Cosy and comfortable

Gorgeous log cabin. Each cabin had its own specifically Australian name - ours was Wombat. The bed was a little hard for me but my husband loved it so just personal preference. Great kitchen set up and would have màde more use of it if we'd stayed longer. Very close to cradle mountain visitor centre and other places of interest in the area. Set up with everything you need to be comfortable for a longer stay. Lovely host on reception friendly and helpul information. Would definitely stay again if ever back this way.

close to the buses into the national park quiet and a bush setting I would have rated this place higher apart from the gas heater not working ok because it was mild. The large gas cooktop didn’t work properly and was dangerous

The welcome and helpfulness from the reception member of staff was excellent. Although we arrived well ahead of check-in as we did not realise it was across the road from the shuttle bus to take us to walk the Dove Lake circuit, she kindly stored some grocery items in their fridge before transferring them to our cabin once the room was available. We loved the peace and quiet and on such a beautiful evening enjoyed a BBQ (gas fired). The cabin not surprising was designed/kitted out for the cold rather than the heat. This was easily the most expensive property we booked in a 4 week tour of South Western Australia and Tasmania, though cabin fixtures/fittings were a bit dated, lacked “personal touches” of many of the other properties. The Internet was terrible which cannot all be put down to the location especially when they advertised you could use up to 5 devices and we could barely get connection with one phone at a time and even if we could use more devices you were restricted to 2gb. All this possibly reflects a lack of competition and stronger demand than other areas but overall we still very much enjoyed our visit to the Cradle Mountains.

This was by far our favourite stay whilst we were in Tasmania, we were welcomed by a lovely fireplace already setup for us which kept the room nice and cosy the entire time we were there. The cabins are so close to everything at Cradle Mountain. The cabin was so cosy with a lovely four poster bed, spa bath and full kitchen with basics. Will be recommending this place to everyone in the future

We loved our little "Wombat" cabin. So cozy with the wood burning fire. Have to keep this full as the nights do get cold. We had plenty of wood filled up right outside our cabin. Loved the layout with a queen bed and bunk beds if there are others in your party. The kitchen has all the conveniences for cooking. We just had some trouble using the oven as it was a gas oven but the stove worked fine. Bathroom and shower was very comfortable. Just a short walk to the cradle mountain visiting centre. Staff at Cradle HIghlander are very communicative and responsive. We loved our stay here and would love to come back.

Liked having the local wildlife on our step. A wombat tried to join us inside. We saw a pademelon and currawong. So curious. Dined up the road at the Tavern. We went early and avoided the rush. Was nice to have a log fire as the temperature went right down.
