Upper Crystal Creek, NSW · 9 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
unique comfortable Treehouse or Red Cabin
You are very welcome to our 53 acres of lush forest, with meadows, green rolling hills and crystal clear mountain creeks. Leave the busyness of everyday life behind and enter the relaxing and soothing atmosphere of our patch of heaven. Here you can reconnect, restore and reenergise.
Perfect for:
A romantic getaway
Getting back to your playfulness
Reconnecting with friends
Building a strong connection to your children
Creating splendid memories
Living in the dream
A break from the busy world
Technology detox
This is your perfect retreat.
The rainforest Treehouse is situated in a rainforest pocket of the Mount Warning Caldera, completely surrounded by lush and vibrant nature and sheltered from the outside world, while being just 2 minutes away from us and the comfy road that will take you to an amazing swimming hole, cafés and the nearby town.
Once you enter the Treehouse private drive you will feel yourself being transported into a magical world of gently flowing water, natural light, tall trees, chirping birds, rustling leaves, crickets, and frogs.
You will notice the energy shift into the safe embrace of our land, protected by Springbrook Mountain.
The location of the Treehouse was chosen by our then young children. We all fell in love with the magnificent camphor laurel tree growing at the edge of the seasonal creek.
We all found ourselves drawn to that place, so with the help of our friends and our children we began the project of manifesting a dream into a reality - the dream of living in the tree canopy.
As we worked on the Treehouse, the design was constantly changing. The whole family, especially our youngest son, contributed to the manifestation of the dream. During that time we overcame many obstacles and found solutions to build in the tree. It was an adventure, a lot of fun and we learnt a lot.
It became a dwelling for our kids for a period of time, until they grew up and left to conquer the big wide world.
Now it is here for you to enjoy, to reconnect with your dreams, to dive deep into your childhood playful memories where the world of fantasy and reality merge together.
Here you can just be yourself, embraced by nature and view at the world from your Treehouse verandah.
THE RED CABIN
We are also proud of our very special Red Cabin with its magnificent mountain view. it has been created with dedication and love. And again it is thanks to our daughter this time. She has found the perfect spot for you so you can immerse yourself in nature in the shade of lovely trees, taking flight with the eagles above Springbrook Mountain, lifting up and rejoicing life. The vibrant tantric red colour of the cabin will fill you up with new energy and freshness. it is supplied with clean, luxurious linen and towels. The daring bathroom allows you to bask in a bubble bath while enjoying your favourite beverage watching the stars. That beautiful experience will be enhance by the symphony of the surrounding nature.
The cooking and dining area is set up for your highest comfort and equipped with everything you need.

Way Way retreat was well priced, so easy to book and go to after a last minute booking. The spot was quiet clean and so beautiful with the surrounding bush land and animals coming out to do their thing in the night and early morning. Site 7 is unpowered and off the grid which suited us perfectly! Would 100 percent recommend.

Ben has an amazing place , have already told my oldies to stay a few nights in their caravan .
Swim across the river to the Old butter factory is fairly easy even for the 4 legged friends .
We stayed on the reserve part which is about 80m walk to the river and a lot more shade up there too as there isn’t shade down on the river view camp area so can get abit hot over the Australia Day weekend .
All in all an awesome place to stay
Thanks Ben for having us

5 stars for the stunning setting (beautiful river with clear water, sandy bottom, big gum trees and various birdlife) and for the proximity to Sydney. 2.5 stars for the camping facilities: the electric fence (for cows in the next door property) wasn't turned off until a few hours after our arrival for the long weekend, and there were a lot of cow dung patties and attendant flies. Nice to have flushing toilets with toilet paper but these had no lights to see in them, a few broken locks and no vacant/occupied signs on the outside. There were very few kayaks and paddles but this wasn't advertised so we hadn't brought alternatives. No firewood though that was promised. And as other reviewers experienced, falling tree branches including green leafed ones (ie not just dead branches you could check for before setting up tents). We had a lovely time on a hot summer weekend, with kids and adults hanging out in the river most of the day. But for the price, it would be good if these things could be sorted. Overall, still recommend as a great nearby camping option, but come prepared.

Great camp area with lots of space. Unlike some camp grounds, we were not crammed right next to other people. We had lots of room and good privacy. Kids loved being down at the river and using the kayaks. Bring a shovel to clear the cow poo away from your camp area and get in early to find a level spot. Bring your own toilet paper as they had none for the first two days that we were there. Good spot - I will come back.

I almost didn’t want to leave a review because this place feels like one of those spots you want to keep to yourself. But it would be unfair not to.
A beautiful, safe, and quiet space with plenty of room and all the facilities you need. The location is phenomenal, and the hosts are relaxed and easy to deal with.
I genuinely felt relaxed the entire time I was here which is rare.
I’ll definitely be returning many more times in the future.

This spot is beautiful! We stayed in our caravan on the Upper Terrace as we passed through Bellingen and it was so peaceful and quiet.
Ben was great in checking in on us and giving instructions on where to camp and information about the property.
The kids had a blast swimming in the river and seeing the cows across the river bank!
Would stay here again!
