The Treehouse – A Secluded Forest Escape in Hunter Valley

“best place to bliss out in nature”

- Jane, May 2020

A Hideaway for Romance, Family Time & Unforgettable Gatherings

For couples craving a secluded escape...

Slow mornings start with coffee on the deck, the mist weaving through towering eucalypts. Afternoons invite slow soaks in the private bathhouse, side by side. Evenings? Wrapped in a blanket by the wood-burning fireplace, sharing a bottle of wine, the forest humming all around.

For families seeking a nature-filled adventure...

Watch the kids skip stones in the creek, spot kangaroos from the deck, and gather for campfire chats under a sky full of stars. With room for up to 8, a fully equipped kitchen, and plenty of space to roam, it’s a place where memories are made—without the Wi-Fi battles.

For friends looking to reconnect...

Settle in with great company, long conversations, and an outdoor bathhouse under the stars. Cook up a feast, pour another glass, and let the crackling fire do the rest. Out here, the only schedule is your own.

Sleeps up to 8 guests | 2 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom + Private Bathhouse | 1 Living Space

Whether you're planning a romantic couple’s escape, a forest getaway with friends, or a slow, nature-filled break with the kids, The Treehouse offers a peaceful retreat in the treetops — complete with a private bathhouse, fireplace, and dreamy views in every direction.

Fire closeup marshmallows in Hunter Valley

Breathe in, slow down...

The fire’s crackling. The bath is steaming beneath the stars. And somewhere nearby, a kookaburra is laughing into the morning light.

Up here in the treetops, time moves differently.
No rush. No noise. Just you, your people, and the forest.

The Treehouse books out quickly — and for good reason.
If you’ve been craving stillness, this is your moment.

Conditions of Booking – Keeping Carawirry Wild & Wonderful

We keep things relaxed and easy at Carawirry, but there are a few simple house rules to help protect the land, wildlife, and experience for everyone.

Smoking Outdoors

✔ If you smoke, please do so outside, away from doorways and windows.
✔ Butts in the bin, not on the ground—no one wants to find those lying around.
✔ Fire safety is serious business—especially in dry months. A single ember can spark real trouble in the bush.

Humans Only

Carawirry is brimming with wildlife, and we’d love to keep it that way. Please don’t bring pets—even the well-behaved ones.

Don’t worry, resident wallaby Skip will cure any furry friend withdrawals.

Be Drain Aware

The only thing that should go down the toilet is toilet paper (well, and the other obvious stuff).

A blocked drain in the middle of the forest? Trust us—you don’t want that.

It’s Cool to Be Kind

Respect your fellow guests—Carawirry is a place to switch off and slow down.
Keep noise to a minimum between 9 PM and 9 AM—nature’s soundtrack is already a cracker.
Stick to your space—please don’t wander into other guests’ areas.

Cancellation Policy – Life Happens, We Get It

We know that sometimes, plans change. Here’s how our cancellation policy works for all bookings—so you know exactly where you stand.

Standard Cancellation Policy (Except “"Lock It In Eddy" – Non-Refundable Rate”)

2. Cancel outright and forfeit your deposit payment.

No cancellations, refunds, credits, transfers, or changes are permitted within 14 days of arrival.

Any credit received is for its monetary value and does not guarantee the same dates or rate. Your credit is valid for one postponement only, and no refunds will be issued for the rescheduled stay.

"Lock It In Eddy" – Non-Refundable Rate

This 100% non-refundable, non-transferable, and non-changeable rate is for those who love a good deal and are locked in, no matter what.

Full payment is required at the time of booking.
No refunds, date changes, or transfers—under any circumstances.
