Very comfortable accommodation in lovely setting 30 mins drive from Cable Mountain. Well provided kitchen. Hot showers. Comfortable settee. Large screen tv. All we could ask for - just sorry our stay wasnt longer! Saw echidna and pademelon.

We stayed here overnight before we started the overland track. It was more affordable than staying up right outside the national park but still only a short drive away. The room was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. Although I didnt get to try it out, the spa in the room looks like it would be wonderful. I'd stay here again.

Although the property is older we were happy to discover the bathroom was brand new and the property was clean and well appointed with everything you would need eg cooking equipment, wine glasses etc. Being in amongst the forest and the trees and seeing the local wildlife was really lovely. We could only stay one night but I would have liked to have stayed longer. Not super close to Cradle Mountain but fine if you have a car.

The location was great near to cradle mountain and caves. Local wildlife was also good. The cottage needs a bit more light in the kitchen, there is only one light for kitchen dining and living area. One light in the kitchen area would help with meal preparation and dishwashing.

We had the Cradle Cabin. This one is tough for me to review as it’s not what I’m used to while visiting Australia. It’s a rustic cabin, with cabin like feel, it was cozy, clean, beds were comfortable and sheets and comforter were fresh linens. Bathroom is modern but the rest of the cabin is dated.Nothing is around here so you will need to drive 25 min. for a restaurant.

Lovely location, tranquil and well maintained property. Not too far drive to Cradle Mountain and all the great walks in the area. Well stocked for cooking your breakfast (eggs, bacon, tomato, bread for toasting, yum!) Bring your own provisions for cooking dinner as the villa provides pretty well all utensils needed.
