Peter, Houston

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Location was amazing. I had a log cabin surrounded by the forest, across the road from the Cradle Mountain Visitors Centre. Cabin had a kichen (fridge, microwave, stove/oven, kettle, coffee pod machine), living room and small dining table for 2. Bedroom had a large bwmed, bathroom had shower and separate bathtub. Views were awesome. For heat, there was a small radiator and electric blankets, as well as a wood burning fireplace, with a good supply of wood. It was already set up for me to light. My only concerns were: the bed was waybtoo firm and I didnt sleep well. The fireplace was great but I woke up twice during the night and had to add wood. But overall, I liked the stay and cabin

Tallowood Spa parking approx 30m+ to cabin - not close if carrying large items. Cabin itself was good experience/condition good. Clean, quiet, warm with wood fire (wood supplied). Shower water pressure good and hot. Close to visitor centre and parking area , shuttle to Dove lake and other walks. Good location for exploring park including driving distance to Cradle Mountain Lodge and Devils Sanctuary.

The cabin was clean and well appointed and the gas heating, combined with double glazing and great insulation, meant that it was very cosy. The layout of the cabins on the property is such that you had the impression of being the only ones there - great privacy. Being opposite the Visitor Information Centre meant that we didn’t need the car for three days.

We walked in to a lovely warm cabin thanks to the wood burning fire which kept us warm while it was snowing outside! Cabin had everything we needed and the spa bath was welcome after a day walking. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend

Magic seeing all the wildlife come to the door

What a great stay. Was a bit freaked out by the wildlife at the door when going to look out at the stars. The snow was magical. definitely not 5 star, rustic cabin but this is why it’s so fantastic. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else.

We absolutely loved our stay at Cradle Highlander and wish we could have stayed longer than one night. It is such a charming place - we loved the cosiness of our cabin, especially the wood fire and comfy bed. We also enjoyed the peaceful surrounds and privacy. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed to make a nice dinner. If you're looking for an authentic wood cabin experience immersed in native bush, this is it!

We stayed in the two story cabin with our two little kids. It was such a wholesome little house and made our trip to cradle one we will remember. It was our fav accomodation during our whole trip to tassie. We cooked both nights in the cabin, the kitchen is well equiped. It was lovely and warm and cozy and we could do laundry on-site too, which is a game changer with kids.
