You will be floating on air at CLOUD 9 - perched between the peak of Eagle Heights and the scarp of Tamborine Mountain. You can use the 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 both 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 natures fireworks display with a lightning storm at sea or even that rare phenomena - the Buddhas Halo. The upstairs bedrooms and living rooms all enjoy the uninterrupted coast and hinterland views, with walls of glass opening to the eastern verandah, while the downstairs bedrooms have filtered coastal views. And there are over 90 square metres of decks to bring the outdoors closer in. CLOUD 9 is ideally located on the north-east edge of the mountain escarpment in a quiet, end-of-court position, bordering an environmental preserve. It is a brisk walk to the popular Botanic Gardens or a 3-minute drive to the lively tourist shops, restaurants, cafes and wineries of Gallery Walk. You should visit the nearby heritage museum and stroll through the ancient rainforest of MacDonald National Park and Curtis Falls. Or adventure further with the kids to the Glow Worm Caves, Skywalk, Thunderbird Park and the Cedar Creek rock pools. This eco-friendly holiday house is furnished throughout with quality appointments. Use the free WiFi Internet, catch a movie on the 155cm Panasonic Smart TV in the media room, listen to your iTunes on the Pioneer sound system in the living room or watch sport or play the PS3 downstairs on the other flat-screen TV. Research the local area, play a board game with the kids and plan your next adventures around the big family dining table. Or chat with friends on the plush leather couches while the cooks prepare dinner for 9 in the well-equipped kitchen. Then again, you could simply open the complimentary bottle of wine and luxuriate in the 20 jet spa bath, or check out the mini-library and relax out on the Balinese day bed. And finally, get a good nights rest with CLOUD 9s crisp linen and comfy pillows, doonas and mattresses. There is all-year, outdoor dining for 10 on the viewing deck, with an undercover BBQ - great for entertaining with family and friends. Look out over the sub-tropical eucalypt forest that spills down the hillside, identify some of the many rare birds, and use the telescope to spot more reclusive wildlife. Then explore the charming CLOUD 9 garden, with its majestic gum tree, roses and rainforest, pathways and hedge rows, fruit trees and a herb patch. See if you and the kids can walk the pavement labyrinth and find the hidden fairy door, the White Rabbit, Dormouse House or the March Hare doorknocker. And for our wedding guests, there are several garden rooms to reveal and a number of colourful props to discover for those special pre-wedding photos. CLOUD 9 is enchanting in all seasons as there are no real extremes in temperature on the mountain. Be captivated by the spring mists as they rise through the valleys below, or welcome the mountain cool in summer with ocean breezes and ceiling fans in every room. Delight in the ever-changing colours of autumn, or enjoy the crystal clear days and nights of winter as you cozy up around the gas log fire. This relaxing country home is picture perfect for a fun getaway with friends, ultra-comfortable family holiday, stylish wedding group accommodation or rewarding workplace retreat. PLEASE NOTE: 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 contributor to the Tamborine Mountain community, there are 3 reminders: (1) RESPECT the NEIGHBOURS; (2) NO FUNCTIONS or PARTIES; and (3) NO PETS. TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN - THE GREEN BEHIND THE GOLD COAST CLOUD 9 is a scenic, 35-minute drive to the classic beaches of the Gold Coast, 30 minutes to the theme park wonderlands, 1 hour to metropolitan Brisbane and a world away from anywhere. A rainforest getaway on Tamborine Mountain is a breath of fresh air for body and spirit.The 3 suburbs on Tamborine Mountain are Eagle Heights to the north, North Tamborine in the middle and Mount Tamborine away from the action to the south. The major attractions of Gallery Walk, the Botanic Gardens, the Heritage Museum, Curtis Falls, MacDonald National Park, Palm Grove National Park plus CLOUD 9 are all to be found in Eagle Heights. Tamborine Mountain is actually a remnant volcanic plateau about 8 km long, 4 km wide and some 550 metres above sea level. It is lofted above the hinterland between the Pacific Ocean and the Great Dividing Range. The mountain is an island in the sky, surrounded by protected rainforest and eucalypts, home to around 7000 people and a sanctuary for the native flora and fauna. Birdwatchers and photographers especially appreciate the variety of some very rare species. Inquisitive lorikeets, honeyeaters and fairy wrens regularly visit the mountain gardens. And colourful cockatoos, king parrots and bowerbirds fly close by. Shy whipbirds and lyrebirds can be heard from afar, and boobooks and tawny frog mouth come out after dark. Meanwhile, elusive platypuses swim in the clear mountain creeks, sleepy koalas live among the gum trees and at night the glow worms glow in the forest caves. The embracing beauty of the mountain has attracted many writers, poets, artists, artisans and travelers. Original gifts and mementos can be purchased at the many galleries and antique shops across the mountain. There is a local producers market every Sunday from 8.00 am at the Showgrounds with the main farmers markets every second Sunday of the month (at the Showgrounds) and every last Sunday of the month (opposite Tamborine Mountain State School).

a perfect family get away
We have recently enjoyed a return family weekend at Cloud 9. The house is very comfortable with every possible amenity. The children loved the quirky garden while the adults enjoyed relaxing round the open fire.The house sits on a ridge with uninterrupted spectacular views to the Gold Coast. All of the great attractions that Tamborine has to offer are only a short drive away. Thanks Murray.

Stunning spot!!!
Wow, what a wonderful house with stunning views over the scenic hinterland and Gold Coast. We had a family wedding staying for 3 fabulous nights. Cloud9 was so homely and welcoming we immediately felt comfortable & at home. The local community, cafes & restaurants are also great, so much choice and friendly. The home, especially the kitchen, is very well appointed, we loved the extra personal touches, guest amenities and welcome pack....thanks so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home in this superb location. We look forward to staying again, thanks :) BarbN 25/9/18

Perfect for larger groups - well supplied, comfortable with a wonderful view.
Such an amazing property with great charm and everything made so easy! Three bathroom/toilets, one with huge spa bath, comfortable bedrooms and linens, a well-supplied pantry and kitchen too. My tip would be check when you arrive and if you're still short of something, the shops are a short drive away. There is an Alice in Wonderland theme running through the spacious house and garden walkways and it is great fun to look for all there is to find. The information in the book on the hallstand upstairs is extensive and worth reading at the beginning of your stay! Nine adults (two extended families) shared this delightful home over Easter and there was so much room. We ate meals on the covered deck or inside at the dining table and there was plenty of room for all. The owner was easily accessible via text and email and always helpful. The beds were large enough to accommodate my 6'5" husband. The magical botannical gardens is a very short drive down the road. Take the children and the camera! All of us would happily stay at Cloud 9 again. Highly recommend!

A beautiful house with amazing views.
We enjoyed a long weekend at Cloud 9 with a group of our friends for my husbands 50th birthday. The house was just beautiful, and the views from the wraparound deck were breathtaking. We were only a few minutes drive from Gallery Walk and the many cafes, restaurants and wineries of Mt Tamborine. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cloud 9 and highly recommend it.

A home for eight of us
The location had stunning views of Gold Coast, if you like walking not for the faint hearted a very hilly part of Tamborine, but an easy walk to the Botanical Gardens. The house is beautifully furnished, the kitchen well equipped, the beds comfortable. The big patio was a great place for us all to meet, sit and talk over a coffee or evening drinks. The Garden was a treasure of delights. The only downside we had was that from one bedroom you had to walk through another bedroom to get to the bathroom, in the middle of the night that was difficult for all. Parking onsite was adequate, I would definitely recommend this property.

Home away from home
Cloud 9 is must have the best views on Tamborine, you can see across the tree filled valley all the way to Surfers Paradise. We had our breakfast listening to whip birds and looking down on the tree ferns. The house is really well appointed and cosy with everything you could possibly need and more. All the rooms have really comfy beds and bathroom or ensuite and the kitchen has everything you need. It was so clean and tastefully decorated, it was just like being at home. The garden is a delight, you just have to have a wander through the Alice in Wonderland themed courtyard and paths. The owner is very good with all the information you need to enjoy the house and it is easy to see that they must enjoy staying there too. We would definitely stay there again.

Sensational
A party of four of us stayed at Cloud 9 to celebrate my wife's recent birthday. It was absolutely perfect with everything we needed to relax and enjoy those memorable views to the Coastline. We only used the upstairs however there are also 2 bedrooms and a bathroom downstairs. The master bedroom had an ensuite ( with a spa) as well as a walk in robe. The other upstairs bedroom had a bathroom next to it. There was an ample supply of crockery, pots and pans- you wanted for nothing. Verandahs right across the front had ample furniture so that you could sit anywhere and enjoy the magnificent scenery. The compendium was very informative including a Cloud 9 Adventure Hunt Sheet- don't want to spoil your fun so all I will say is that make sure you bring your grandchildren to this magnificent home.! Sincere thanks for a wonderful stay.
