About this property
The Treehut: perched in the Bush with bird song
Perched in the bush and only 30 meters from the sea, this cosy split-level house offers a peaceful relaxing setting, complemented by a large deck and a great view. This property is an original bach and offers great value and a simple holiday experience. The Treehut is elevated and NOT suitable for under 6's and with the elevated steps leading up to the deck probably could be to much for anyone over 70yrs old and any lower body disabilities. Its a bach that has been in the family for a number of years. Really suitable for the adventurous. The home is 70's bach but with some modern takes. Any questions call Tracey 0274209650 for help.
