The Clarence is a unique and tranquil country retreat set in a beautifully remote location. Run only on solar power, it is a quiet refuge away from everything, allowing you to detach from all outside distractions. Enjoy amazing views and vistas in all directions at any time of the day.
The Clarence is an eco-friendly masterpiece of steel, concrete, glass and wood with a beautiful north facing aspect. The combination of industrial raw materials combined with the surrounding natural environment, makes the space something completely unforgettable and very special.

The kitchen includes all the basic amenities you'll need for a comfortable stay, including a Nespresso coffee machine to enjoy your morning coffee. As the property operates on solar power the kitchen does not run an oven or stovetop. However, the premium barbeque conveniently doubles as an oven and cooktop so meals can be easily prepared and enjoyed in comfort. We also provide a number of smaller portable gas cooktops as well.
The large timber deck complete with the barbeque, ample comfortable lounge seating and European Oak and steel dining table, flows off the kitchen, dining and loungeroom. The outdoor dining table seats up to 12 guests with an additional 6 guests at the inside dining table.
When not enjoying the view from the deck, retreat inside to relax on the couch in front of the cosy wood fired heater or lose yourself in a good book.
