Are you itching for a long weekend escape? Fancy trying something utterly different from the usual? Have you ever dreamt of living in a treehouse, nestled high above the ground, surrounded by nature’s tranquillity? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then the Ballots Bay Tree House might be the adventure you’re looking for. This unique getaway offers more than just a place to stay; it provides an experience that will linger in your memories, inviting you to live out your childhood dreams with a touch of modern comfort and the wild beauty of nature as your backdrop.
Close yet remote, the Ballots Bay Tree House is a unique getaway because it is only a short drive from George on the way to Wilderness. But the road is so steep and adventurous that when you arrive, it feels like you have been on a short and exciting road trip. This short road trip acts as a purifier, stripping away the weight of worldly concerns.
When you arrive at the “Ballots Tree House”, you must climb around seven steps to reach what we call ‘Tranquillity Base’. You can truly unwind: get comfortable, kick off your shoes, and breathe in the fresh coastal air.
Preparing Your Wood-Fired Hot Tub
The wood-fired hot tub will take about 12 pieces of wood and 2 hours to get hot, so we recommend filling the tub with water and starting the fire upon arrival
(only light the fire after the tub is adequately filled with water). Remember to put the cover on so the heat stays inside. Every 10-20 minutes, add a piece or two of wood and stir the water.
Inside the Ballots Bay Treehouse: Comfort Meets Rustic Charm
The Ballots Bay Tree House is also a great getaway because it is remarkably cosy and resistant to bad weather. You can easily get lost next to the fireplace, comfortable leather couch, and a good book. This also makes the Ballots Treehouse an ideal winter weekend escape. The Treehouse feels generous and clean, and the wooden floors remind you what an authentic luxury cabin experience is all about.
When the weather is great, the Treehouse shows its true beauty. Spend some time on the rocky beach, take a hike from the shoreline, or enjoy a magnificent braai area as idyllic as it gets in the Garden Route. Invite friends to come and visit for the day and turn this into a once-in-a-lifetime experience to remember.
The actual bay is so close to the Treehouse that you can watch your kids play on the rocks from above. Just 10 meters away, the bay offers two braai areas on the beach: one is sheltered from the wind, and the other brings you right up to the ocean’s edge, ideal for enjoying the perfect weather days.
A powerful solar system gets your through any power outages and ensures the power stays on, even when Eskom is off.
Local Wildlife and Important Regulations to Keep in Mind
It’s also an excellent spot for fishing and observing the marine life. Just remember, a fishing license is required if you’re planning to fish and must be shown upon request. As a note of caution, since Ballots Bay is a protected nature reserve, bringing pets is prohibited. Also, there are baboons in the area, so always ensure that doors and windows are securely closed and latched when leaving the house to prevent unwelcome visitors.
