Rocky Treehouse Haven

The DULC Treehouse Cabin – a poetic haven nestled among gum trees and wildlife. This intimate retreat stole our hearts with its stunning exterior and spa bath. But the upstairs bedroom, framed by grand windows, stole the show - offering starlit slumbers and sun-kissed awakenings.

After checking in, we explored MacKenzie Falls, a 25-minute drive from Halls Gap. Cascading waters, sunlight, and a rainbow left us mesmerised. A beer, snacks, and breathtaking views completed the experience. Stairs going up are a workout, but worth it. We also ventured to The Balconies for incredible mountain vistas.

A 12-minute walk from the accommodation led us to the local pub, where we dined with a mountain backdrop and grazing kangaroos. We sipped wine at the cabin, anticipating a night under the stars.

Day two began with breakfast and a hike to The Pinnacle Lookout via Grand Canyon and Echo Cave. The panoramic views were a treat. We visited Paper, Scissors, Rock Brewery for cold brews surrounded by stunning scenery.

Our final night featured a BBQ serenaded by birds and rustling trees. This rustic-chic Treehouse Cabin offers a euphonic blend of tranquillity, adventure, and wildlife encounters in the Grampians. It's a place where time slows, letting you savour nature's beauty. We will surely be back to enjoy this time again.

We made it to the Top of the Pinnacle after 2kms where we walked around admiring the beautiful views and enjoying a homemade salad sandwich. Be sure to pack water and some food, this hike had a lot of steps and open areas where the sun shined on you....
