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.

The best treehouses near Tamborine Mountain guide
Where to go
Along the Gold Coast
The world-famous beaches of the Gold Coast are just a 40-minute drive from Tamborine Mountain. Check into a seafront campsite and spend your days swimming, surfing, and sunbathing along the sandy beaches, or head to Surfers Paradise to kayak around the waterways and experience the legendary nightlife. Family campers will find entertainment for all ages along the coast, from theme parks to wildlife sanctuaries.
Gold Coast Hinterlands
Tamborine Mountain is well-situated for exploring the surrounding hinterlands. Head south to hike in the Numinbah Valley and admire glow worms at the Natural Bridge in the Springbrook National Park. Or, for the ultimate hiking adventure, trek through UNESCO-listed rainforest and enjoy backcountry camping in the Lamington National Park.
Brisbane and the Islands
Urban campers have options in Brisbane, and the city makes a strategic basecamp for discovering the surrounding islands. Cruise out to North Stradbroke Island to pitch your tent on secluded beaches, or catch the ferry to Moreton Island to dive the Tangalooma Wrecks and drive along the beaches in a 4WD. Further north, Bribie Island is an idyllic escape for campers, with remote campsites reachable by boat and kayak.
When to go
Coastal campers looking to escape the summer heat will find temperatures slightly lower in the hinterlands, but expect high humidity and frequent showers from December through April. The winter months (June through August) are the most popular time to explore, with warm, mild weather ideal for hiking. Weekends are always busiest, and popular attractions can get crowded, but it’s still worth visiting at this time to enjoy the markets.
Know before you go
- There is no camping in the Tamborine Mountain National Park. Camping permits are required to camp within Queensland’s national parks and must be reserved in advance.
- There is no public transport to Tamborine Mountain, and you will need your own transport to explore the hinterlands and national parks.
- Tamborine Mountain has a selection of shops, restaurants, and artisan producers, so you’ll have no problem finding options for eating and drinking. Gas stations and supermarkets are in the area, but for specialist camping gear, head to Brisbane or the Gold Coast.
- Fire bans are common in Queensland during summer and dry periods, so be sure to check local recommendations and always use designated fire pits.
