Treehouse description
The Eyrie Family Treehouse is built like a huge safari tent right in the middle of the woods. It is about 8 meters off the ground and promotes eco-friendliness. Despite this, it is still quite comfortable for it has all the basic amenities that guests may need to ensure that they'll have a hassle-free stay, even though they will have to cater for themselves.
There is a queen-sized bed and a double bunk bed for sleeping, a fully-equipped kitchen for cooking and storing food that you can buy from the nearby village, a dining area with tables and chairs, a lounging area with a barbeque grill out on the veranda, and a fully working bathroom.
Before you come here, however, make sure that you bring your own charcoal and meat for grilling, books and magazine if you want to pass the time reading, binoculars to see the sights even more clearly and things for the beach just in case you may want to visit the coast.
Also bring your sense of fun and adventure too, because you'll most definitely need those here.

About the area
The Eyrie Family Treehouse is nestled in probably one of the most amazing locations in the world. And though it is quite isolated, it is still quite near to some wondrous scenic and tourist spots that you can check out during your stay.
One of them is the Outeniqua Nature Reserve which lies in the middle of a high-rainfall and a dry region. Due to this, it is home to quite a number of species – plants like proteas and ericas, for instance; and animals such as klipspringers, grey rhebucks, leopards, and eagles – that makes the whole area an ideal place for exploration and sightseeing.
Another place of note is the Goukamma Nature Reserve that is a short drive from the treehouse. It consists of an area of about 2500 hectares with a 14-kilometer coastline and a 1.8-kilometer marine protected area.

Most definitely, staying at the Eyrie Family Treehouse will be more than worth it with all the things you can do within and outside of it.
