Close your eyes and imagine taking a journey...

… through a forest on the top of a high hill. Feel the soft crunch of forest pine needles under your feet as the fresh, crisp country air fills your lungs. In view is your luxurious and stylish treehouse getaway perched in privacy.

Soak in your very own stylish outdoor bath while being romantically serenaded by the sparkling night sky or take in the views while snuggling down in the comfort of your bed with an indoor fire softly flickering nearby. The ultimate getaway.

At Nest, guests will be cloaked in nature in their very own private tree house retreat perched high among the radiata pine forest canopy. This architecturally designed and engineered retreat provides a stylish and modern escape with a twist. A perfect place to hide away from the world with a loved one or friend.
