Trailfinders View
Built within a canopy of indigenous forest, Tsala is a romantic, secluded, and unique hideaway. Elevated wooden walkways meander through the trees to ten exclusive suites and six luxury villas, all with private plunge pools and large outdoor decks. The added privacy from the surrounding canopy allows you to embrace the sounds of nature in a peaceful setting. After a day of either exploring the nearby town and beach, or unwinding at the property, dine at either Tsala or Zinzi restaurant, and enjoy delicious cuisine. This is a very special property, offering an intimate and unforgettable experience.
Please note: No children 11 & under.

Trailfinders' Ollie Brownlee-Jones gives an insight into Tsala Treetop Lodge, Plettenberg Bay
Tsala Treetop Lodge, Plettenberg Bay Expert Review
Ollie Brownlee-Jones
The service at Tsala Treetop Lodge was great and so attentive, but the main highlight are the rooms themselves. There's no lead in room here, they're all to the same incredibly high standard with the balcony overlooking the valley a particular highlight. The restaurants had a great standard of food and a nice ambience. A special highlight was the breakfast which I found to have a really good selection. You're also able to use the facilities of the neighbouring 5★ Hunters Country House including dining at their restaurants and walking around the expansive grounds.
Whilst the hotel has all the facilities you need it isn't large, having a closer more intimate feel than a lot of the others in the area and you rarely see other guests, aside from mealtimes.
Top tip: The outside pool has great views and the decking/balcony get good sun during the middle of the day but the pool isn't heated so won't be comfortable to use outside of peak season.

Trailfinders Hotel Classification Guide
Modest accommodation with basic facilities, representing good value where price is the main priority.
Simple, comfortable accommodation and facilities offering good value for the destination.
Good standard of accommodation and/or facilities and overall a higher level of service may be expected.
High international standards of accommodation and facilities where luxury and quality of service are priorities.
Indicates that the property offers a higher than average level of accommodation and facilities when compared to other properties of the same classification.
Unique, often smaller and sometimes historic properties, which offer individual charm and are consequently very popular. They offer the standards of accommodation indicated by their classification but rooms may be smaller than average and not all facilities may be available.
Trailfinders classifications are for your guidance only and do not mirror any international "star rating" system. In each case, the full description of the property should be read and used in conjunction with the classification indicated. A 3★ city hotel, for example, may be more expensive than a 4★ if it is in a prime location. Classifications are unique to a destination and can reflect local or regional variations in quality and service, so a 5★ in a particular area may not be comparable with a 5★ elsewhere.
