Family of 5 with one elderly parent. Stairs were a challenge for our 83yo but just took our time. What a great stay we had, enjoyed being amongst the trees. Driveway a little tricky in my low car but aside from that, it was PERFECT. Do yourself a favour and explore the Dandenong from this lovely home
This house is jst amazing and the owner thought about everything you could possibly need during your stay. We can definitely recommend it and are looking forward to stay there again one day.
The treehouse is a lovely peaceful place to stay. Very comfortable and cosy, room to spread out, surrounded by leafy greenness.
The house is split level. There are stairs from the carport to the front door, and two internal flights of stairs joining the three levels.
You are requested to take your shoes off when you enter so bring house slippers. The polished floorboards are a bit slippery in socks.

I have been offering Treehouse to guests when Im away since 2014. I am an artist working in the public space in sculpture and move between Perth and Melbourne.
Why they chose this property
Sometimes this place is like a fairy tale, driving up the mountain when its misty, with the Mountain Ash in their ephemeral drapery, arriving at Treehouse and lighting the fire.. it will always enchant me, and I hope you too
What makes this property unique
It's a home built on bridge pylons and sits amongst the canopy. It requires constant love and I do most of the repairs and renovations myself with the help of partner, brother, and mates. The land is high vibration and thanks to the Bunerong people past and present.
