Located near the park entrance, instruction given for after hours check in but the assigned property is a bit tricky to find in the dark. Facility was great with kitchen, washroom with jacuzzi spa, and fireplace providing heating. Overall good experience staying in this cabin right in the Cradle Mountain National Park.

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.
