Trogon House and Forest Spa

Address: Plettenberg Bay, Plettenberg Bay

Trogon House and Forest Spa is a luxury B&B Guest House and romantic forest hideaway that caters for travelers along South Africa‘s famous Garden Route. It offers dedicated service, luxury, privacy and a stunning location near Plettenberg Bay. Trogon House comprises two adjacent lodges, Malabar Lodge & Tomba Lodge. The five rooms at Trogon House can either be booked individually or Tomba lodge can be booked for exclusive use.

The lodges are elevated into the treetops and is surrounded by forest. Built from natural stone, wood, ceiling-to-floor windows and sky-lite roofs, each room offers a unique view of the forest.

This secluded hideaway's two lodges are almost identical in design with tastefully and exquisitely decorated interiors. The utmost attention to detail has been afforded using the finest Egyptian linen, silks and crystal to complement the exotic antique and African art treasures. Ceiling windows and blinds create an inviting and romantic ambience.

Tomba Lodge accommodates up to six guests in a Master suite and two Double Deluxe en-suite bedrooms. All guest areas have fireplaces adding to the warm and cozy atmosphere. An entertainment room and spacious lounge, as well as an outdoor sitting area provide private spaces for individual guests to relax and unwind. From the enormous sundeck, guests can enjoy expansive views of the Tsitsikamma Mountains and forest.

Malabar lodge houses Trogon House's restaurant where breakfast is served. A 3 course home cooked evening dinner is available on request for guests who prefer to dine in.  Malabar is linked by elevated walkways to two double en-suite forest rooms.

The atrium designed Forest Spa with its daybed, cozy fireplace, Jacuzzi and sauna allows guests to relax in total seclusion whilst being "in the forest".

Since November 2009, Trogon House offers its guests magical experiences at the Forest Boma (private barbecue area) and the possibility to connect with nature in the tranquility of the forest.

Located between Malabar and Tomba lodge, the Forest Boma can be accessed through a ramp that connects the two lodges. Whilst the lodges are elevated and surrounded by the forest, the boma is located on ground level in the forest shielded by the canopy of the surrounding trees. The Boma allows you an experience part of the South African tradition, to share a beat during African drumming or celebrate a special occasion such as weddings for up to twenty guests.

During the day, the Boma can be transformed into a picturesque setting for a massage amidst the tranquility and sounds of the forest.

The two lodges are carefully positioned and designed to ensure that guests at each lodge have a feeling of total seclusion and privacy. An unobtrusive pathway links the two lodges making the entire property ideal for a small group or incentive.
