Our Eco Standards
We are proud to say that our beautiful trees consume more CO2 than our accommodation produces. We believe that we might be Australia’s only holiday accommodation to achieve this by their own means (rather than offsetting).
Both our residence and the chalets are eco friendly as we are totally off-grid. A 15KW solar cell array on our roof supplies a 28KW storage battery. Basically, we run off the sun between 6.00am and 6.00pm and at night the battery supplies us with our power needs. There are 610K Litres of rainwater storage on the property. The rainwater runs through two microfilters and then a UV filter before it is pumped to the chalets.
For the internal fit-out of the chalets, every light fitting and appliance we chose was scrutinised for its power usage and capacity to communicate with us wirelessly. Being able to monitor each appliances’ power usage on our mobile devices is a great help in adapting to living off-grid. We have also utilised trees grown on the farm for the beautiful Sydney Bluegum flooring, the bespoke handmade fittings in the chalets and all signage on the property.
We have tried to minimise our consumer footprint by installing dispensers for our luxury toiletries and providing a single-use plastic free first morning breakfast hamper for guests including farm fresh eggs and where possible fruit freshly picked from our orchard.
Lastly we have drawn some of our inspiration and design principles from the tiny house and minimalist movements. The design of our eco friendly chalets challenges the mindset that luxury must equal more space, more furniture, more things. Our chalets really do pack a punch when guests see all that they offer in a relatively small space.

Posted on Charles MacphersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Andrew and Fran are hard working and sincere hosts. Consequently the tree chalet experience is outstanding. The story of how they planned a gum tree plantation is inspiring and started long before the carbon footprint was on peoples mind. Comfortable, well appointed accomadation. Very relaxing and worthwhile getaway.Posted on Elaine PoolmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely wonderful location and accommodation was just excellent, the hosts have thought of everythingPosted on Kirsten BartleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the most amazing stay at Tree Chalets in Busselton! We stayed in the Bluegum Chalet and it was absolutely beautiful, peaceful, spotless, and surrounded by the most relaxing natural scenery. It truly felt like a little hidden paradise. One of the highlights was the gorgeous welcome basket filled with fresh local produce from their orchard — plums, peaches, figs, farm fresh eggs, granola, herbs and the most incredible fresh bread. Everything was so fresh and delicious, you could really taste the quality. The bread was so amazing that I had to buy some before we left! Fran and Andrew were incredibly lovely hosts. They personally came to greet us on arrival, which made us feel so welcomed straight away. They were warm, friendly and so accommodating throughout our stay. Everything about our experience was perfect and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in Busselton. We will definitely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Posted on Peter DaviesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful 4 nights at Tree Chalets. From first booking Andrew and Fran made everything so easy. The location of out chalet amongst the Rose Gums was so calm and relaxing. The Chalet was lovely and had everything we needed for a great stay. The breakfast was brilliant with local products and fresh eggs from our hosts chooks. We ordered a gourmet platter with wine and enjoyed it in the bath under the stars. Andrew and Fran are a lovely couple and did everything to make our stay perfect. We will be back. Peter and ChristinePosted on Lindie KlopperTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Andrew and Fran are the best host and open their pride and joy for us to appreciate their beautiful home and even better view. It was a quiet, relaxing weekend, taking in mother nature's best. Thanks so very much, would definitely come again.Posted on Thomas RobertTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mind blowing! I can only recommend staying there. We really had a great experience.. This place is a piece of paradise. Surrounded by nature, wildlife, it’s magic! Everything has been thought of so we only had to relax and it felt so good. We will definitely come back! Thank you so much again!Posted on Brent HadwigerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! Tree Chalets will leave any other place you will stay in shade (pun intended.) We stayed for three nights and haven’t been that relaxed in recent memory. When you arrive, the owners will walk down and spend 5/10 minutes chatting with you about the place and making sure you have all you need. After that you’ll feel like it’s your own private little forest! I really can’t say a bad word about the place and will be returning as soon as possible. Chalets 10/10 - They are bigger than they look externally and you’ll feel at home with its modern trimmings with a cabin feeling. The Property 10000/10 - You’ll see Kangaroos, listen to the wind blow and hear Birds calling all day. Then at night, 10 minutes of no light exposure will reveal beautiful stars to gaze upon. Did I mention that the Baths in each Chalet will leave you feeling like a King or Queen in your own little world. This place is worth the price you pay per night, everything has been done with the intention of giving you the most relaxing and welcoming environment possible! It almost pains me to write this cos I want to keep the place a secret!Posted on S MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tree Chalets holiday was a special celebration for my husband and I and we loved it. The property and Chalets are spectacular and comfortable with great greenery around. Andrew and Fran our Hosts were lovely and shared great places to eat around Busselton. They catered for our breakfast basket with all healthy goodies. We had an amazing and relaxing gateaway, not forgetting the beautiful clear skies at night showcasing the milky way and sparkling stars. Surely an amazing place. Will recommend this gem for anyone wanting a relaxing place to stay and unwind.Posted on Alison YoungTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had an amazing stay at the new chalet Grandis! Fran and Andrew have thought of absolutely everything. If you’re looking for a peaceful relaxing stay in nature then this is it! We can’t wait to come back thankyou for your hospitality.Posted on Emily LarkinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We absolutely loved our stay at Chalet Bluegum. It was a beautifully peaceful spot to relax and unwind, while still being perfectly located to explore Busselton, Yallingup, and Margaret River. We were in awe the whole time, enjoying our morning coffee outside while listening to the birds, tucking into a delicious home-cooked breakfast from the generous local hamper, stargazing from the outdoor bath, and so much more. It was truly magical. Andrew and Fran, it was lovely to meet you both. Thank you for welcoming us and making our stay so memorable. And a big thank you for the brilliant dinner recommendations, we loved every place we tried. We will definitely be back!
