Tsala Treetop Lodge, Cape Town

Location: Off the N2, 10km West of Plettenberg Bay, Cape Town, ZA

Amidst the treetops of an age-old indigenous forest, Tsala is a lavish celebration of the spirit of Africa. Impressive stone-masonry entrance flanked by water leads to a magnificent foyer. Earthy colours, rich textures and handcrafted fittings are inspired by the diverse cultures of Africa, with the sophistication of the Western World. Breath-taking views, whether from the intimate dining room, glassed-in lounge, or large open decks high above the forest floor. Tsala is, in every sense, a magical place – encircled by lush forests and breath taking views from everywhere, superb unobtrusive service and dining to match, whether at the renowned Zinzi Restaurant (SA's Top 100), the Tsala dining room or in the privacy of your suite. Staying in your own private elevated hideaway is romantic and adventurous, along with its perfect location in the heart of the Garden Route.
