Staff check in fantastic at the time ! Rooms/cabin spa suite with fireplace no tv, no Wi-Fi, no phone reception, small bar fridge all manageable for us. Restaurant meals and fine dining experience was expensive but worth it, service from our waitress made our special dinner. The several tracks from the hotel are short walks are well worth the effort, distance to shuttle bus into cradle mountain walking distance from reception.

    “Excellent location right at the entrance to the National Park. The staff were excellent and helpful. The hotel has a cosy lodge/reception area. Dining and breakfast were pretty good although somewhat costly. The rooms are clean and cosy. Can park as vehicle right in front of your room. Walking to the lodge from your room is very easy.”

  • A wonderful way to experience the wilderness.

    “Our Pencil Pine cabin was very secluded with rainforest right outside the window. The gas fire was perfect and the shower was hot and strong. Very comfortable and cosy, a welcoming hug after a day out walking in the chilly air. The lounge area in the Lodge is a great place to relax, plenty of options for meals and beverages and the staff were all very friendly and accommodating.”

  • All was absolutely amazing!!!

    “I loved that it was close to the national park. A short walk to the interpretation centre where you access to all the walking tracks. The shorter walking tracks around the lodge were great. The staff were friendly and helpful. Always happy to answer questions or point me in the right direction.”
