Peppers Cradle Mountain Lodge

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cradle Mountain Lodge. The cabin was lovely, clean, and spacious, with a real wood fireplace that added to its charm. The highlight, however, was the incredible wildlife - just walking from the cabin to the restaurant, we encountered so many animals! The trails starting from the lodge are easy and beautiful to explore, and the location, just a five-minute walk from the shuttle bus, is very convenient. The staff were lovely, and the night safari was a fun and memorable experience.

The location is great, close to the national park and trails. We saw a lot of wildlife animals around the property. The general atmosphere is warm and has an old charm feeling. The cabin is comfortable and feels warm and welcoming. All facilities in the room are functional and well maintained. The communication is excellent from the reservation team, front office, and housekeeping. All the requests passed on correctly. Check-in was smooth and informative, and staff members were very friendly and helpful. The room was well clean and excellent the quality of Bedsheets and towals. F&B We had meals every day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner during our stay. The food was good and tasty, but there was some hit and missed on someday. For example, we found a long hair in one of the dishes but staff apologised and changed a new dish straight away.

The location was amazing! The wildlife at your door is incredible - we saw an echidna and wombat within minutes of arriving. The local platypus was a bonus! The lodge is set up to create a wood cabin feel with big cozy leather lounges, fire places and games. You can have a coffee or hot chocolate while enjoying the atmosphere. The rooms were very comfortable, bed super big and cozy, spa bathtub fabulous for soaking tired muscles and the rooms provided crockery and cutlery if you had your own Tassie produce to eat which meant you don’t need to buy at the near by restaurants if you come prepared. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious, although at peak times the team are really working hard to keep up! A little kindness and politeness and they are very happy to help you or get what you need. Bishal on the restaurant and tavern was an added bonus - smiling and welcoming on our arrival each time and went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met! Lovely guy! All the team were lovely, he particularly stood out. We used the spa for a massage and a session at the sanctuary - the spa and sauna was both working and was AMAZING! Staying with such easy access to the national park and the beautiful local surrounds and wildlife is well worth the money. You are paying for the experience, the surrounds and a very cosy and comfortable stay with a highly suitable vibe and atmosphere that is exactly what you imagine a lodge to be.

The proximity to all activities in the park was excellent, and the grounds themselves were a good springboard for several walks of different skill and fitness requirements. The cabin - not room - was comfortable and delightfully warm when I arrived on a drizzly cold day; it was also very large and extremely private. Parking right outside your 'room' is a bonus. The breakfast provided was excellent, and the special dinner for Christmas was outstanding. Food in the tavern was also excellent.

The staff and being do close to nature was unforgettable. Highly recommend a visit to the day spa, heavenly, I totally fell asleep - comfortable treatment tables and skilled staff.
