Cloud 9 - Cliff Top, Ocean Sunrise, VIP Residence

This four-bedroom cottage sits at the top of North Tamborine's escarpment, with views stretching from the valley floor all the way to the ocean. The property has gathered more than a decade of five-star guest reviews, and it's easy to see why families return. The layout works well for groups, with three full bathrooms, two separate living areas, and eighty square metres of covered deck space where you can watch the sunrise over the water.

Inside you'll find thoughtful touches for travelling with children, including a crib, high chair and toys. The main bedroom upstairs has an ensuite with a deep bathtub, while two more bedrooms are upstairs and another downstairs opens to the garden. There's parking for three vehicles, two fridges for longer stays, and a washer and dryer. The combination of mountain air, those long-distance views and a layout that gives everyone their own space makes this a solid choice for extended family gatherings.
