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 & wineries of Gallery Walk.
GATEWAY TO THE TRI-FOREST
The Mountain is home to some 7000 people and is a sanctuary for the native flora and fauna. CLOUD 9 is an island in the sky, surrounded by protected eucalypt, cloud & rain forests. Birdwatchers and photographers will appreciate the variety of some rare and spectacular species. 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 Moreton Island 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. Catch the Belt of Venus at sunset, watch the full moon rise over the Pacific Ocean and stargaze onto a sparkling night sky.
HEART OF THE MOUNTAIN
The 3 suburbs on Tamborine Mountain are Eagle Heights to the north, North Tamborine in the middle & 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 & Palm Grove National Park.
TAKE A DEEP BREATH
A mountain getaway is a breath of fresh air for body and spirit. Over the years, the embracing beauty of Tamborine Mountain has attracted a community of artists, artisans, authors, academics and adventurers. 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 high-end appointments. Use the high-speed WiFi, catch a Netflix movie on the 165cm smart TV, listen to Spotify, your own list - or one of our CDs - on the quality HiFi, or watch TV or Netflix downstairs on the other smart TV.
A RELAXING HOLIDAY VIBE
There is all-year dining for 8 out on the grand viewing deck with a 3-burner 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 & butterflies, and use the binoculars to spot more reclusive wildlife. And for our wedding guests, there are several garden 'rooms' to reveal and many colourful props to discover for those special pre-wedding or post-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 & fruit trees; sensitive cleaning goods; solar & green power; gas hot water, cooking & heating; 2 filtered rainwater tanks; plus onsite waste management.
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.
