You can rest easy at CLOUD 9. NESTLED ON NATURE'S EDGE You will be 'floating on air' at CLOUD 9 - perched between the peak of Eagle Heights and the scarp of Tamborine Mountain. CLOUD 9 is ideally located on the north-east edge of the mountain escarpment in a quiet, end-of-court position, bordering a 300 hectare environmental preserve. It's an energetic walk to the popular Botanic Gardens or a 3-minute drive to the lively shops, restaurants and wineries of Gallery Walk. You should visit the nearby Heritage Centre and stroll through the ancient rainforest of Curtis Falls and MacDonald National Park. Or adventure further with the kids to the Glow Worm Caves, Skywalk, Thunderbird Park and the Cedar Creek rock pools. GATEWAY TO THE TRI-FOREST Tamborine Mountain is an island in the sky, surrounded by protected eucalypt, cloud and rain forests. The Mountain is home to around 7000 people and a sanctuary for the native flora and fauna. Birdwatchers and photographers will appreciate the variety of some rare species. Inquisitive butcherbirds, kookaburras and fairy wrens regularly visit the CLOUD 9 gardens. Then cockatoos and king parrots, bowerbirds and wedgetails may fly overhead. Shy whipbirds can be heard from afar and the sooty owls and tawny frogmouth come out after dark. Meanwhile, elusive platypuses swim in the mountain creeks, sleepy koalas live among the gum trees and by night the glow worms glow in the forest caves. BIG SKIES, STARRY NIGHTS and VIEWS FOREVER You can use the CLOUD 9 telescope to explore the ocean horizon from Jumpinpin to Main Beach or survey the hinterland valleys of Wongawallan to the wetlands of Coombabah. There are vivid panoramas day and night. Wake to the colours of the rising sun and see rainbows paint the local hillsides. Or watch the full moon rise over the Pacific Ocean and stargaze onto a sparkling night sky. If lucky, you could catch nature's fireworks with a lightning storm at sea, or even that rare phenomenon - the 'Buddha's Halo'. The 4 bedrooms and living rooms all enjoy the uninterrupted ocean, coast and hinterland views with walls of glass upstairs opening to the verandahs. Plus a generous 90 sq mtr of decks to bring those outdoors in. HEART OF THE MOUNTAIN The 3 suburbs on Tamborine Mountain are Eagle Heights to the north, North Tamborine in the middle and Mount Tamborine away to the south. Eagle Heights is the activity centre of the mountain, hosting the major attractions of Gallery Walk, the Botanic Gardens, the Heritage Museum, Curtis Falls, MacDonald National Park and Palm Grove National Park. And CLOUD 9 directly overlooks the Eagle Heights escarpment with expansive views out to the ocean horizon. It's a minute's drive from CLOUD 9 to the Botanic Gardens; 3 minutes to the restaurants, cafes and shops of Gallery Walk on Long Rd; 5 - 15 minutes to the rainforest, waterfalls and nature trails of the 9 National Parks; half an hour to the theme park wonderlands; 35 minutes to the Gold Coast beaches; 55 minutes to the Gold Coast airport; and an hour to downtown Brisbane. Start with our map of the 6 nature walks @ No.32 in the photo gallery, then check the Google Location Map for more detail. TAKE A DEEP BREATH A mountain getaway is a breath of fresh air for body and spirit. And over the years, the embracing beauty of Tamborine Mountain has attracted a community of artists, artisans, authors, academics and adventurers. The poet Judith Wright was a long-term resident and Charles Blackman the painter, a regular visitor. Now you can stay at artful CLOUD 9 and plan your own adventures. First, check out Visit Tamborine Mountain for the many exciting attractions and activities on the mountain. Next, consider a scenic lunch, a rainforest walk, a winery tour or even a balloon ride. Then ... the rest is up to you. PAUSE, PLAY, UNWIND CLOUD 9 is wired for the electronic comforts and furnished throughout with quality appointments. Use the free NBN WiFi, catch a Netflix movie on the 165cm smart TV, listen to Spotify, your own list - or one of our CDs - on the sound system in the lounge room, or watch TV or Netflix downstairs on the other smart TV. You can research the local area, play a board game with the kids and plan your next outing around the big family dining table. Or chat with friends on the plush leather couches while the cooks prepare dinner in the well-equipped kitchen. Then again, you could open the welcome bottle of wine and luxuriate in the bath for 2. Or grab a slice of the complimentary mountain fudge, check out the mini-library and relax out on the Balinese day bed. And finally you should all get a good night's sleep with CLOUD 9's white linen and her premium pillows, doonas and pillow-top mattresses. A FUN HOLIDAY VIBE There is all-year dining for 10 out on the grand viewing deck with a quality, undercover BBQ - great for entertaining with family and friends. Look over the sub-tropical eucalypt forest that spills down the mountainside, identify the rare birds and butterflies, and use the scope to spot more reclusive wildlife. Then explore the charming CLOUD 9 garden, with its majestic tallowwood ... pathways and hedge rows ... roses and rainforest ... fruit trees and a herb patch. We dare you to walk the CLOUD 9 Labyrinth, step through the Moongate, sit on the Red Queen's throne and find the key to the Imaginarium. And for our wedding guests, there are several garden 'rooms' to reveal and many colourful props to discover for those special pre-wedding photos. ECO-FRIENDLY CLOUD 9 borders the ecologically sensitive headwaters of Tamborine Creek and minimises its environmental footprint with: low impact building materials; natural, dry-stone retaining walls; terraced gardens; organic flower beds, herbs and fruit trees; sensitive cleaning goods; solar and green power; gas hot water, cooking and heating; 2 filtered rainwater tanks; plus onsite waste management. And as a contemporary Queenslander, CLOUD 9 also reduces its carbon footprint with an effective range of passive heating and cooling techniques. FOR ALL SEASONS CLOUD 9 is enchanting in all seasons as there are no extremes in temperature on the mountain. Delight in the spring mists as they billow through the valleys below, or welcome the mountain cool in summer with breezes from a faraway ocean. Go leaf peeping for those autumn colours or enjoy the crystal clear weeks of winter as you cozy up around the gas log fire. This happy holiday house is picture perfect for your stylish wedding group accommodation, ultra-comfortable getaway with friends, fun family holiday or rewarding workplace retreat. KEY REMINDERS CLOUD 9 employs a part-time professional gardener, cleaner and launderer, and provides regular income for several other local service providers. To help maintain CLOUD 9 as a valued member of the Tamborine Mountain community, there are 4 reminders: 1. RESPECT the NEIGHBOURS; 2. NO FUNCTIONS or PARTIES; 3. QUIET TIME after 10pm; and sorry, 4. NO PETS.

Cloud 9 was as advertised and more. So clean and thoughtfully planned. Excellent for groups and families. The sound did not travel between the floors. The rooms and facilities were more than expected and made our stay perfect. Room to park out three cars under cover. Great views and garden full of surprises. Highest recommendation.

Lovely spacious property, very well and thoughtfully equipped (not just 6 but over 20 cups and plates, etc), and champagne and a box of mixed fudge on arrival. Most spectacular views; very quiet; relaxing; warm and cosy mid-winter; comfy beds. Amazingly thoughtful garden attractions for children which was appreciated by we adults. Couldn't fault anything. Host was wonderful and allowed us early arrival and late checkout. Don't miss seeing the Tamborine Botanical Gardens nearby, especially when Camelias in flower.

Choose to stay here, it's wonderful!
Cloud 9 is just magical. Murray made our stay so easy and stress free with excellent communication before our arrival. The house is just lovely and so very comfortable. We loved every little touch, and there were many. The art works were fabulous, the gardens gorgeous, the set up fantastic for our needs. We had our family and two teenage friends for a visit to the Gold Coast for my daughter's birthday, plenty of beds and baths for all and so very well appointed. Location is fantastic, views are incredible from the dawn to the evening. If you are considering a stay here, do it, it is just the most lovely, quiet and perfect home. Thank you Murray and Janelle!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 days at Cloud 9, we were so impressed by the touches that Murray and Janelle, thought about for us, from the amazing French Champagne and local Fudge to the lovely letter on arrival, letting us know when sunrise would be the next morning. They certainly make you special. The views from Cloud 9 are awesome, sunrise was spectacular. Their was enough space for all our guests and the property is only 5 minutes from the centre of Mt Tamborine. Our wedding venue Cedar Creek Winery was just another 5 minutes down the road. Finally the "Alice in Wonderland" display blew us away, a special place to see. Thanks so much Murray and Janelle for making our stay so welcoming. Regards Andrew, Fiona and family

Family holiday
Our family truly enjoyed our stay at Cloud 9. It was a beautiful house, spacious and clean. The garden is pure delight for the children while the veranda is the perfect place to enjoy a drink and watch the sunset! It was clearly very much loved and cared for by the owner. It definitely felt like home! Thank you for the lovely time!

From the get go Murray was great. The property was perfect and exactly as listed. It was the perfect spot for my groomsmen and I to get ready for the big day. Would definitely recommend to everyone looking for a quiet spot to relax.
Thank you Murray.

Magnificent for Families
Wonderfully positioned and presented property. Our kids absolutely loved the themed garden and play area. The house has all of the amenities needed for a great holiday, including the small touches like a well stocked pantry of simple items, two fridges, a great oven, gas fireplace (no need to constantly feed it firewood!) and bags of ice in the freezers. We'll be back!

Perfect place for extended family get together.
Cloud 9 is a very spacious house and garden for a large family gathering, but with cosy living rooms making for easy conversations or quiet tv watching. A large dining table enabled us all to enjoy a cooked breakfast together each morning. The bedrooms are spread out so privacy is assured. Excellent hot showers and very comfortable beds. The views are to die for and we slept with the curtains open to capture the glorious orange sunrises when we opened our eyes. Beautiful birdsong as well. Sad to leave.

Clean and tidy. Views are beautiful.
The house was very comfortable. The owner was very helpful. The views from the balcony are spectacular day and night.
Bi-fold door in the main en-suite needs the top hinge tightened as it was loose on arrival which meant the door would not close. I did my best to tighten it so it was working on departure but would suggest a good screw driver would do the trick.
We had a lovely time thanks very much.

Magnificent views
We are a family of 7 and stayed at Cloud 9 - Eagle Heights, for the last few days of our month long getaway. We found the views breathtaking and the overall experience very relaxing. It was only a 40 minute drive to take the kids shopping and surfing at Surfers Paradise and it was great to be able to do rain forest walks and swimming in waterfalls just around the corner. The home had everything you could want and we loved cooking the BBQ and eating out on the decking listening to the kookaburras and other birds sing and seeing the large colourful butterflies flying around the garden. We were also lucky enough to see the resident wedged tail eagle souring around the trees nearby. Highly recommend this home as a great place to stay.
