Located in the beautiful Gippsland Region on 20 acres of bush land is The Magic Faraway Tree. You will feel like you're living in a storybook when you enter this space ... a residential sculpture delightful in everyway and nestled amongst the trees.

Sit on the tree top balcony enjoying the smells of native gums and listening to the sounds of local birdlife as they flit through the canopy. Or stare at the stars through the feature "star light" as you lay in bed at night.

Loved the concept! Everything was great except the duvet covers didn't feel fresh, some parts of the house was a bit dusty etc. But nothing bad enough for us to not recommend it to our friends! Kids h...onestly will love this magical place. Tips- bring slippers if you aren't going during hot weathers! The floors are quite cold.
