Due to the incline of the property, there is very limited access to the garden for wheelchairs and walking frames. The Diggers Garden Shop and Seasons Restaurant and its deck do have disability access, and both car parks have a designated disability parking bay. However there are steps from the Diggers Garden Shop into the garden and also steps between the many gardens within Cloudehill.
Cloudehill has been made on the side of a mountain and there are steps between the various gardens throughout. We have made these to be as comfortable as possible and upper flights also have handrails. Lower parts of the garden can be very steep and generally have earthen paths which can be slippery when wet, especially after our Lyrebirds and Wombats have been busily gardening. Occasionally, tree roots come to the surface. These can be trip hazards.
