Ann's is the perfect place to escape to when you're after some rest and relaxation, amongst nature with views to die for! The two decks provide perfect outdoor seating for any time of day - the main deck catches the sun from about 7.30am at this time of year right the way through till about 6pm, when you can move to the side deck and watch the sun go down over the water & hills with a glass of wine and a cheese platter! From the main deck you can watch the wildlife - lots of birds playing in the trees and swooping down for a wash in the bird baths (if you pop some water in them) and a large wallaby grazing in the garden with a joey in her pouch were my visitors. The garden snakes down to the beach where you can enjoy a morning walk along to Dennes Point and maybe stop for breakfast in Jetty Cafe.
The house is delightful and full of a collection of vintage items, from kitchen equipment to the beautiful dining room lamp. There's a selection of books and DVDs so if you get some inclement weather, there's no need to get bored! The bed was soft but very comfy and the shower was lovely after a day out walking and getting caught in the rain! Because it is a used as a family getaway, it's full of every day items from food (herbs, spices, cooking oil, espresso coffee, etc) to wetsuits, hats and rucksacks which Ann is happy for you to use during your stay - so much nicer than the stark minimalist state of most holiday rentals.
Ann is a very good communicator and quick to sort out any queries or issues. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Cloud Garden... apart from the fact that it may not be available next time I want to visit if too many people know about this wonderful hideaway!!
