SAMBUCUS — the family flagship

Sambucus is the only wooden-clad two-bedroom treehouse in the collection, and it is the one that most families will want. Two king-size bedrooms mean genuine separation between adult and child sleeping spaces — no one is tiptoeing past a travel cot in the living room at 10 pm. The daybed in the living space can be made up as an additional single bed on request, bringing the total capacity to five.

The vertical timber cladding sits lightly in the woodland — Sambucus looks, from a distance, as if it grew there — and the south-facing deck, fitted with child-proof railings and balustrade panels, catches the morning light earlier than any other treehouse on the estate. In spring, that deck at 8am, with the canopy waking up below you and a small person eating toast in the sunshine, is one of those parenting moments you take a photograph of and look at for years.

Sambucus is the treehouse for families who want two distinct spaces, a generous deck for outdoor meals, and the deep woodland immersion that the timber-clad design provides. It is one of the most naturally camouflaged of the seven treehouses — the one where, once you're inside, you feel most surrounded by the forest.

KANNA — the bold one-bedroom option

Kanna is immediately recognisable. Its curved turquoise metal cladding makes it the most visually distinctive treehouse in the collection — the one that children fixate on in photographs and ask to stay in specifically. It is elevated on timber stilts with a private balcony and access stairs, set among pine trees that frame the structure on three sides.

At one bedroom with a king-size bed and a daybed that can be made up in the living space, Kanna is sized for a family of three: two adults and one young child or baby. The newly installed child-proof decking on the private balcony means that the treehouse's most spectacular feature — its elevated position in the canopy, with views through the pine trees that feel genuinely high-up and genuinely wild — is now safely accessible to small people.

Kanna is the right choice for families with one young child who want a treehouse that feels like an adventure from the first moment. The turquoise is not incidental. It signals something about the spirit of the place — bold, individual, entirely its own.

LIBERTY — step-free, spacious, the original family treehouse

Liberty was the first TreeDwellers treehouse designed from the outset with accessibility and families in mind, and it remains the only one with step-free access throughout — from the ground-level entrance to every room and the wraparound deck. That distinction matters for families with pushchairs, for guests with mobility considerations, and for parents who simply don't want to be navigating stairs with a toddler on their hip.

Its distinctive curved architectural form — wider and more generously proportioned than the one-bedroom treehouses — gives Liberty a different quality of space. Two king-size bedrooms, a large open-plan living area, and a wraparound deck that catches the afternoon sun make this the right choice for families who want room to spread out. With the daybed added, Liberty sleeps five.

Liberty is for families where accessibility matters, where a pushchair needs to reach the front door, or where the under-8 in question is very much a toddler rather than a child. It is thoughtful in a way that is rare in high-end outdoor accommodation.
