Very tranquil and serene spot for a short break from city life. Safe and secure. Sit on the verandah and enjoy the sounds of the birds and flowing river. Owner is very friendly and goes the extra mile to make sure her guests are comfortable.

The lodge offers a variety of cosy, thatched chalets designed for comfort and relaxation. The Self-Catering River Chalets accommodate up to four guests with a double bed, bunk beds, a fully equipped kitchen, and a private braai area.

Surrounded by lush greenery, the property is home to diverse wildlife, including the Western Barn Owl and African Clawless Otter. The occasional call of the African Fish Eagle adds to the lodge's natural charm.

The Treehouse River Lodge sits on the Sterkspruit River within the lush vegetation of Shongweni Valley.
On the premises guests will find the Western Barn Owl, which nests in the trees above the chalets, while the Sterkspruit River is home to the African Clawless Otter, who make an occasional appearance in the early morning and late afternoon.
If you listen very carefully while relaxing on your private terrace, you might even hear the cry, and see, the magnificent African Fish Eagle overhead.
There are a range of activities, sights and experiences to discover within Shongweni Valley, just a few minutes walk or drive from the Lodge, as well as in the adjacent Valley of a Thousand Hills, named after the thousands of hills that tumble down to the mighty Umgeni River, which flows from the distant Drakensberg Mountains like our very own Sterkspruit River.
Just a few minutes drive from the Lodge, through the sugarcane fields off JB Macintosh Drive, lie the magnificent Wekeweke Falls, which cascade down a canyon next to the railway line and flow down into the Shongweni Dam.
The Shongweni Farmer’s & Craft Market is just 5 minutes up the road and open every Saturday 7am to 1pm and also on the last Sunday of every month 8am to 1pm. The market has a unique atmosphere, with a range of foods, family fun and entertainment.
Hillcrest is the nearest town to The Treehouse River Lodge. Here guests will find several shopping malls, major department stores, coffee shops, and more. It’s just a 25 minute drive from the Lodge for those looking for urban retail and dining.
Pheulu Safari Park is 25 minutes from the Lodge, up Old Main Road, featuring views of the Valley of a Thousand Hills, as well as guided game drives through the Phezulu Conservation Area, Segway tours, and a crocodile and snake park.
