Eco Friendly Forest Glamping

We’re best suited to nature lovers, those wanting something a little unique, quirky, and adventurous; especially when the winds pick up and the odd thunderstorm hits. Teniqua Treetops offers one of the best romantic getaways in the Western Cape, secluded and private and yet still situated close to Sedgefield and Knysna.
Each Treetop Suite is private and hidden on the edge of the forest, becoming its own bird-hide. In the entertainment area there is a wild-fig tree that is its own eco-system. At night, if the fruit is ripe, you’ll see fruit bats enjoying a feast. During the day, Cape White Eyes, Knysna Turacos and Forest Canaries dine on the fruit. Vervet monkeys may even dare to snatch a fruit or two.
All our suites are nestled within the magnificent indigenous Knysna Forest. The suites Couples Treetop Suites are built in a gorge, so access is from ground level and the front of the suite is built on stilts ranging from two to six meters above ground, giving you breath-taking views of the Karatara Gorge or the majestic Knysna Forest.
