The Tsala Story

A place of peace and harmony

A mystical, magical place that has a legendary rhythm emanating from its masterful architecture and spectacular location in the canopy of an ancient forest.

THE TSALA TREETOP LODGE EXPERIENCE

What you can experience at Tsala Lodge

Whether you wish to stay in and relax amidst the ancient enchanting forest, or to head out and explore South Africa’s celebrated Garden Route, experiencing Tsala is pure magic.

Beautifully Located

Situated in the heart of the Garden Route

Ideally situated between the coastal towns of Knysna and Plettenberg Bay in the Western Cape, Tsala is a wonderful location from which to explore the beautiful Garden Route or just to spend time relaxing at the peaceful lodge.

A must see when you do the garden route! This resort has got it all. Fantastic rooms in the trees with your private pool and completely undisturbed. Fantastic food and a brilliant wine list. The garden around is a little paradise and the lodge is perfectly located for all the attractions in Plettenberg.
