This idyllic three-story treehouse sits amongst 17 acres of subtropical rainforest and organic gardens, surrounded by fruit trees, native animals, and views of both the ocean and rainforest. It is “ideally suitable for couples” but sounds like there’s room for more guests if you and bae really want to share the experience. There is an outdoor stone bath on the lower level you can fill with naturally filtered rainwater, optional yoga classes, and modern appliances, and yet there are eco-friendly and recycled appointments throughout down to the “state-of-the-art waterless and odourless resource-saving toilet”.
