Lovely apartment and decor. Very involved owners. Be sure to read what is and what isn’t allowed in this property.

The accommodation was gorgeous. It was very clean and wonderfully decorated. The view was stunning and we recommend enjoying it from the large bath tub.

Mark and Leena are such welcoming and warm peo...ple. They went above and beyond to make sure our time away was one to remember. From fresh flowers and a complimentary bath bomb, to homemade bread, jam and marmalade dropped on our doorstep in the morning, we felt very spoilt and looked after.

My partner and I have already discussed coming back again for a much longer stay! We could not recommend this accommodation enough. 11/10

We arrived at Cloud View Retreat and were mesmerized by the magnificent view of the valley beneath us and delighted by the array of birdlife in nearby trees -we sighted King parrots, Pied Currawongs a...nd Sulphur crested Cockatoos. The next morning we awoke to a prolonged chorus from the resident Kookaburras and a spectacular pink sunrise that filled the morning sky. After a delicious breakfast we headed to Emerald for their Saturday market and later drove to Emerald Lake. We had a special meal prepared by our wonderful hosts, Mark and Leenah on Saturday night and on Sunday headed home after walking through Sherbrook Forest and visiting a vintage Bookshop in Sassafras.

Adventures Nearby

Here are some details about the adventures nearby. Refer to the map for their location.

The General Food Store

We stopped in Emerald for a quick coffee.

Puffing Billy

The journey aboard Puffing Billy takes you through the magnificent Dandenong Ranges, located only one hour east of Melbourne.

With lush fern gullies brushing past and Mountain Ash trees towering overhead, Puffing Billy makes for a wonderful opportunity to relax and breathe in the fresh air whilst the train makes its way through the temperate rainforest.

Birdsland Reserve

We took a long walk around the reserve listening to the birds sing in the trees and enjoying the sunshine that came out to play.

Sherbrooke Falls

Enjoy this peaceful walk to Sherbrooke Falls, and find a new favourite escape for walks and picnics. Start at the beginning of the track near the main entrance on Sherbrooke Road, and wind past rough and smooth tree ferns. Along the way you'll see the region's finest sassafras and mountain ash, some of them up to 200 years old.
