Lovely cottage amidst the trees and wildlife. Amazing view of the stars at night. Very clean, comfortable and cozy. Lovely staff. I would love to come back and stay longer in the cottage next time. (Very handy to the visitors centre, buses and general store.)

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.
