‘Treetop Living, Wildlife Haven’

The retreat has 230 acres of private tropical forests filled with all sorts of fascinating wildlife including the musky rat-kangaroo, the smallest and most primitive kangaroo in the world, the platypus and several species of butterfly. Enjoy treetop views from specially handcrafted pole and timber treehouses. These comfortable dwellings include a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom with a large spa bathtub and separate shower, lovely furnished living and dining areas, a private balcony, wood burning fireplace and king size beds.

In Our Opinion

A self-catering property that not only gives you private cooking facilities but the choice to enjoy a breakfast hamper each morning and a wonderful private dining experience in the treetops at LEAF Restaurant (extra charge for both services).

LEAF Restaurant
For a reasonable price, enjoy a private dining experience in the treetops at Rose Gums' own restaurant. Children’s meals are also available and bookings with your selection from the menu need to be made by 16.00.
