Cloudlake Mountain Retreat Queensland Australia

Imagine waking after a deep sleep to the chorus of native birds and a breakfast of home grown produce on the deck overlooking the lake.

Wander through a country garden full of roses, lavenders and herbs; explore the olive grove, vineyard and orchards or lose yourself in the cool lush rainforest.

Take a picnic for a leisurely day out exploring nearby national parks and lakes or indulge in specialist nurseries, wineries, antique shops and cafes.

At night, curl up in front of your own wood fire or sit around the communal campfire on the edge of the lake, toasting marshmallows, marvelling at the Milky Way.

Only one and a half hours drive from Brisbane and half an hour from Toowoomba, Cloudlake Mountain Retreat lies in a hidden valley on the Great Dividing Range near Ravensbourne National Park with your choice of two entirely different cottages on the property but in complete privacy from each other.

Accommodation Options

The Boathouse

The Boathouse is a rural contemporary vernacular architecture replete with nautical design themes, with upper and lower decks overhanging the lake. The northern doors/walls fold back entirely to allow uninterrupted access to lake views. This cottage is wonderfully romantic and has a queen sized bed with muslin canopies with a double futon in the loft. The kitchen is fully equipped with gas cooktops, electric oven, a microwave and health grill. Although the planting around The Boathouse is native, a herb garden is provided for picking.

Mother of Ducks

Mother of Ducks Cottage is a 100 year old traditional cottage in an edible garden so you can pick fresh herbs, chillies and salad greens. It has two bedrooms – one with a queen sized four poster bed and one with two single beds. The cottage is spacious, decorated in a bright and funky shabby chic manner with wide verandahs overlooking the lake. As well as a fully self contained kitchen with gas stove/oven. There is an adjacent outdoor kitchen pavilion with gas barbecue.
