The location is perfect. It's so close to Sassafras and Olinda for those lovely village vibes, the amazing bakes at Proserpina Bakehouse, and under 5 minutes to Sherbrooke Forest, while still being just a 15-minute drive from the Belgrave Woolworths for groceries. Yet, despite being so convenient, it genuinely feels like it's tucked far away in a mystical mountain ash forest. Just off the main road down a quiet lane sits the most welcoming treehouse. I loved the split-level design built right into the trees, where absolutely every view out of the windows is pure greenery. I could easily spend hours on the balcony just staring into the forest and listening to the magical birdsong. The interior design is beautiful—the choice of colors, textures, and all the subtle, loving touches are what make this place so special. The kitchen is also well-equipped for most holiday cooking, and the overall cleanliness is top-notch. Check-in was smooth and completely hassle-free. Lorenna is a wonderfully personable and approachable host; we really appreciated her sharing details of the house’s renovation process over the years. You can truly feel her warmth and love for the treehouse through those stories. I highly recommend the Sassafras Treehouse to anyone looking for an easy, relaxing getaway into the forests of the Dandenongs.

Beautiful treehouse amongst the trees , felt like you were in the middle of nowhere but so close to town.

We lived everything!

The house is nestled amongst the beautiful quiet forest, with serene views from every window. The living area has a lovely fireplace with views of the top of the trees. Just gorgeous!
