A GARDEN ROUTE ESCAPE

SITUATED ON THE GARDEN ROUTE’S UNSPOILT COAST in the small town of Wilderness, Treedom Villas and Vardos will take your breath away. Its owners, passionate about the environment and slow living, created it to bring people closer together and to nature whilst relaxing in luxury.

Treedom offers a sense of happiness and relaxation that can only be found in a place untouched by the stress of city life. It’s the perfect blend of luxury and boho-chic – a dream destination made real. ‘We’re not a resort but a sanctuary, where you arrive as a stranger and leave a friend,’ says co-owner and founder Debbie Nortjé.

TREEHOUSE VILLA

After a day brimming with activities such as mountain biking, boating, canoeing or horseriding, you get to collapse onto a four-poster queen-size bed and enjoy a blissful sleep swathed in 100% cotton linen. You can turn the two comfy beds in the loft into a king-size if you want, or enjoy the hanging daybed in the forest, where there’s an infrared and hot stone sauna, love pool and hot and cold rain showers.

The lounge area, made for relaxation, features a comfy couch, fireplace, luxury throws and a big screen TV with DSTV, Netflix and Amazon Prime. Enjoy a good book as you gently sway on the modern floating daybed in the forest close to the fire pit.

Listen to the birds while you cook in the fully fitted kitchen with its Moroccan tiling and state-of-the-art cookware before ending your day dining alfresco at your hand-crafted dining table. Or, why not enjoy a braai downstairs in your outdoor forest lounge?

No stone was left unturned in the creation of the Treehouse Villa as owners Debbie and Marc Nortjé wanted the space to embody relaxation and luxury, making sure guests feel right at home and are treated like royalty.
