4 x Treehouses built into woodland overlooking a series of waterholes along a grassy valley. The four treehouses feature en-suite bathrooms, wooden decks with insulated canvas walls, sliding glass doors and windows, showcasing the trees in which they are perched.
Each room has a decked openair balcony that is part of the treehouse. Room configuration is two treehouses each with kingsize beds and two each with two double beds. King bedded rooms also feature an outside shower as well as the one inside and they also feature an ‘eagles nest’ separate deck at the end of a short walkway.
The twin rooms have a slightly larger floor area and larger balconies but have only an inside shower. From their
treehouses guests are able to view wildlife visiting the waterholes in front and wandering below them.
