This rental is described as a wilderness and nature based experience in a treehouse. IT IS DEFINED AS NON HABITABLE AS IT IS A TREEHOUSE. The Treepod is a generic name given to our Treehouse. Friends and volunteers who visited coined the name after staying here and so, in the end, the name stuck! Please bear in mind that officially is not a ‘habitable dwelling’ but rather a handmade glamping pod focused on a nature based experience.
Kinabalu is managed as a Private Conservation Park in whose main aim is to conserve, repair & regenerate the rainforest.
Come lend a hand if you have a green thumb! If you like plant a tree or two. We have many seedlings on hand. :)
A 4WD vehicle is required for driving the 3km mountain giant forest drive to reach the Kinabalu. This service is provided for you by arrangement within reasonable hours so that when you arrive at Kinabalu, all lifts arriving to & final departure from the pickup point come at no extra cost to you. This is included. A modest FEE WILL BE CHARGED for pickups from Byron Bay, or airport ($75).
The Treehouse is an absolute delight. When I'm not writing & I don't have visitors or volunteers it is made available for you so is only available when unoccupied by family, friends or volunteers.
Nestled in the trees it overlooks the virgin jungle at the end of a valley to gaze onwards looking to the vast ocean. It's a dream!
Please note you are in the middle of wild nature here so be prepared for lots of wild creatures. They are a part of the experience. Ie insects, mice, possums, wallabies and snakes etc. we do our best but we are in their turf and some folk are not used to them.
Cooking facilities are provided by two gas stovetops, microwave & toaster. Basic condiments provided i.e. Olive oil, butter, salt pepper. Tomato sauce sometimes more. :) There is also a Weber Barbeque available for your use.

THE PROPERTY
Surrounded by a Rainforest Sanctuary & Nature Reserve, you have absolute privacy and one of the most extraordinary locations of the area and in Australia. Listed as in the top twenty nature-based treehouse experiences, this is a (nature) lovers retreat. Anyone who loves pristine walks into old-growth forest or swimming in the sparkling secluded waterfalls this is it.
Please bear in mind that being off the grid, building this Treehouse ‘cabana’ has been a challenge due to its location and difficult access. As a result of much labour, you get one of the most extraordinary locations in Australia. It has been quite an achievement to build this over the last 20 years . . now focused on the garden - still plenty to do.
The area is loved for its lush green growth, abundant water with its many waterfalls, and picturesque scenery. Not to mention the area’s fabulous beaches. Please take note that we are in the middle of a mountain forest jungle. All care is taken but you accept full responsibility of your own health and safety. This is, in legal terms. A primitive campground. Enter at your own risk.
Inner Pocket Nature Sanctuary is filled with the most extraordinary array of birds, animals & insects. This is in the middle of virgin wild nature. For some, this could be frightening. So be prepared. Bring walking shoes, insect repellent, a torch & a raincoat and a torch. You never know!
Be aware, I repeat, that because it is an unconventional building it is to be assumed to be, in legal terms, a 'primitive camping site', a treehouse, or glamping cabin and be aware it has no rails & concrete pathways. It is jungle law here. You enter these premises AT YOUR OWN RISK.
All care taken, however, BY AGREEING TO COME TO STAY HERE YOU HEREBY TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL SAFETY. THIS IS WILD JUNGLE HERE SO BRING YOUR WALKING SHOES!
