It is a good place to stay on Cradle Mountain, very close to the visitors centre and the Cradle Mountain Devil Park, each cabin feels secluded in the bush setting.
I was lucky to have a pademelon come and sit right next to me while I was sitting on the steps of our cabin.

A 30 min drive from cradle mountain, a 30 min drive from Sheffield, great location as a base for exploring he region. Host gave is the heads up that there were limited local options for food however the cafe across the road had great coffee, snacks, and dinners which could be eaten in the cafe or back in our cabin. Spa bath was awesome after a long day of hiking!
Set within 34 km of Dove Lake in Moina, Cradle Alpine Retreat offers accommodation with seating area. There is a private entrance at the bed and breakfast for the convenience of those who stay.

Our cabin was spacious, clean, well equipped, and situated in a park like setting. It was in a good location with reasonable access to many attractions.
We had trouble with our TV on arrival, and Shepherd went out of his way to solve the problem.
Offering scenic views of the garden, Tiny Escapes Cradle Valley is set in Moina, 28 km from Dove Lake There is a private entrance at the chalet for the convenience of those who stay.
The national park facilities are fabulous. The Dove Lake circuit walk was beautiful. Some sections on the walk though were tricky especially for those perhaps not so agile. Lots of steps with some step and narrow. Not bad enough to not get through it but just be wary that it is not all flat.
The second walk up to Lilla Lake and the Wombat Pool were also beautiful with also some tricky bits on the track. But the return trip from the Wombat Pool (if you are not continuing on) reveals a stunning view of both Lilla Lake and Dove Lake behind it. Didn’t notice it on the way up only on the return. The walks are very rewarding. A real wilderness adventure. But remember the sunscreen and a small first aid kit for any little mishaps on the way. We had a very clear, stable weather day but the weather can change in an instant so just be prepared for a cold change even if it’s a sunny start. The shuttle buses from the visitor centre to Dove Lake ran every 10-15 minutes and were very efficient. If you want to have a break between a couple of walks, the visitor centre has a very good cafe and easily accessible to have lunch then return on a shuttle bus to one of the stops to continue. There are clean toilet facilities and water refilling stations at the different stops in the park. Cradle Mountain is beautiful

Great hikes, well signed trails, beautiful scenery and waterfalls, clean air and wildlife. Did the Dove Lake Circuit, Wombat Pool and Crater Lake all amazing.
We ate at Hellyers Restaurant one night which was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended and the two other nights at Cradle Mountain Lodge which had traditional pub fare but very well done. Very Cosy atmosphere with great fireplaces.

We are a couple of seniors who enjoy natural environments but cannot walk far. The Shuttle bus service and graded walks were marvelous. we got to see the sites we wanted to and wildlife too. We recommend the Dove Lake short walks, although there are some steps and Ronny Creek for a picnic. Peppers Lodge has a bar where you buy pizzas or other lunch items and also see wombats or echidnas outside. Bring layers of clothes with wet weather gear, good footwear and walking poles to keep your balance on uneven surfaces. During our two days in February we experienced high winds, freezing rain, mist and brilliant sunshine.

- An amazing place with interesting fauna, flora, and of course rock formations.
- The buses run smoothly from the visitor centre into and throughout the park to save on traffic.
- A number of options for walks with little kids.
- Expensive food in the accommodation or tavern, we brought our food with us for much of our needs to reduce cost.
- The 'Devils at Cradle' guide was very experienced and we enjoyed learning from him and watching the devils in the sanctuary.

See reviews by guests who stayed at hotels in Cradle Mountain
The hotel is just in the Conservation area of Cradle Mountain. Stunning scenery, fresh air, wildlife and hiking trails - everything in one place. Definitely worths staying. Breakfast was included and it was delicious and there were a great variety of food, fresh fruit, etc.
Great location if you are looking to visit cradle mountain. Facilities are basic but clean and warm. The dorm room cabins are quite small for 4 people and bathroom access is outside. More car parking spaces are needed for the dorm cabins.
Near to cradle mountain visitor centre. Convenient to do all the short trails via a short drive. Hotel provides refillable fresh milk. The cabin is very spacious. Our premium king cabin 2 bedrooms even has a jacuzzi bath tub!
The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The location was great (2 minute drive from the cradle mountain visitor centre). Got to see wildlife in and around the hotel. The restaurant food was really good.
The property is such a perfect location and across the road from the visitor center to visit cradle mountain and get coffee. The cabins are very private and a little oasis amongst nature.
