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.

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.

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!

2 nights at Crystal Creek Rainforest Treehouse
I had the most magical stay in the Treehouse! Such a beautiful area and a stunning backdrop - I loved waking up to the sounds of birds and enjoying a cuppa on the deck. There is a dam on the property for a refreshing dip and the best toilet/shower set-up. Honestly, couldn't recommend this stay enough and although there is access to shops close by, I would recommend bringing some food with you and letting yourself enjoy nature for a few days 🌿

Weekend Trip to Crystal Creek Rainforest Treehouse
Our stay at the treehouse was everything we needed for a peaceful reset. Nestled on a beautiful property near Springbrook National Park, we were surrounded by the sounds and sights of nature, pure tranquillity. The space felt private, serene, and perfect for a night by the fire, a homemade dinner, and a cosy board game inside. We had everything we needed.
The fairy lights twinkling around the treehouse and the beautiful flower garden made it feel truly magical, like stepping into a little hidden haven. The owners were so lovely and welcoming, clearly pouring so much passion and care into both the treehouse and their property. They made us feel right at home and shared some great local recommendations, including a refreshing swim at Hart Bridge and a coffee and plant shop at a gorgeous nursery café down the road. Plus, we loved saying hello to all the friendly cows on the way there!
It was the perfect nature escape, peaceful, thoughtful, and full of charm. We couldn’t recommend it more.

We stayed for two nights at the Crystal Creek Rainforest Treehouse and absolutely loved it. From the moment we arrived, it felt like we’d stepped into our own little hideaway in the rainforest. The setting is so peaceful — surrounded by trees, bird calls and nothing but nature.
The treehouse is cosy, well set up, and had everything we needed. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the Aneta was very friendly and super helpful. A really relaxing and unique getaway — we will definitely come back!

We LOVED "comfy camping" at the Aneta and Paul's rainforest treehouse. Set in a magical location in the middle of a rainforest the treehouse was an absolute charm. Aneta and Paul were fun, friendly hosts who had thought of everything - from twinkling fairylights, to the best indoor/outdoor shower ever! Sleeping is inside, nice and cosy, cooking and eating is outside - under cover if you prefer, but all hidden away in the most peaceful spot. Sure, there are some stairs to manage to get into the treehouse - but we were four adults, aged 76, 70, 64 and 40+ years. And we loved it. Indoors a combustion heater kept us toasty, with ample firewood provided, while outside we built a fab open fire and sat around it in chairs provided. An extra special treat was the amazing spiritual healing sessions I booked for my niece and myself with Aneta and Paul - we'll be back!! Thank you Aneta and Paul for sharing your little piece of heaven with us - we look forward to coming back! Highly recommend this getaway for those who like their camping a little more "comfy".

Hubby surprised me with a get away to Paul and Aneta’s treehouse in the mountains to say it was an amazing weekend and exactly what we both needed. These guys have an amazing space that just lets you unhook from daily life forget what happens and remember what’s important. Don’t think twice! The hosts are amazing! The place is amazing! Wow just wow was what we found ourselves saying all weekend.

Amazing hidden spot, we had an awesome time with my two teenage boys and our dog, the site is quiet, tidy and the tree house is a dream come true. Went for a short walk down the creek, paddled on the water pond just 30 mtrs away from the house and enjoyed a fire in and out of the house. The house was neat and tidy, small but comfortable enough and having the kitchen area below and separate toilet was fine also, a hot shower in the evening was comforting also. We drove to the closest town only 15 min drive - Chilinngham that has a local pub/shop and basketball court with petrol available also, and only 30 min on our way back, we checked out the natural bridge park, which is worthed and an easy walk on a safe track for only 45 minutes. Annete and Paul were great with communication and respecting privacy. Id love to come back probably during summer to enjoy the water pond more for a swim and paddling. Thank you guys!

This is our second time to the treehouse and we will be back again. The kids loved exploring the area and making fires. The dog had a ball too. It's ideal for having a camping experience without the hassle of packing too much.
Thankyou Paul and Aneta for another memorable stay.
