Tsala Treetop Lodge is ideally placed to explore the wonders of the marine world, though it has to be said that guests here find it hard to tear themselves away from the comfort of their suites, set high up in the trees. As a Hunter Hotels property and member of Relais & Chateaux, service and comforts levels are assured.
Above the forest floor, the ten exclusive and private suites of Tsala Treetop Lodge are linked by meandering wooden walkways and share the lofty canopy of Tsitsikamma's primal forest in a symphony of wood, glass and water. Each suite has a private infinity pool, airy wooden decks and lavishly appointed bathrooms as well as outside showers.
In the evening, the intimate sitting rooms and library, stocked with collectable books on natural history and tales from the past, form tranquil and atmospheric havens of quiet. Dine on open wooden platforms amongst the encompassing trees, or in the acclaimed dining room where carefully prepared and exquisitely presented dishes of both local and faraway flavour combines the tastes of Europe with the traditions of Africa.

Guest Testimonial
We appreciated knowing the travel specialist (Katie Sims) from the previous A&K holiday. The hotels in Grenada and Cordoba were excellent.
The Renfe trains from Grenada to Malaga were very impressive. On time, comfortable and fast. ![]()
