Description
Tsala Treetop Lodge rises from the forest floor and rests high in the treetops of the Tsitsikamma Forest. The hotel is a member of the prestigious Relais and Chateaux collection.
The rooms look out across the Piesang River valley and, with floor to ceiling views into the forest, there is a frisson of adventure and romance. The unique wood and glass structures rise to a height exceeding six metres. Each one comprises a sitting room, bedroom, spacious bathroom, observation deck and pool deck, all elevated into the forest canopy on pole supports.
Even the swimming pool, with its infinity edge seemingly flowing over into the forest, is raised up in treetops. The lounge area is a great place for early evening drinks and offers Internet access, although WiFi is available throughout the hotel. The hotel's restaurant 'Zinzi' serves sumptuous international cuisine but dining can also be enjoyed al fresco overlooking the treetops or why not take a picnic into the forest.
Located close to Plettenberg Bay, Tsala is ideally situated for guests to explore the beautiful South African coastline and can be included in a tour along the Garden Route.
