Last time we visited Tree Crop Farm had been run by Lynne, an enterprising ex journalist who tended a ramshackle old house in acres of sprawling gardens and used woofers to build cabins and a a tree hut complete with Persian carpets, velvet drapes , candles and old exotica. All madly zany but great fun, where if you stayed the night you could be well fed and have a bath in the bush in an old gold four legged bathtub heated by a fire underneath. Very romantic! My son loved to take his girl friend there for a weekends. I loved to go to be pampered
.with treats in a beautiful, natural and peaceful setting.
When we visited this time the buildings were totally overgrown and untended. The doors were open and everything was covered in junk. There were two old cars out the front. No one appeared to have been at home If they had been we wouldn't have eaten there anyway. Online advertising is still there but dates back to 2015. Tree Crop Farm appears to have changed hands. I am really sad.
The Veranda hut was so dusty and I don't think it had been cleaned in years!
No bbq as was mentioned in website and the toilet was so tiny my partner could hardly sit on it and it was open and exposed!
The outdoor bath was covered in rust and that was supposed to be the main attraction for us and the owner showed us her new outdoor bath for couples which she had filled with River water two days before and hadn't changed and it wasn't even filtered or cleaned and the bottom of it was green AND she stirred it with an old wooden oar to get the slim off the bottom and to spread the heat around OMG!!!!!
Plus we would have to get in the tub after other people had been in it and not cleaned!!
The bed was lumpy and sloped downwards and it only had a single electric blanket on one side?!!!
Not to mention that as soon as we arrived she gave us a detailed list of how WE had to do things in the hut right down to how to position the wood in the fireplace so we could not relax!!
When I complained and told her she had ripped us off because it was NOT worth the $250!!!!She told me that I was just a particular type of person omg!
I have lived and travelled all over the world and have not been in a place as dirty and uncomfortable as that so it was such a let down!
It definitely wasn't the romantic retreat that it had promised to be and to top it off in the morning when we hurried to leave as she didnt even provide a breakfast , she offered us a cheap hot pie or banana!!!
Wow!!
"These are romantic bush huts,,, no power, wood fired bath tubs, candles, roaring fires. This is escapism. Leave the laptop at home!"Read full review
"All the cabins are different so do read the description to pick the right one for you."Read full review
"We stayed in the Tree House which was like nothing we had experienced before - great views, quiet and close enough to main house, amazing!"Read full review
"The tree house is set a short distance from the main house over the garden and across a little stream. You may need a torch for this walk and it's a bit further from the shower in the main house (which you have to yourself). This gives you extra privacy and being in a tree house makes it feel utterly unique."Read full review
"Bring your own nibbles, drinks, an IPod, soap and shampoo. This is not a hotel its way better."Read full review
