We went to Cloudlake for our first anniversary, and we came home refreshed, rejuvinated, and wanting to go back!

The cabin was lovely. The kitchen was fully self-contained, with everything you could need, and we enjoyed taking the time to cook ourselves proper meals (no convenience, pre-packaged food for a change!) and the fireplace was a treat! Very reasonable price for such a lovely, homely place to stay.

The property is absolutely gorgeous, with the remnant rainforest and paddocks to wander in. We had lots of fun trying to find the sheep paddocks, then we heard some cows and set out to find them too, all guided by Dudley, the most adorable staffy who led us home when we discovered we'd gotten lost.

The hosts were fantastic, offering us privacy yet letting us know they were there if we needed them. They delivered firewood (very cold because of the elevation) for when we needed a fire during the day, and were very understanding when, two hours down the road on the way home, I realised that I still had the key for the cabin in my handbag.

If I can get over my embarrassment, we will be back next year!
