We were ready to leave the hustle & bustle of Melbourne behind to drive along the famous tree-lined Yarra Valley roads. Before arriving at our weekend Tree Truck, we stopped by Coranderrk Creek to listen to the soothing sound of flowing water and admire the lush ferneries. It was breathtaking.

We also decided to do one last stop by the Yarra Valley Dairy to get some tasty delicacies. Just because “The secret ingredient is always cheese”. Recharged already, and packed with treats, we reached our destination - a tiny home truck hidden in the native Australian bush. We settled in with a cup of hot tea on the deck with awe views of the towering trees. When you're in the stillness of a forest, you do not have to make any effort, you forget about your worries and simply reconnect with nature.

This Tree Truck is the perfect spot to slow down, and we therefore decided to stay the whole day enjoying this creative space. We enjoyed daydreaming on the deck, cooking delicious meals on the BBQ, and wandering through the properties walking tracks.

We woke up the next morning, perched up on the bed with sweeping views over the treetops, ready to explore the surrounding area and the Maroondah Reservoir. This special Tree Truck retreat left us feeling rejuvenated and ready to tackle another busy week. We highly recommend this Riparide for anyone looking for a quirky base to exlpore the Yarra Valley and Healesville.
