The cosiness of the cabin & fire. Very private & got to experience wildlife up close. Convenient & easy walk to visitors centre.
We loved our stay at the Cradle Highlander. It was lovely and peaceful after hiking around Cradle Mountain. They had a wood fire started in our room for when we arrived, which was perfect for the chilly night.
