A private outdoor deck and small private infinity pool feature in all suites and villas at Tsala Treetop Lodge. Each has a living room with a fireplace, a complimentary bottle of port, and a mini-bar. Bathrooms feature chic free-standing baths, and bedrooms have views over the forest canopy. We visited Tsala Treetop Lodge for our honeymoon and had a fabulous experience. We actually extended our stay an additional two nights because we loved the tranquility of the location. The treehouse rooms are beautifully furnished with a private pool and amazing views. The staff were incredible and we loved the food at both Tsala Treetop Lodge Restaurant and nearby Zinzi.

This former power station is located in Knysna and offers sunny suites with an iPod docking station and views of the Knysna Lagoon. The spacious sun deck comes with an outdoor pool.

The rooms at Turbine Hotel & Spa are elegantly decorated with light fabrics and parquet floors. The suites have a satellite LCD TV and extra long beds. Absolutely everything to like about this hotel. The location on Thesen Island the views, the friendly smiling staff and their willingness to assist in any way. Quite location but with everything on hand. Not just a mini bar but a well equipped kitchenette and a nice touch with a fresh lemon on the chopping board. Just perfect. Even the loo had a view!

Nestled between mountains and forests in the heart of the Garden Route, Fancourt Hotel offers luxury accommodation and features 3 Gary Player designed golf courses and a wellness centre. George Airport is 7 km away. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our exceptional stay at The Manor House..so much so that we intend returning during winter this year. Every staff member was welcoming and thoroughly professional and our luxurious suite was one of the most enjoyable experiences that we have ever experienced in the Western Cape. Thank you for considering our request for a quietly located suite..
