Introduction

Set amidst the treetops of an age-old indigenous forest, Tsala is a lavish celebration of the spirit of Africa a luxury Garden Route Lodge.

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.

Whether from the exotically appointed dining room, the intimate glassed-in lounge, or the vast open decks high above the forest floor, the views are all breathtakingly beautiful, encompassing lush forests extending across rolling valleys towards distant hills.

This Luxury Garden Route Lodge is a member of both Relais & Chateaux and Chaine des Rotisseurs.

Rooms and Suites

Tsala Treetop Lodge has elevated walkways that lead you from the central lodge to your suite, where intimate luxury awaits you. Your private suite is warmed in winter by a cosy, ceramic fireplace, open to both the bedroom and lounge.

Tsala's substantial freestanding bathtub comfortably fits two adults and on your private wooden deck is a private rim-flow plunge pool, with views across the treetops into the broad valley below.

Cuisine and Wine

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.
