The cabin was spotless and the location provided everything we needed to explore Cradle Mountain and surrounds. The nightly visits by Pademelons was an added bonus.

Lovely accomodation with up to date thorough instructions on how to access the property and things to do near by.
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.

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.
