Diamond Waters Treehouse Retreat is a multi-award winning facility with two eco-luxury Treehouses, spectacular wetland walkway and river side birdhide, and campfire facilities. The business is an example of where tourism has extended beyond the principles of sustainability to the point where the resources of tourism have been used to turn back the clock and substantially regenerate the native environment.

We are Advanced Ecotourism and Climate Action Business Accredited to ensure the highest possible quality amenity and service. Described by NRMA Open Road Magazine as "where eco-cottages meets Vogue Magazine" the Treehouses overlook the pristine Camden Haven River and protected wetlands sitting under the gaze of North Brother (Dooragan) Mountain.

The Retreat is just 500 meters walk to a secluded beach and bounded by five national parks and reserves. We are just two minutes drive to the local village with superb restaurants and local produce. Within five minutes drive there are superb bush walks including the amazing Diamond Head Loop walk (2.5 hours) with its spring wildflowers and whale watch sites (July-October). Further to the north (35 minutes drive) international guests can be inspired by the work of the world renowned Koala Hospital and the attractions of a large regional centre.

Also on site is a bespoke wedding and events centre (The Fernery) where is you arrange a destination wedding, health and wellbeing retreat or a separate place to work with hi speed wifi. They provide the perfect holiday destination for a romantic weekend, or a great location to escape-discover-relax and experience rewilding. There is a wonderful rain forest garden, coffee bar and extensive herb and vegetable gardens to graze from. Coffees, herbs and vegetables from the gardens are free for Treehouse Guests to enjoy.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Dear Pete and Kerry, We feel reluctant to tell everybody how beautiful your little paradise is, because we would like to keep this place for ourselves😉. But sharing this experience is better. It’s a unique spot, created within the environment of a rain forest. A place to cherish. Thanks for your hospitality and coffee moments with you both. Best Renards, Piet and Thea (the ones who walked 17 km….)

Kerry & Pete were incredible hosts for our Wedding at the Fernery. From first meeting, we were warmly welcomed to what is a stunning hidden gem on the NSW mid-north coast, and our minds put at ease with planning a wedding within 12 months. The Fernery is perfectly setup with gorgeous gardens and facilities, which worked seamlessly with the caterers and gave the perfect backdrop for our dream wedding with so many amazing nooks and places for our guests to mingle. Despite wet weather in the few days prior, Pete prepared the grounds to ensure our guests had dry feet, and the dress preserved for an outdoor ceremony in their 'green cathedral'. The treehouses are built with no detail overlooked, incredibly comfortable and cozy, with gorgeous wood fires for a romantic night in after the excitement of our day. We will be back, and are so grateful to our amazing hosts. Diamond Waters Treehouse Retreat should not be overlooked for a perfect weekend away.

The success of the wedding was in our opinion largely due to warmth, organisation and relaxed attitude you guys brought to it. We were so pleased to have been a part of it. And we are so happy that you enjoyed the Treehouses as part of the experience

Peter is a great host and makes a great coffee for morning chat time! Very obliging in switching off the cottage wifi for me, and I switched off the power to the smart TV, because I am adversely affected by EMF. It was a very peaceful and comfortable place to stay, in a beautiful environment and accessible to stunning coast and countryside.

The treehouse retreat is such a hidden gem! The cabin is built up amongst the trees, so you are completely surrounded by nature. I woke up to the sound of the birds and enjoyed sitting on the deck while taking in the stunning natural view. It was a treat to wander the property too and check out the gardens and nearby river. The treehouse itself was clean and stylish with lovely wooden floorboards and a spacious bathroom. Oh and the bed was so comfy! It really felt like a home away from home. Internet worked well so I was able to stay connected while also feeling a million miles away. It is the perfect getaway from city life, I am looking forward to staying again.

We had a wonderful stay at this Nature retreat. The facilities were amazing - very spacious and clean with a full kitchen and washer. We were surrounded by a magical forest with birds and other wildlife everywhere. So close to the river as well! Peter gave us great ideas about what highlights to do while in the area. We loved our stay here. Thanks for the morning coffee and magical oyster sunset.

Such a beautiful place. We really enjoyed our time in the tree house. The kids were able to explore the surroundings and discover many animals. The tree house is great, furnished with attention to detail, we lacked nothing. The soundscape was fantastic, pure nature and relaxation. In addition, very nice hosts who sweetened the start of the day with coffee and many excursion tips. It was not easy for us to leave after three nights, we would have liked to stay longer in any case.

This was our third visit to this fabulous place and it was like coming home to friends. Pete and Kerry are wonderful hosts and so passionate about what they do. The houses themselves are stunning, in an Eden-like environment carefully managed to promote the development of wildlife. New developments since our last visit are a neatly constructed bird hide at the water's edge, and a secure, non-intrusive walkway. For those planning a wedding, the facilities are absolutely beautiful and I would highly recommend it as a location. We are bewitched by the atmosphere of the Treehouse Retreat and it is always the first thing that is inked in on our next itinerary! We will be back to see you soon, and thank you again for such wonderful hospitality.
