About this space

Nestled deep within the Colac Otway bushland, this hand-built treehouse is a storybook hideaway brought to life—a childhood dream turned into an atmospheric, shoot-ready space. Constructed from volcanic rock sourced directly from the land, the space blends effortlessly into its wild, natural surrounds. Every detail—from the curved branch railings to the vintage pottery and basketry—evokes a whimsical charm with rich textural layers.

The treehouse loft, warmed by sunlight filtering through the canopy, offers elevated views across towering gums and tree ferns. At its heart is a cosy bed nook, positioned perfectly for dreamy overhead shots or intimate, styled portraits framed by the treetops. Inside, the styling is earthy and eclectic: natural fibres, indoor plants, handcrafted elements, and a palette grounded in the organic tones of timber, stone and woven textures.

Descending from the loft, a series of branch-lined steps leads to an outdoor zone unlike any other. Here, creative crews will find a fully immersive setting—complete with a stone fireplace, a sculptural tree stump throne (complete with glowing faery wings), and a sparkling crystal tree that catches the light beautifully throughout the day. The communal fire pit offers another rustic backdrop, with a generous grassed valley surrounded by tall trees, often alive with native birds and wildlife.

This space is ideal for fashion editorials, creative content shoots, short films, or nature-inspired brand campaigns seeking something a little enchanted, a little raw, and entirely grounded in nature. Its layered zones, natural backdrops, and whimsical outdoor features make it a truly versatile location, whether you’re shooting golden-hour portraits beneath the crystal tree or capturing stills beside the fire pit.

Located in Colac Otway, Victoria, this bushland treehouse escape offers a full-day shoot experience that feels miles from anywhere—yet is accessible and full of creative payoff. From first light through to the soft shadows of late afternoon, it’s a location that evolves with the day.
