from Knysna along the N2, our signboards are clearly visible at the entrance to our access road, which leads you to the security entrance of the Estate.
By Road: Tsala is approximately an hour from George, two and a half hours from Port Elizabeth, and three hours’ drive from Gorah necessitating either car rental or road transfer, both readily available.
By Air: There are scheduled flights daily to George and Port Elizabeth from all main centres in South Africa. Alternatively, charter flights to nearby Plettenberg Bay Airport are available.
 
Tsala facilities
Elevated wooden walkways meander through the trees providing easy access between the main lodge and guest suites. Experience the restful tranquillity of the forest while our discreet staff provides impeccable and personalised service.
The main restaurant building along the end of the walkway leads to the voluminous reception area, an inspirational viewpoint on arrival at the lodge, with the forest as the backdrop. The lounge area has become a firm favourite among the guests while enjoying a pre – cocktail drink relaxing with a book from the library or while checking e mails through the Wi-Fi facility located in this area. An outside deck invitingly lures the guests to peek at the cavorting Knysna Loeries, known to be very elusive.
Dine al fresco style on the deck overlooking the forest where lunches and group dinners with friends can be served during good weather conditions and if you wish you may choose your own local and international wines from our world renowned underground wine cellar.
