Discovery Parks - Cradle Mountain

We stayed in a private 4 bed bunk room with 1 double and 2 bunk beds. The bedroom was small but fine for the 2 of us. The kitchen had everything we needed and was a great place to meet other guests. The shared shower and toilet facilities were clean and a good standard. My criticism is that the price was too high, approx double the price of other holiday chalet style accommodation we stayed in which had private facilities.

Kitchen was fine for our use. We were grateful for the clothes airer that was in the cabin. The A/C was adequate to heat the cabin. It was difficult minimising wet floor in the bathroom as the shower curtain was a but short. Overall, good value for the standard of accommodation.

整體設備尚可，暖氣都足夠廁所空間細小。有兩張碌架床。勉強足夠六人。但會好擠逼。我們三人住就幾舒服。

地方雖小，五臟俱全！ 我們雖然過了check-in時間，但都得到適切的安排！ 沿路比較黑，加多點路燈就好了！

This was by far our worst experience in Tasmania, and also in all of Australia. We booked a standard cabin for $250 per night, though I am not sure whose “standard” it meets, certainly not ours. While the price matched our 5-star hotel in Hobart, we had obviously lowered expectations knowing Cradle Mountain accommodation is expensive. We arrived to a completely cold cabin, with no sign it had been heated. It was also very dirty: hairs and dirt on the floor, and cookware and cutlery had not been cleaned. Cobwebs many places in the ceiling and under the bed was all fuzzy and had old napkins laying there. The cabin itself was extremely dated and poorly maintained, with visible wear and water damage in multiple places. There was also no potable water, something not disclosed on Hotels.com or their website. A sign said to boil water from rainwater tap, but it contained visible dirt particles. Later that evening, we found a mouse inside the cabin. Very shocking! It left through a gap under the door (likely how it entered too), which we had to block with a towel. We raised these issues the next day, as reception was closed earlier, but only received a brief apology and no action. Overall, a very disappointing stay and far below expectations for the price.
