Friendly welcome by Sam at reception, and we loved our Pademelon wood fire cabin! Perfect for the chilly weather and to meet our friendly residents - pademelon mum and baby, the rowdy pied currawong couple, hungry echidna and a very persistent brushtail possum who tried to push his way into the cabin when we wanted to get a log for our fire. The vintage DVDs were god-send - thank you. We managed to beat the crowd and avoid the shuttle by heading into the park early - but remember to display your national park pass on your dashboard (which we forgot!). Cradle Mountain was different and interesting - bring your hiking boots, a big heart, and be prepared for all weather possibilities.

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.

Location was amazing. I had a log cabin surrounded by the forest, across the road from the Cradle Mountain Visitors Centre. Cabin had a kichen (fridge, microwave, stove/oven, kettle, coffee pod machine), living room and small dining table for 2. Bedroom had a large bwmed, bathroom had shower and separate bathtub. Views were awesome. For heat, there was a small radiator and electric blankets, as well as a wood burning fireplace, with a good supply of wood. It was already set up for me to light. My only concerns were: the bed was waybtoo firm and I didnt sleep well. The fireplace was great but I woke up twice during the night and had to add wood. But overall, I liked the stay and cabin

Tallowood Spa parking approx 30m+ to cabin - not close if carrying large items. Cabin itself was good experience/condition good. Clean, quiet, warm with wood fire (wood supplied). Shower water pressure good and hot. Close to visitor centre and parking area , shuttle to Dove lake and other walks. Good location for exploring park including driving distance to Cradle Mountain Lodge and Devils Sanctuary.

The cabin was clean and well appointed and the gas heating, combined with double glazing and great insulation, meant that it was very cosy. The layout of the cabins on the property is such that you had the impression of being the only ones there - great privacy. Being opposite the Visitor Information Centre meant that we didn’t need the car for three days.

Magic seeing all the wildlife come to the door

What a great stay. Was a bit freaked out by the wildlife at the door when going to look out at the stars. The snow was magical. definitely not 5 star, rustic cabin but this is why it’s so fantastic. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else.

We absolutely loved our stay at Cradle Highlander and wish we could have stayed longer than one night. It is such a charming place - we loved the cosiness of our cabin, especially the wood fire and comfy bed. We also enjoyed the peaceful surrounds and privacy. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed to make a nice dinner. If you're looking for an authentic wood cabin experience immersed in native bush, this is it!

We stayed in the two story cabin with our two little kids. It was such a wholesome little house and made our trip to cradle one we will remember. It was our fav accomodation during our whole trip to tassie. We cooked both nights in the cabin, the kitchen is well equiped. It was lovely and warm and cozy and we could do laundry on-site too, which is a game changer with kids.
