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.

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. Words do not do it justice come and see for yourself the Red Cabin is gorgeous YOUR RED CABIN IS PERFECT AS: A romantic getaway Reconnect and spark up your relationship Getting back to your playfulness Get closer to your friends and family Creating splendid memories Living in the dream A break from the busy world and do nothing just chill Technology detox if you wish Let your pet enjoy We are looking forward to welcoming you to our Treehouse and The Red Cabin soon, Aneta and Paul

Weekend Trip to The Hidden Gem

A true hidden gem. If you want to disconnect for a while, enjoy beautiful scenery and wildlife this is the place. Gorgeous site, well kept, great modern facilities including a lovely big open deck our lounge area. Rain or shine, bases are covered. The kids are sure to love feeding the kookaburra's in the morning or evening, swimming in the waterhole to cool off, reading in the tree-top hammock or kicking the ball on the lovely green grass. Our dog came home exhausted from swimming, bush walking, rock hopping and playing with our kid. Can't go wrong.

2 nights at Crystal Creek Rainforest Treehouse

Aneta’s and Paul’s Rainforest Treehouse experience was the little getaway we needed. Their home is absolutely beautiful, with stunning surroundings and a calm and peaceful atmosphere to it. Their treehouse came equipped with all the facilities you would need and the additional touches of cutlery, plates, cups etc was a perfect opportunity to not worry about pulling all the camping equipment out. The amenities were clean and the treehouse itself was very comfortable and it definitely had a glamping feel to it, without the expensive price tag. We would absolutely recommend the accommodation to anyone and give it 10/10 stars! We will be back.

Weekend Trip to Crystal Creek Rainforest Treehouse

The red cabin was really a hidden gem. The room was very tidy, although the kitchen and bath were outside, they were still well maintained. The location was easy to find, we were able to enjoy our privacy and still get a stunning view. I especially enjoyed the creek near the site, there were no midges, and the water was clear and peaceful. Will visit again, highly recommended.

Weekend Trip to Crystal Creek Rainforest Treehouse

Wonderful weekend at the "fairy treehouse" as a first step to ease the girls into camping. Outdoor kitchen and bathroom facilities is a real charm, even in the rain. By nightfall my little one wanted to go catch a frog with me (it was raining). Thanks for the memories, Aneta & Paul!
