Cradle Mountain – 5 hotels and places to stay

Cradle Mountain Wilderness Village offers self-contained accommodations, nestled in a rainforest setting with native wildlife throughout the property.

Staff was friendly, sweet, and helpful. Good location with a walking trail that led to the Visitor's Center. Definitely a step up from other nearby cabins (we stayed in a newer King Spa Chalet). Loved the back deck nestled into the eucalyptus trees; it was very private and felt like we were in our own special treehouse. Cabin warmed up fast with the powerful gas fireplace/stove. Very nice to provide fresh milk and coffee pods. Overall, a positive experience with a few things (see below) that need a bit more Tender Loving Care (TLC).

Cradle Mountain Hotel is located in alpine woodland at the northern end of Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Clair National Park.

Everything. The location. The room and amenities. The vista from the room. The pristine, clean air. The quietness of the surroundings. The ambience. The Wilderness Centre gallery. The food was great - breakfast and dinners. The chef must be good as the dinners were all delicious and presented beautifully. And all staff were very helpful and congenial, particularly the wait staff who showed good humour and knowledgeable about all options. Reception staff also very helpful and friendly. Let’s not forget the room attendants who work hard to present a comfortable and clean room to enjoy after a day or days of long, beautiful walks. Thanks everyone at Cradle Mountain Hotel.

Experience luxury in the heart of UNESCO World Heritage-listed Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park.

Everything about this lodge is special and beautiful! Our room was very clean, spacious and we loved the balcony's and spa bath. The lodge building is so atmospheric with open fires, warm and comfy couches. The restaurant is great for a special dinner and the bistro excellent for casual dining and we enjoyed participating in the trivia night too! The location is so easy to access the shuttle bus into the National Park, just a short walk from the Ranger Station Interpretation Centre where the bus picks up. We loved all the short walks around the lodge, the animal life is so special and the forest surrounds spectacular.

Tiny Escapes Cradle Valley offers accommodations in Moina, 17 miles from Dove Lake. There's a private entrance at the chalet for the convenience of those who stay.

The tiny home felt really peaceful and private. We loved the outdoor space and being able to enjoy the bush with no one else in site. Cradle Mountain is only a short drive away.

    The national park facilities are fabulous.

    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.

    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.

    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.
