Synergy Treehouse

$$$$ | 70 Mountain Rise Rd., Scarborough, South Africa Fodor's Choice

This magically situated, architecturally innovative, self-catering house with automatic frameless glass doors and integrated shutters is a sophisticated option for a family or two couples traveling together. There are ample indoor and outdoor lounging areas, greenery everywhere, and walkways between the trees, which convey a sense of being in a treehouse, albeit a very chic, very grown-up one with floor-to-ceiling glass walls, wood-burning fireplaces, alfresco shower, and a splash pool with loungers. The fully equipped kitchen is decked out with Smeg appliances, and there are a few useful if perhaps unnecessary distractions, such as a TV and Wi-Fi.

Pros

  • Great contemporary design and a marvelously verdant setting
  • Complete independence and privacy with terrific views of the sea
  • Weekday rates for much of the year are pretty reasonable

Cons

  • Although you can see the sea, you're not as close to it as you might wish to be
  • Weekend and holiday reservations are expensive and hard to get
  • Some might feel that the house's techno-sophistication is out of sync with the surrounding nature
