The pictures and description don't do this Tree house justice!
We arrived late on a Tuesday afternoon, with the hopes of getting away from the hustle and bustle of suburban life, the traffic and internet connectivity. Tara and Guillaume's Tree house filled our every desire - and the wintery backdrop made our stay that much nicer!

We thoroughly loved our time at the Tree house! The sea views, simplistic lifestyle, peace and quiet was just what we were looking for. We enjoyed the Picnic walk, but recommend wearing old clothes and shoes you don't mind getting wet - especially if it has just hosed down 10mins earlier. I ended up slipping and sliding on my way down some of the slopes - much to the amusement of my partner. :-) You also cross the stream a few times, but some rocks can become slippery - especially if you are the second person to cross. :-) The driveway loop is also a good walk... you don't actually realise how steep the driveway is until you have to walk it! :-) The walk to Te Toko look out is also pleasant (once you have recovered from the drive way (ha ha)), but don't look down when you get to the platform. You will know what I mean when you get there. :-)

We did not try the local restaurants, instead, preferring to eat 'in'. The two burner gas cooker was all we needed for our meal prep, whilst the internal heating, candles and outdoor lighting created the perfect ambience. The outdoor dining table, perched on the deck, in the pine forest, overlooking the Tasman sea was a setting we only saw in movies or magazines. Tara and Guillaume are very nice people too. I had to make a late night visit... while we were enjoying the sea views over a bottle of wine, we failed to realise the door locks behind us. eek! Needless to say, they were both very kind and accommodating with our plight. :-)
We only stayed two nights, but wished it was two years. Enjoy your time at the tree house - we thoroughly loved it and will be back again!
