Believe the hype - Tsala Treetop lodge is a wonderful place. From the minute we arrived we were spoiled and enchanted by this place. Craig was a wonderful host - from our champagne on arrival to a bag of snacks to take with us when we left & everything in between. The villas are fabulous with the most breath taking... More

Being an older couple, we wanted to be Tarzan and Jane (Cheeta didn't come along) for 1 night. We got a perfect welcome by Craig and his team, felt at ease immediately. Expecting lianes, bugs and snakes, we were "wowed" entering the "room". It was just fantastic: living room with Mexican stove (lit at night), great bathroom, cosy bedroom, swimming... More

We were travelling around South Africa staying at some top hotels but this one topped the list. The personal attention to detail together with the uniqueness of staying in a treetop villa with a plunge pool marked it out. The villa was tastefully furnished with an indoor and outdoor shower, floor to ceiling windows providing a breathtaking view across the... More

We stayed two nights at Tsala Treetop Lodge in the African summer. Our suite was very big, with a woodburning fireplace, and a plunge pool on the deck. This was in addition to the huge bathroom with the indoor and outdoor showers, the balcony for looking at the forest, and a comfortable bed. Because it was summer, we lit the... More

Picture yourself in the middle of the forest. All you can see is a vast canopy of trees unfolding before your very eyes....birds of every colour, perhaps even a monkey or two, swinging from branch to branch. Imagine watching the sun setting over the trees, with the glorious colours that only the African sky can offer. Serenity abounds, and if... More

Tsala Tree Lodge is the most amazingly romantic and special place. The welcome was second to none as our luggage was whisked away, our car parked and we were given iced tea while we waited to go to our villa. Walking along boardwalks we arrived at the villa which was jaw droppingly beautiful with our own deck and plunge pool.... More

If you want to add the wow factor to your garden route experience this is THE place to stay. It has everything one would expect from a Relais & Chateaux property with the added bonus of sleeping in treetop suites (with monkeys as neighbours). Personal service, super comfortable beds, great breakfast and a really fantastic and reasonably priced restaurant "Zinzi".... More

As you walk to reception, it feels like you're entering an international resort. Everyone made us feel very welcome &I like the fact that it's not too big, so staff can give you that extra attention.
