Storms River Forest Lodge

Storms River Forest Lodge is a three-star guesthouse in Stormsrivier, set among the indigenous forest of the Tsitsikamma. The setting gives the property a quiet, nature-focused character, with tall yellowwood and stinkwood trees, forest sounds and the misty conditions associated with the area. The lodge provides a base for exploring the Tsitsikamma section of the Garden Route.

Accommodation is arranged across several formats, making the lodge suitable for different kinds of stays. Ensuite options include a garden room for two, a double room for two and larger king rooms sleeping up to four. A room with shared bathroom facilities provides a simpler alternative, while dormitory beds cater to travellers seeking budget-friendly accommodation and a social setting.

The property also offers safari-tent camping for guests who want a closer connection with the outdoors without bringing a traditional tent. The twin and queen tent setups use shared ablutions. For families or larger groups, the private guesthouse sleeps six and includes a fully equipped kitchen and living area, allowing a more independent stay.

The atmosphere is relaxed and informal, with accommodation suited to couples, families, groups of friends, solo travellers and outdoor enthusiasts. Room names draw on local trees and wildlife, reinforcing the lodge’s connection to the surrounding forest. The mix of private rooms, shared accommodation, safari tents and a self-contained guesthouse gives the property a practical choice of styles rather than a single hotel format.

Stormsrivier is well placed for outdoor activities in the wider Tsitsikamma area. Adventure options associated with the lodge include a canopy tour, kayaking and lilo trips, black-water tubing, Segway outings, quad biking and the Bloukrans bungee experience. Activity bookings can be arranged through the lodge, making it possible to combine forest accommodation with a programme of active excursions. The property is best suited to travellers who value a natural setting, flexible accommodation and easy access to adventure activities.
