Pure magic among the treetops
As you follow the Garden Route, between Knysna and Plettenberg Bay you pass ancient native forests and several historic estates. There lies Hunter's Estate, a private estate full of exuberant greenery and rich wildlife. From the cobblestone Garden Route, you plunge pardons into the magic of an ancient forest full of giant trees. Tsala Treetop Lodge is tucked among the treetops and offers stunning views of a large overgrown gorge. The architecture is inspired by African traditions and the enchantment of ancient cultures. The decor of the suites is warm and stylish through the use of natural stone, wood, earthy fabrics and hues. Open the large windows and listen to the sounds of birds and baboons in the surrounding greenery. Sometimes they scream loud and clear, sometimes the forest whispers and twitter. Where the world can't find you...
Luxury suites and villas
High in the canopy of Tsala Treetop Lodge, life is surprisingly lush and romantic. Have breakfast on your own terrace high among the treetops, enjoy a sundowner on the lounge terrace in the late afternoon, and then sample delicious culinary creations with global flavors and fine South African wine. Meanwhile, make your plans for the next day, as there is extremely much to do here: from blissful relaxation around the lodge to extremely sporty day excursions on land or sea. Finally, back at your lodge, you can listen from your private splash pool as night descends over the forest.
