Honeymoon on Garden Route
One of the most unique and amazing places we’ve ever stayed! Lovely resort of treehouses built in a remote setting with all the amenities you could need. The staff were all super friendly and could not do enough to help you was an absolute pleasure to have them there. Would recommend to anybody travelling on the garden route or staying in Plettenberg to stay here it would make an unforgettable memory.

This is the best hotel I have been ever in my whole life.
The hospitality was beyond outstanding they check the room twice per day they prepare every single thing for you even the tiny details they will take care of it.
For the facility I have not seen this type of facility in my whole life, a suite on the tree this is amazing with the the best view of the mountain everything around, very peaceful.
The Clean is very very clean rooms.
There were two restaurant inside the Tesla all of them are amazing and the food is nice.
Tesla there is the bar in my experience that I would not see any hotel with this type of experience in my whole life like what they have

Fabulous spot but food a let down
This is an amazing property with 5 star facilities and service to match. It was let down by the food unfortunately but otherwise I would highy recommend this romantic spot.

8/10 Very good
Tsala Treetop Lodge is a 5 star romantic hotel set in amongst a forest of trees and overlooking a tree clad canyon. The rooms are outstanding as is the service. The view from the balcony is wonderful and the in lounge real fire was a great touch. Our room had its own plunge pool which was a bit cold but on the one hot day this was very refreshing. Service is a bit amateur but very enthusiastic and kind. The thing that let down the property was the food quality. My potjie was excellent but the rest of my party found their food dry. The omelette in the morning was greasy, smelled of overcooked oil and was virtually inedible. The choice on the buffet was good. I would stay here again but hope food gets an uplift.

Treetop Delight
We really appreciated the genuine care of the staff and the magnificent treetop setting. Dinner was good, but breakfast among the trees was the real highlight. Both the rooms and surrounding gardens were exquisite.

Absolute Perfection
Few places will match the experience of staying here. Expensive, yes, but worth every penny. The accommodation is superb and the rooms so comfortable. The grounds fabulous, service immaculate and almost guaranteed that you will see either monkeys or baboons on your doorstep. Wish I could have stayed longer.

Lives up to expectations - highly recommend.
Tsala lives up to its reputation and your expectations. It's a magical haven for R&R. The attention to detail across the site is superb. We enjoyed two nights in a luxury villa, with incredible views. The rooms are immaculate, supremely comfortable and well presented throughout, and the outdoor shower was a great surprise - nothing like waking up and smelling nature. A minor drawback is the pools aren't heated, and ours had a lot of canopy cover so didn't benefit from the sub's heat either (it's noted though that Tsala are aware of this and working on it despite significant engineering challenges!).
We dined at both Zinzi (the public restaurant) and Tsala (the guests restaurant), and enjoyed both but the latter did step it up a notch. Both are really well presented and comfortable, and boast strong wine lists. The service was generally superb, save for a few individuals that were cold and somewhat aloof (one a Manager). Given the price point of Tsala it did leave a slight bitter taste in the mouth unfortunately.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to visiting again.

Tranquil and elegant
Nestled in tree tops, nothing but tranquility and elegance surrounds you at Tsala Lodge. It was a great place to do day trips, and return for a relaxing and lovely meal. The staff was extremely helpful, particularly Karin who helped sort out our outings. This is a definite return place for us:)

Place where you can be one with nature.
It is just a brilliant place to stay. Away from all the hustle and bustle of city and not too far from it either. You need to be there to experience the difference.
Most helpful management team I have ever come across.

Beautiful Hotel in a Wonderful Setting
Tsala was a breathe of fresh air on our honeymoon - the hotel is beautiful, set in a gorgeous, temperate forest setting, with the rooms overlooking a forested ravine. The staff are very friendly, the meals are delicious and the rooms are so luxurious - the best bath I think I've ever had!! We've recommended this hotel to our parents and would happily stay again ourselves.
