Denmark Dec 2010 - Skyhouse Retreat


It's been a while since I last entered a post. Not for lack of travelling, just lazy I guess.

The skyhouse is more like a treehouse of 3 levels made with recycled timber with lots of glass walls. Every room has a stunning view of the surrounding bushland. Staying there we felt like a modern day, yuppie version of Tarzan and Jane. The treehouse is located in bushland on the side of Weedon Hill. At the top of the hill is a collection of very large granite boulders called the Magic Circle. You can walk there via a short steep track fom the backyard.

There may be some truth to the name Magic Circle as the surrounding trees certainly seem magical. They bristle with the wind and make a deep rustling noise. Bird species abound and together with the buzzing of native bees, natures sounds make for a relaxing symphony. We felt so chilled out there.

The rythym of our day was to rise with the sun, make the fire, eat breakfast then return to bed to sleep for another couple of hours. We would then go our for a drive to see the sights and have lunch. We would return early to cook dinner and drink (lots of) Mead.

I highly recommend Skyhouse Retreat as a place to stay in Denmark. Further info can be found on their site: http://www.skyhouseretreat.com.au/
