Teniqua Treetops is an immersive nature escape where a selection of wooden glamping units are tucked away among 36 hectares of the Knysna Forest, within the beautiful Garden Route region. The 'tree-houses' are off the beaten track, partially off-the-grid and offer a family-friendly experience that is great for birding and hiking, with the closest town of Sedgefield being 20 minutes away.
Each of the Teniqua Treetop suites are located in a scenic gorge with access from the ground level, while the front of the units are built on stilts providing spectacular views of the Karatara Gorge and the majestic Knysna Forest. Equipped with kitchens, living areas, an outdoor spa bath, a private deck and cosy heaters, Teniqua Treetops is ideal for those seeking something a little different, quirky, and adventurous - particularly when the winds pick up and the odd thunderstorm hits.
One of the top scenic stretches in South Africa, the Garden Route offers a little bit of everything, from a pristine coastline, spectacular scenery and fascinating wildlife experiences, to private game reserves, small towns and towering mountains to explore, it's a nature lover's paradise. It's here, in one of the most famed indigenous forests of the region, where Teniqua Treetops takes centre stage.
Discover the true essence of serenity as you wake up to birdcalls and the soothing rustle of leaves, and simply embrace the peace and quiet of the forest. Guests will delight in the adventure-filled forest walks and constant proximity to nature, providing an educational and memorable experience. Whether you’re seeking a romantic couples escape, a peaceful family break or a solo retreat, Teniqua Treetops offers something for everyone.

A wonderful peaceful weekend! Perfect scenery, tranquility and bird life (saw Knysna Loerie’s everyday) and we fell asleep with fire-flies surrounding our bed.
