Best Honeymoon destination in SA!
We stayed in the Bottle Treehouse on the last night of our honeymoon, and was extremely disappointed that we did not get there earlier!
The treehouse is beautifully decorated with handmade woodcarvings!
The mist rolling in from the mountains and the surrounding trees makes this the most romantic place I've ever been!
We had a lovely dinner with our hosts, and the breakfast was brilliant!
I'll recommend this place for everyone going on honeymoon, or just looking for a romantic weeke ... more

Totally relaxing.....
We found the venue and room incredibly relaxing, to the extent that we feel more relaxed after two days than a week in another establishment. To hear the birds in the tree's canopy (instead of a TV) was extremely peaceful and it was great to leave the city stresses behind. It's location is convenient within the Midlands Meander and we thoroughly enjoyed driving the quiet roads as opposed to the busy toll road - one easily forgets the traditional lifestyle that exists just meters from t ... more

We had such an awesome time.
We booked the Fantasy Tree house, which was so unusual and charming. It really brought up memories from our childhood, with all the hand crafted features, windows and doors. It offered total privacy and beautiful scenery. The hosts, Ralph and Charmaine were fantastic! The homemade food, scrumptious and plentiful. Definitely worth a visit!

Description
Live life out on a limb!! Stay in one of our secluded Treehouse. Watch the sun rise and set over Giants Castle in the Drakensberg from your sculptured bed, six meters up in a large oak tree. Order your meals and winch them up to enjoy on the deck. Treehouses inspire dreams, and represent freedom from adults and adulthood, from duties and responsibilities, from an earthbound perspective. If we can't fly with the birds we can at least nest with them. This country guesthouse with sloping lawns is the first stop on the Midlands Meander from the northern approach. Drive in through an avenue of splendid Sycamore Trees to the Guesthouse and Tea Garden. The garden provides quiet privacy for gentle walks, bird watching and views of the Drakensberg. This is a scenic part of the Kwa-Zulu Natal Midlands, green in the spring, lush in the summer, with drifts of colorful leaves in the autumn, promising a crisp cold winter - a time for log fires and old brown sherry. Dine Alfresco on carefully prepared local produce in the summer or before a log fire in winter. Eat from sculpted furniture made from local woods. We have secure parking and electronic gates.

The Romantic Treehouse for Two: This Treehouse is built 6 foot up in an old oak tree therefore the house is
small because it is only in one tree. It sleeps two in a double bed, has a Jacuzzi bath (Spa in the Sky). The shower with doors that can open to make a indoor/outdoor shower for the summer, toilet and basin. There are two decks that are held on to the tree with thick ropes so not to harm the wonderful tree. The Treehouse gives a feeling of movement & sounds that a ship would make. From the decks one can hang the hammock high up into the body of the tree to laze and see the leaves or the stars at night.
There is a kettle for tea or coffee and a small fridge to keep your champagne cold.
Breakfast served in our main guest house on the patio high up with view of the rolling hills and the Drakensberg Mountain.
