Rich in history, Cloudberry Manor was originally built by a wealthy Sydney-sider and later served as a residence for trainee nuns from Our Lady of the Sacred Heart. This remarkable property has been a nurturing space for community service, with the formal dining room once hosting Sunday School and the shed designed for flower arrangements used in church services. Unique historical features abound, including original drying hooks and a fold-down cutting table in the shed, remnants of its past as a flower preparation space. The living room, once a chapel, retains the crucifix hooks in the picture rail, while the bar served as a confessional.
