Clovelly was a lovely escape from the world for a couple of nights. Our room, a spa suite was spacious and comfortable with a beautiful view. Facilities in the room are what you would expect at this level.
The hotel has lovely spaces around for quiet contemplation, or a feisty game or two, it's up to you. We walked down to the deck overlooking the lake, a tranquil place but reached via a steep pathway best down in trainers or walking shoes.
The food at the Long Apron was delicious, the only negative comment would be that the menu is so limited that you couldnt really eat there night after night. The wait staff were friendly, knowledgable and made the evening feel a little bit special, matching the food in their exceptionality.
Breakfast was lovely, with a great selection served overlooking the garden. Tuesday's staff were wonderful, weds seemed a little preoccupied, but the kitchen staff stepped up to deliver food and provide a happy smile and friendly words.
In all, a beautiful place for a few days away from the pressure of the world, we used it to access walking tracks in the Great Walk through the Sunshine Coast hinterland, and the contrast between pampering and raw rainforest was rejuvenating.
