 A THANK YOU GIFT TO ALL OUR TREE HOUSE GUESTS WHO BOOK DIRECT: RECEIVE COMPLIMENTARY FRESH BREAKFAST PROVISIONS Provisions Include: Fresh sourdough bread, milk, country farm eggs, orange juice, butter, cherry tomatoes, 2 x cereal brands, tea, coffee and sugar. For use in your fully self contained kitchen. TO CLAIM Simply Cite "Breakfast Offer" In Your Booking Notes To Claim BOOK DIRECT HERE: https://www.treehousehideouts.com.au/book-now.htm TERMS * Offer applicable to direct bookings only. (Not applicable on any bookings made through 3rd party booking sites.) * Delivered once only before stay (not daily if staying more than one night).  WHY BOOK DIRECT? WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?
While we understand that third party booking sites are quick and easy at times and we've all gotten used to booking whatever is on the first page of google, we need to be more aware that when we book with a third party site, we are all sending profits abroad, undercutting hard working locals and making things even harder not only for our children's future but for all Australians who are trying to offer independent, lovingly run accommodation options. WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT? We can all do a lot more than we realise. Resist the instant convenience of booking the quickest link you see on google. Find out the contact details of the place you'd like to book and contact their front office. They usually have competitive deals and are happy to offer loyalty rewards. Try to always book direct, wherever you choose to stay, by finding the official website or calling management. Thank you for supporting small business. Enjoy the fresh breakfast as our thank you gift. Renovations are complete at Heygarth House Echuca!

Riverboats Music Festival and Winter Blues in Echuca has hosted the biggest names in music for many many years over summer/winter and continue to grow.
For both festivals, the two Treehouse Hideouts residences at Heygarth House Echuca and Charleston House Mathoura receive enquiries many many months in advance.
Now that we've renovated the down stairs residence at Heygarth (4 bedrooms, movie room, FSC kitchen, courtyard and bathroom with deep claw bath,) we now offer accommodation for 15 guests. For those preferring a quiet couples retreat after a day and night of music, stay upstairs in the king room as a separate residence (leaving the second residence available for another group of 8/9).

‘Gorgeous.’
Sally Seltmann is the award-winning Australian singer – songwriter behind intoxicating albums such as ‘Hey Daydreamer’, ‘Heart That’s Pounding’, ‘Somewhere, anywhere.’ and ‘The Last Beautiful Day’. She is the co-writer of the hit song ‘1234’, performed by Feist. Sally Seltmann previously performed under the name New Buffalo, and is a member of Seeker Lover Keeper. Sally Seltmann’s first novel ‘Lovesome’ will be published by Allen & Unwin on 24th April 2018.
In 2017, Sally performed shows at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Fairgrounds Festival, as well as a run of Parlour shows.
In 2016/ 2017, Sally and her husband Darren Seltmann composed the music for the ABC TV show The Letdown. Sally released ‘Dancing in The Darkness’, a song which featured on the show, and also went on to win Best Original Song Composed For The Screen, at the 2016 Screen Music Awards.
2016 also saw the release of ‘Better Place’, a song Sally Seltmann co-wrote with Rachel Platten. ‘Better Place’ was released as the third single from Rachel’s album ‘Wildfire’, an album which peaked in the US Billboard 200 charts at number 5.
In January 2015 Sally launched her independent record label Three of Hearts. To coincide with the announcement, she released a single called ‘We Are The Music’. The song premiered on the US website Idolator.com, and they described the track as a ‘dreamy pop anthem’.
In February 2014, Sally Seltmann released her fourth studio album ‘Hey Daydreamer’. Produced with her husband Darren Seltmann, ‘Hey Daydreamer’ premiered on American Songwriter.com. The album was released in North America through Arts & Crafts, in the UK / Europe through Lojinx, in Australia through Caroline, and in Japan through Rallye. Rolling Stone described the album as ‘a beguiling listen, a pop album with a vibrant twist, embellished by dream-like string arrangements’, and Mojo magazine gave the album a glowing 4 star review. Shortly after the release of ‘Hey Daydreamer’ Sally toured Australia, followed by performances at Rockwood Music Hall in New York, and Largo in Los Angeles.
Previous to this Sally formed a band called Seeker Lover Keeper with fellow Australian singer-songwriters Sarah Blasko and Holly Throsby. In 2011 Seeker Lover Keeper’s debut self-titled album peaked in the Australian ARIA charts at number 3. Recorded in New York, the album features Jim White (Dirty Three) on drums. The band’s song ‘Even Though I’m A Woman’ (penned by Sally) hit number 17 on Triple J’s hottest 100. Soon after the album’s release, Seeker Lover Keeper enjoyed a successful tour across Australia, followed by a sold out Heavenly Sounds tour.
In 2010 Sally released her solo album ‘Heart That’s Pounding’. The album was co-produced with Francois Tetaz (Gotye), and the first single ‘Harmony To My Heartbeat’ was Song Of The Day on NPR. Indie Rock Reviews described the album as “a perfect blend of intelligent lyrics, Seltmann’s gorgeous voice and some amazing instrumentation”. ‘Heart That’s Pounding’ was released in Australia, North America (through Arts & Crafts), and Japan. To coincide with the release, Sally toured across Australia and the US, which included performances at Splendour in The Grass, Woodford Folk Festival, and at SXSW.
‘Heart That’s Pounding’ was short listed for The Australian Music Prize in 2011. The title track for the album featured in the Australian TV show ‘Offspring’, and ‘Dream About Changing’ featured in the US TV shows ‘Teen Wolf’ and ‘Mistresses’.

Written, arranged and produced by Sally, the album features performances from Beth Orton and Dirty Three’s Jim White. ‘The Last Beautiful Day’ was feature album of the week on the Australian radio stations JJJ, RRR and FBI.
