Beautiful haven

Jean was very welcoming. The rooms were really comfortable and had everything we needed (with big comfy beds as an added bonus). After taking in the views over breakfast, we all enjoyed exploring the property and seeing some kangaroos along the way. Great place to stay when exploring the beautiful region.

I was looking for a magical spot to introduce my American friend to the Adelaide Hills. I wanted somewhere hidden away in nature surrounded by bird calls, cosy and warm inside. CloudsNest delivered in every way. Our lovely hostess provided us with everything we wanted and many things we didn’t know we wanted. We felt welcome and special and at home.

Beautiful property filled with warmth

We couldn't fault our stay. Our continental breakfast in front of the fire, our dinners prepared by the host and our beds and bathrooms so clean and comfortable. Even the kangaroos were as the photo. A good base to see Adelaide and surrounds. We will return on our next trip to Adelaide.

Great B&B

We stayed two nights at Clouds Nest and from the moment we arrived Jean made us feel very welcomed. The views were spectacular and the cheese platter Jean provided on arrival was amazing. The Rooms were very clean and tidy and comfortable. Really enjoyed the log fire. Jean is a great host and provided us with ample for breakfast. Overall a really lovely getaway and we are already planning a return. We can't recommend this place enough for a well deserved break.

A wonderful retreat

What a beautiful spot. Jean is an attentive but discrete host. The outlook is stunning - to sit on the verandah and watch the sun set over the valley, and equally the sunrise the next morning. The accommodation was everything we would have hoped. So peaceful and away from everything, and yet not that far from Stirling. Highly recommended.

Property and views amazing. Friendly host that went the extra mile. Made you feel welcome.

Clean property, that had additional fine touches including fresh wild flowers from the garden. Cheese platter on arrival and scrumptious breakfast that is equivalent to any five star hotel. Overall 5 star rating to host Jean who was lovely without being intrusive. Recommend this property to others who are looking for a truly serene and amazing stay. Thank you.

Relaxing hideaway

CloudsNest and the property it’s on is absolutely stunning. Sitting back, watching the kangaroos graze on the lawn as the sun set, was our favourite part of the evening. We enjoyed the options of a fireplace both inside and out. Jean was a wonderful host who gave us plenty of privacy but was also ready to assist if needed. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous property Jean. We’ll be back.

Adelaide Hills perfect stay

I did visit Adelaide Hills for work, travelling with a client. We stayed at Cloud Nest and it was a real discovery and pleasure. We found the place very unique and authentic. The all experience was great, from arrival, breakfast, bush view, the native fauna and air quality.The bedrooms were very comfortable and the host incredibly attentive and discreet. I will come back again and it is definitely in my favourite stay in the area. Thank you so much for the great hospitality.
