NEWS © Dave Rolfe © The Aspinall Foundation INTRODUCING THE TREEHOUSE HOTEL Port Lympne Wild Animal and Safari Reserve is excited to announce the launch of its muchanticipated Treehouse Hotel this June. With a view never before seen in the UK, experience the height of luxury in these unique treehouses with a 30-mile vista over the English Channel and roaming rhino below. Ensconced in the tree canopy, high above the 600-acre reserve, the glass-fronted suites reflect their stunning natural surroundings whilst offering space, comfort and serenity away from the everyday buzz of life. Designed by renowned interior designer, Tara Bernerd, the interiors are simple but chic, offering a natural retreat using colours and materials that complement the environment and ethos of the Port Lympne Reserve. Perfectly designed for four people, the treehouses boast two bedrooms, a bathroom, and an expansive open-planned sitting room and kitchen, which lead out onto a private balcony. Guests can take in the glorious sunsets and listen to the sounds of the reserve below. Whether you're after a family break, a romantic getaway or a fun weekend with friends, there really is something for everyone. The Treehouse Hotel is the ideal UK getaway not only for its unmissable views, but also for the various activities, fun and relaxation that can be had whilst staying at the reserve – the treehouses even come with their own golf buggies. 14 Guests at the Treehouse Hotel can enjoy a VIP safari with animal encounters along the way and be given a once in a lifetime opportunity to feed the special family of gorillas. For those a little more energetic, additional activities include archery, fishing, zorbing and cycling. Alternatively, guests can opt to go down into the reserve and enjoy a tranquil fireside moment in the Treehouse Relaxation Hut. An experience not to be missed, guests can rest in the knowledge that their weekend away will be the height of indulgence at the ultimate treetop retreat. www.aspinallfoundation.org/shortbreaks/treehouse-hotel
