Giving a whole new meaning to the lyric, 'give me a home among the gumtrees,' a treehouse hotel can provide both a unique accommodation experience and the opportunity to be surrounded by stunning natural beauty. Here at Flight Centre, we've put together this collection of the most spectacular tree houses situated around the world.
