Our beautiful oak-panelled lounge room with unusual beamed ceiling, conjures up another era, when life was a bit slower and there was time to sit by the fire reading a good book or just conversing with family and friends over tea/coffee and home-baked treats. Lift up the lounge room windows in Springtime and you'll smell the lilac and magnolia blossoms





- beyond that, the garden courtyard (with lazy steamer chairs) and then winding steps leading you down, down into our beautiful garden with secret corners to explore. Perhaps you'll find a spot for quiet contemplation, or be tempted to wander down further, further, onto Prince Henry Cliff Walk for invigorating bushwalks and breathtaking views from the many lookouts.



Our bedrooms with luxurious, environmentally-superior alpaca wool quilts are bathed in soft, sleep-inducing colours and are themed on Australian wildflowers. Quality linen and electric blankets are on all beds.





The fully-equipped kitchen enables you to cook as much or as little as you like. Don't forget you can walk to quality restaurants just nearby. We also supply a variety of teas, coffees (including ground coffee for perfect plunger coffee), herbal teas, and a generous breakfast basket that looks like a bountiful harvest! Naturally, the bread supplied only comes from quality local small bakers - Quintons (Leura) or Hominy (Katoomba) and the eggs are free-range. Our complimentary home-baked treats are made using organic flours - ideal for a leisurely afternoon tea.




The verandah is an ideal place for your Cloudlands "Lingering Breakfast" featuring gourmet local products with parrots and rosellas in the apples trees for company.




We want you to feel “discreetly pampered” during your stay at Cloudlands and know you'll enjoy soaking in the claw foot bath (complete with bookrack for serious bookworms!). A variety of natural toiletries will be provided for your enjoyment, including aromatherapy bath salts, bubble bath, bath oils - and more. If you feel like some extra spoiling, let us arrange a massage, facial or special package at a nearby health resort or for the ultimate indulgence, a massage in the retreat itself.
