Sassafras Treehouse Private home in the Dandenong Ranges, Victoria

Welcome to Treehouse I'm Lorenna and I have offered Treehouse for guest stays since 2014. We do most our own renovations here: I personally replaced all the decks with hard wood in 2019, with a hand on the structural stuff from my sculptor mate Nic Compton, The kitchen I replaced in 2023 with my Jussy bro-bro, and my beloved Matthew and I painted through out in 2022. So this home comes as a growing labour of love. 2023 has seen the replacement of sash windows by Cockatoo Tim, the kitchen renewal by bro and me, and the new portico by Cockatoo Tim and myself. Barb looks after the cleaning and set up for you when you come. She loves the house and we are lucky to have her soft but meticulous touch to the house. Set-up is an an underrated art ! Homes that live in temperate rainforests need constant up-keep but we feel the home is much loved even though it always needs a little 'phoomphing' somewhere. A little about myself: I'm an artist living between Perth, Western Australia and Melbourne, Victoria. I have many Public Artworks throughout Western Australia. I also do readings that reveal much about a souls journey this life through the science and art of Moon Astrology, I am commencing to make Artworks to order based on the moment of your birth and where all the influences were active at that moment - Its a fascinating journey ... one of growth and ultimate Healing. In the coming months you will see some examples hanging in Treehouse... Actually all the art in Treehouse is original made by the local birds, myself, and artful friends. If you have any queries I try to be available to respond to your enquiries within the hour though after 8 pm it will be the next morning

It just flows.... From the front door entry, down 3 split levels to the misty and mystical views across the Sassafras gully. Like a bridge, Treehouse is built on big timber pylons, the home cantilevers off the side of the valley. This home is for the serene and peaceful at heart, and when you enter, you will feel you could just sit down and write your book, or at least a poem. Actually we have a regular guest who IS actually writing a book ! Treehouse is a 4 minute walk through a leafy flower-filled lane to the village. Walks abound. The hearth awaits.

The neighbourhood is divine, you can walk through the neighbourhood past large estates full of forest and flowers. Alternately there are national parks nearby ... and if it's coffee and breakfast you seek then it's a 400 metre walk to the quaint village of Sassafras. I can't not mention Proserpina bakehouse at Ferny Creek - Scrumptious indulgent pastries! and lastly the 4 minute walk to 'House of Fras' for a wonderful dinner of wood fired pizza to all things 'dining'....enjoy everything is close leave your car in the carport and explore local !
