The Tsitsikamma's premium adventure base.
Adventure the Tsitsikamma by day – our own Blackwater Tubing, forest trails, ziplines and more – then land softly in luxury glamping and warm rooms, with a fire and a good dinner waiting.
Your basecamp for the Tsitsikamma
Mali Lodge sits on the edge of the indigenous forest in Storms River, right in the middle of the Garden Route's best adventures. It is the home of our own Blackwater Tubing, and minutes from waterfalls, forest trails, ziplines, the bungy and the coast.
Spend your days out there, then come back to somewhere that looks after you: comfortable rooms and luxury glamping tents, honest home-style hospitality, good coffee, fast fibre and a fire most evenings. For more than twenty-five years, this has been a natural base for adventurous couples, active families, remote workers and groups travelling together.
Softly, on the land
We try to tread lightly here, and to keep things working whether or not the grid does.
Solar-powered
A 22.5 kW solar system helps keep hot water, lights and Wi-Fi running through load-shedding.
Real fibre in the forest
Fast, reliable fibre across the property for video calls, big uploads or streaming beside the fire.
Indigenous and intact
The indigenous garden and forest edge remain part of the experience, with the lodge designed to sit softly on the land.
Where you'll stay
Lead with comfort, nature and privacy – then choose the room style that suits your trip.
