Situated just 7km away from the lively towns of George, Victoria Bay, and Wilderness along the Garden Route, Ballots Bay Treehouse offers a spectacular secluded retreat for friends, couples and families. This unique haven embraces the stunning natural surroundings, offering an immersive and upscale experience among one of the most surprising wilderness gems in the region. Ballots Treehouse stands out for its unparalleled uniqueness — a beachfront residence on the cliffside, surrounded by the serene presence of Milkwood trees.
Featuring three bedrooms on the lower level and an open-plan lounge, dining room, and kitchen on the upper floor, the getaway seamlessly connects to nature through an expansive deck. The deck includes a wood-fired hot tub, offering an ideal spot to relish panoramic views of the mountains, river, and seafront. The Treehouse is free from load shedding concerns, equipped with a 6kw inverter, 10kw of batteries, and solar panels to recharge both energy and tranquillity.
Situated within the George Private Nature Reserve of South Africa, Ballots Bay ensures a private and secure environment for this romantic escape. A remote-controlled and manned access boom guarantees that only authorized vacationers can enjoy this slice of paradise. The bay at Ballots Bay reveals a stunning pebble beach, complemented by a lagoon on one side and two wind-protected braai areas on the other, complete with toilet and shower facilities. Enjoy your day exploring the rocky terrain, skipping stones in the lagoon, or trying your hand at fishing in the sea.
Despite its proximity to nature, this location combines convenience and seclusion. Unlike other remote spots that often entail an hour's drive to the nearest shop, Ballots Treehouse is just 6km from Victoria Bay, renowned for its world-class surfing and swimming beach. Just 7km away is the Garden Route Mall, offering everything from grocery stores to cinemas and restaurants. On the other side, 8km leads to Wilderness, known for its extensive beach and beachfront dining options.

Good place to relax and clear your head; in the trees and under the stars. The location was awesome! The jacuzzi on the deck was amazing!

Great Getaway
Amazing location. Very clean. Great amenities. Fantastic for a breakaway , feels remote yet close enough to town. The house is super cozy and was fantastic for a small group of friends. Fantastic views, surrounded by mountains, a Forrest and the sea. Best of all worlds.

Ballots Bay Treehouse
5 Beach Road, Ballots Bay.
No, the beach is just a short walk from the treehouse.
Yes, there is uncapped fast wifi for guests to use if they would like to remote work.
It is a Brick lane for a car so not necessarily offroad, although there is parts where you drive a gravel road.
No, the gate can be called to open at any time for late arrivals. Thereafter they get keys and can access seamlessly. Advised to check in before dark as there are no street lights in the reserve – could be tough to navigate in the dark
Guests do need to bring their own wood, this to get the wood fired jacuzzi water hot and for braaiing down at the beach
Solar for loadshedding, everything works except the stove and oven (There is however gas for cooking ) – basically uninterrupted power throughout loadshedding
