Cloud Base

 

Cloud Base is a magical place where you discover new experiences. Located high in remote forest, it's reminiscent of a camp in the Canadian Rockies. It has 5 timber cabins. The nearest village, Whiting Bay, is over an hour away.

An expedition to Cloud Base gives you a unique wilderness adventure. With everyone enjoying the camaraderie of camp life in a remote location.

It is an eco camp powered by a small wind turbine and solar panels.

With no light pollution it often sits under a canopy of stars and when there's a full moon you don't even have to use torch.

No one can fail to be impressed by the sight of this extraordinary place.
