Fantastic location in tree tops of Lorne
A beautiful location, up in the trees with a fantastic view across to the sea. The setting is amazing, so if views and birds are what you’re looking for then this is a fabulous place. We saw parrots, cockatoos kookaburras and many others! Everything one could need is available, but as mentioned in previous reviews the property is in need of a little TLC and modernisation. The driveway is steep, but very accessible and not an issue. Overall we loved our stay at Treetops.

Natural beauty
We had a wonderful time enjoying the bush, the beach, the birds and the view. You are safely away from the busy part of town but walking distance. The bird life and views of bush and ocean cannot be overstated. The house, fixtures and fittings are modest - we didn’t mind - we don’t go for glitz. The house is on a very steep block - hence the views and the treehouse name - you are in the top of trees. The driveway therefore is a steep incline and mainly for all wheel vehicles - my mother-in law had to be driven up and down as it was too steep for her to walk so do factor that into your plans. The owner is very friendly and keen to offer advice and assistance.

Rustic stay amongst trees and birds
Bad points : you will not get a car for an all wheel drive up the driveway. And even a four-wheel-drive struggled. This was in winter. When things were, I guess damp and littered with leaves. In summer, you have no problem. We had to pull our luggage all the way to the top. However, aside that beautiful little treehouse, not perfect, but amongst the trees and with wildlife. Brilliant host. Five minutes from main strip. Homely with everything you need and owner allowed our dogs, which is always a winner. Would I stay here again, absolutely! Thank you for a great stay. We will be back at minimum to see the gorgeous birds that visit the balcony twice a day.

Fantastic location
Awesome property, great location. Driveway is steep, but if you approach from the left side it's much easier. Might be difficult if there are several cars though. Would definitely recommend for larger groups, heaps of space. Just a tad big for a couple, but still lovely.

Lovely traditional holiday home.
We had a wonderful stay at this simple more traditional holiday home nestled in the trees up on the hill. Very relaxing with wonderful views and exceptional bird life. The house is spacious and tasteful with indoor and outdoor areas to enjoy the views of the trees and ocean. There is something quite special about this gem in trees.

homey relaxing cottage with nice views
We enjoyed staying at the treehouse. Very close to main towns, grocery and Lorne beach but quiet. the house had a cosy cottage feel. Nice views every morning with cockatoos right there. House was clean and equiped with what we needed for our stay. The host was excellent with communication and instructions.
