The Treehouse Villa is a triple-story, 2 bedroom luxury boho-chic self-catering space where brides and their ladies can get ready together. The two covered patios offer a great space for hair and make-up with natural light which your photographer will love.
The covered forest lounge and outdoor fire pit area are utilised for pre-dinner snacks and drinks and after the reception, guests can hang out on in the lounge or daybed swing and dance under the stars and relax next to the fire.

Our 2 luxury Gypsy Vardos (wagons) have been designed to give you the Gypsy magic experience that is signature to Treedom. Staying in our Vardos you and your guests will feel like “Kings of the Road” living in your “horse-drawn” vibrantly painted palace, without the horse of course. Artistry and dedication to the building craft are a big part of the Vardos and each one is completely unique and has its own story. The self-catering Vardos are more than just a wagon, they offer an enchanting and luxurious experience you will always remember.

The world Debbie and Marc have created at Treedom, is just their hearts being put on a show in the way they do best. An immersive, engaging and enchanting experience, designed to do one thing – spread joy and happiness and unique magical experiences.

I started planning our wedding last year July and with that I started looking for honeymoon accommodation. We initially only booked our honeymoon at Treedom Villas & Vardos. I remember the day clearly, Saturday 4 September. I was sitting on the couch, watching something on youtube when I saw Debbie’s post on Facebook about Treedom hosting small weddings – Inelza McCallaghan

There will never be enough words to say how much we appreciate everything you did for us on our special day – especially me as the bride. You and Marc helped take an idea, a dream, and turn it into a reality that was even better. You both managed to perfectly portray our personalities, and make this chapter of our love story even more exciting! Marc and Debs, none of this would’ve been possible without you guys and the love and passion you have given into every inch of Treedom as a venue, and into every person who walks through your doors. You have found a way to bring endless magic to us muggles and for that, we are eternally grateful. We will never be able to say it enough but thank you for being you, for being the most incredible people we have ever met, and for being such a blessing on our special day. – Tam & Alex

A beautifully intimate, romantically elegant wedding is what we were hoping for at Treedom Villas and Vardos… And what we got was exactly that and WAY more Magical… Food was oh so nutritious & simply divine. Staff fantastic, best Photographer, organised by Debbie. One of the most treasured moments was the planning initially though. Debbie “My Fairy God Mother” is what i call her, organised dresses for me to try on along with my own which was beyond fun giving me that special “Say Yes to The Dress” moment. A special bond for lifetime was formed. I literally had zero stress I could just focus on marrying my man and making magical memories that day thanks to Debbie of course! Treedom holds a truly irreplaceable place in our hearts. We Thank You, may the Lord continue to bless you – Wendy & Dino
