A romantic getaway

Creating splendid memories
Living in the dream
A break from the busy world

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.

Slow down, switch off, and settle into a private escape where everything has already been taken care of.
This fully set-up caravan stay on our property is designed for guests who want to step away from noise, schedules, and effort—and simply arrive into calm. Set among natural surroundings and thoughtfully styled throughout, the experience blends the comfort of a boutique stay with the ease of relaxed outdoor living.
From the moment you arrive, the pace shifts. The caravan is stationary and fully prepared, with beds made, spaces styled, and the outdoor area ready to enjoy. There’s nothing to organize or set up, and no need to bring a caravan or camping gear—everything you need for a comfortable stay is already in place, allowing you to settle in immediately.
Much of the experience unfolds outdoors. Spend slow mornings by the pool, long afternoons stretched out on sun loungers, or quiet evenings gathered around the firepit as the light fades and the air cools. The deck and surrounding spaces invite you to linger—to read, talk, nap, or simply sit and take in the stillness. Whether you’re enjoying sunshine by day or the soft glow of firelight at night, the setting encourages you to pause and stay present.
Inside, the caravan offers a calm, modern retreat. The interior is well-appointed and welcoming, with a comfortable sleeping area, dining space, kitchen facilities, bathroom, and generous storage. Soft tones and considered styling create a sense of ease, while practical comforts make the space feel effortless to live in. It’s cosy without feeling confined, and designed to be immediately relaxing.
This experience is best suited to couples seeking a peaceful, low-key getaway. It is not a campground, caravan park, or bring-your-own caravan site, and it isn’t suitable for parties or loud gatherings. The atmosphere here is intentionally quiet and respectful, allowing all guests to fully enjoy the space.
If you’re looking for a private, thoughtfully curated stay where nothing needs planning and everything is ready on arrival, this experience has been created exactly for that.

Sails are rigged above the tent to provide extra shade and shelter. It's private and shady but only a few minutes from the house.
The valley is a gem, only 200 odd people live here. If you love the outdoors - either just to chill or to actively recreate - this place is for you. As an outdoor educator, I have worked and played in the valley and surrounds for more than 25 years and I'm still discovering new things to see and do!
Advancetown Lake is a short drive away with paddling, sailing and fishing and no power boats or jetskis (Yeeha!!) There is a mountain bike park on the E side of the dam.

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.

Suburban Poolside Caravan Retreat
14. Suburban Poolside Caravan Retreat

Slow down, switch off, and settle into a private escape where everything has already been taken care of.
This fully set-up caravan stay on our property is designed for guests who want to step away from noise, schedules, and effort—and simply arrive into calm. Set among natural surroundings and thoughtfully styled throughout, the experience blends the comfort of a boutique stay with the ease of relaxed outdoor living.
From the moment you arrive, the pace shifts. The caravan is stationary and fully prepared, with beds made, spaces styled, and the outdoor area ready to enjoy. There’s nothing to organize or set up, and no need to bring a caravan or camping gear—everything you need for a comfortable stay is already in place, allowing you to settle in immediately.
Much of the experience unfolds outdoors. Spend slow mornings by the pool, long afternoons stretched out on sun loungers, or quiet evenings gathered around the firepit as the light fades and the air cools. The deck and surrounding spaces invite you to linger—to read, talk, nap, or simply sit and take in the stillness. Whether you’re enjoying sunshine by day or the soft glow of firelight at night, the setting encourages you to pause and stay present.
Inside, the caravan offers a calm, modern retreat. The interior is well-appointed and welcoming, with a comfortable sleeping area, dining space, kitchen facilities, bathroom, and generous storage. Soft tones and considered styling create a sense of ease, while practical comforts make the space feel effortless to live in. It’s cosy without feeling confined, and designed to be immediately relaxing.
This experience is best suited to couples seeking a peaceful, low-key getaway. It is not a campground, caravan park, or bring-your-own caravan site, and it isn’t suitable for parties or loud gatherings. The atmosphere here is intentionally quiet and respectful, allowing all guests to fully enjoy the space.
If you’re looking for a private, thoughtfully curated stay where nothing needs planning and everything is ready on arrival, this experience has been created exactly for that.

A beautiful piece of remnant forest on the bank of the Nerang River, with a swimming hole that is second to none.
The tree tent is situated in a small forest clearing overlooking the river rapids. The site has a compact outdoor kitchen complete with refrigerator, an outdoor hot shower, a firepit and a separate composting toilet. Sails are rigged above the tent to provide extra shade and shelter. It's private and shady but only a few minutes from the house.
The valley is a gem, only 200 odd people live here. If you love the outdoors - either just to chill or to actively recreate - this place is for you. As an outdoor educator, I have worked and played in the valley and surrounds for more than 25 years and I'm still discovering new things to see and do!
Advancetown Lake is a short drive away with paddling, sailing and fishing and no power boats or jetskis (Yeeha!!) There is a mountain bike park on the E side of the dam. You can walk from here to Springbrook and Lamington National Parks and the glow worms at Natural Bridge are a night time "must see".

2 nights at Crystal Creek Rainforest Treehouse
Aneta & Paul were wonderful hosts. They have fabulously set up this little gem, tucked away in the delightful rainforest. Everywhere you position yourself you can feel nature takeover your senses. The little touches from Aneta & Paul, like the freshly picked roses in vases, the beautifully lined pathway with endless colour (Impatiens) & the dimly lit fairy lights throughout, all add to the experience. Relax on the deck, take a stroll by the creek bed or try a refreshing dip in the dam, either way, you are immersed in nature!! The drive to/from this destination was picturesque, with the Springbrook National Park/Numimbah Valley views not disappointing. The locally made bread sold at the Chillingham farm produce store is highly recommended, not to mention the Crystal Creek Nursery & Cafe - just perfect! A peek of the regional township of Murwillumbah, 20 minutes from the treehouse, should also be on your "to do" list. We plan to be back :-)

We loved our stay at Undullah- Moore Farm. The Farmhouse Cottage is well
appointed with all the comforts of home but the fire pit, woodford hot tub, 4wd track and spacious, private position at the top of the hill, with its extensive views of farmland and Flinders Peak, gave enough of a feel of escaping the city. The hospitality was warm and genuine, facilities spot on and the atmosphere property itself immaculate. 10/10.

Weekend Trip to Mystic Adventures Greenbank
We had an amazing stay at this cabin! It was incredibly beautiful, comfortable, and sparkling clean. It truly felt like a magical place. The cabin was fully equipped with everything we could possibly need. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!!❤️

Weekend Trip to Mt Barney Lodge
Sitting at the base of Mt Barney and with a small creek for you to cool off and swim, very safe for kids and little ones, very close access to main hikes of Mt Barney, the hosts were lovely and thoroughly enjoyed our chats with them! Everyone else camping were clean and quiet and made for a relaxing time
No cell reception, which is great to switch off
Knowledgeable staff
Good amenities block with warm shower
Our views were looking straight at the mountain.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we have recommended to friends and family since, we will be back :)

4 nights at Turkey's Nest Rainforest Cottages
Absolutely gorgeous spot for a getaway and chance to unplug from the world and relax.
Would highly recommend bringing a bunch of board games, a nice puzzle and face masks for the ultimate relaxing experience.
Just note that the suite is attached to the main house and you will need to walk past their front door to get to and from. But Rose and Russel are lovely and the suite still felt private.
