Pity the cafe closes at 2pm

Chalet accommodation in a great bush setting.

Comfortable and spacious room. Clean and as advertised. Wallabies in the garden right after dusk was a bonus.

Unexpected noise outside our cabin at night ( this would not be usual.. it’s generally a very quiet area).

Great location to access Cradle Mountian for day walks, and still close to other regions we wanted to visit too. Having a kitchenette and heater was great. Very pretty bush setting.

Very accommodating host happy to share her knowledge of the Cradle Mountain area and fit in with your plans. Good decent sized well-appointed cabin with very comfy bed. Convenient location for Cradle Mountain (easy 30km - 20 mins drive). Decent cafe for breakfast which opens early (with good coffee) and can also order tasty home cooked dinners delivered to your rooms (pumpkin soup was superb) for the evenings. Wonderful to see small wallabies / pademelons grazing outside the window. For a city dweller, the night skies are superb (try to find a dark spot out of the street and Cradle Gateway lighting). Wifi was reliable and important given that reception in general in the area is poor. Note that there are no shops or anything so get snacks, drinks etc from Deloraine or Sheffield on the way in. Microwave, toaster, crockery, cutlery, basic utensils etc in the cabin so could also self cater simple breakfasts (though I ate at the cafe).

The Manager Anita was extremely helpful

Couple pieces of the crockery were chipped.

Being able to get an evening meal there, delivered to the door, was wonderful. Feeding of the wallabies outside the huts was an unexpected extra surprise. Such friendly staff and bonus wine and beer tasting was great.

Our only complaint was the the second morning there was no hot water. We knew the distance to Cradle Mtn Visitors Centre, but probably if we come again, we will decide to pay (a lot) more to be closer and avoid that drive. Many of the fittings (Taps etc) were shabby, but the current owners have only been there for a little while and are working hard to build up the business so I’m sure if we return in a couple of years that will have been addressed.

Peaceful surroundings. Very friendly hostess. Possibility of simple home cooked meals if ordered, and although the cafe closes at 3, our hostess could arrange food to be delivered. Comfortable bed. Wifi adequate for our needs. There is a heater in the room so we were warm and cosy. Enough plates, bowls and cutlery to self cater if you brought provisions.

It was a pleasant experience in all aspects.

The stay was great. the room was very clean and spacious. The owner went out of her way to be helpful and provide lovely meals when it was not necessary but helpful for us.

Would have been good to have cooking facilities.

Lovely chalet around 25 mins from Cradle Mountain. Cosy apartment with comfy beds and clean bathroom. Attentive host. Has a cafe attached to the apartments which was great for breakfast in the morning, with great coffee.

It is a drive to Cradle Mountain. The 20 minutes in the morning isn't bad, but in the dark feels a bit treacherous with all the wildlife.

Our rooms were quite comfy. Very basic kitchenette, and that was fine. Very quiet. Felt quite rural. Hosts were very helpful and accommodating. Food was surprisingly good. Definitely would recommend getting lunch/dinner from them.

Nothing

Anita and Dwayne were lovely as hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was spotlessly clean and the bed very comfortable.

Not much nearby.

The owners are very friendly and helpful. The room had all the basic necessities. They had a good room heater and an electric blanket for the bed. They are located about 30 minutes drive from Cradle Mountain National Park. The wallabies shown were outside the rooms window. The other photos are from Cradle Mountain.

Anita was a warm and friendly host. The meals we ordered for our dinner were delivered right on time, even in the rain, and were delicious! The location is great, with lots of bush around and plenty of wildlife. Only 20 or so minutes from the Cradle Mountain visitors centre.

Due to the remoteness of the room and lack of dining options, a cooker of some sort would be great to have in the room.

Very comfortable room. Large, well equipped

Poor reception, but was informed beforehand

Cozy getaway close to Cradle Mountain

Described as having kitchenette, but had only microwave, no cooktop, no chopping board and no containers for cooking in microwave. Owner did prepare BBQ plate one night so we could cook sausages.

good location near Cradle Mountain but at a more reasonable cost. Comfortable with table and chairs indoor and on verandah.

None were dealbreakers but just for future guest's information: - Through no fault of the property there's like no convenient stores nearby and mobile phone reception is very limited (as you would find in many remote areas of tasmania but telstra was fine for basic browsing and calls). - I think most of the rooms are actually all joined by separate walls connected overall as one whole building, separated by the staff laundry in the middle? So just be mindful of the noise. Thankfully when I stayed there was only one other group staying on the opposite side of our cabin - The bright light outside the room peers right through the cheap roller blind gaps (non blockout) with no switch to turn it off. I think it's for the car parking spot but if you're a bit sensitive to light at night this may be annoying to some as in my room it literally shone through lounge area overlooking the bed - Random ugly black cheap shag carpet in the middle of the room, I wondered what it was covering up if any? Or just the really old scruffy carpet (it's clean but just very old and dirty looking being in the wilderness). - No kitchen onsite to cook anything other than in room microwave and kettle. I think there was a basic toaster too (but they offer good and affordable food options to make up for this)

+ Easy to spot at night, it's right on the main road out of the area. Super super quiet area so when something goes past it can unfortunately sound louder than it probably is (especially trucks and loud motorbikes) + Super communicative and helpful host (Anita was great and responded within a reasonable time - relatively quickly usually) + Cabins as clean as can be when considering where they are so no real complaints, it's an old building so also expect some creaky floors. Yes there were cobwebs in places but not a real issue for me personally. + Hot water and mini bathtub after a long day was relaxing + Basic heater and electric blankets (although I stayed in summer so it wasn't an issue) + Kettle and microwave some basic bowls and washing up equipment to clean up after your stay + Iron and hairdryer + Satellite TV (not that I watched it but when I turned it on out of curiosity the reception seemed pretty good) + Cradle NP area is pretty expensive last minute so the 20-30min drive was fine for me to the property, the awesome cafe making real coffee at reasonable prices made up for it!!

The carpet could do with a good vacuum and the less utilised areas such as window sills with a good clean.

The studio was very spacious and well equipped. The bathroom had a bathtub and shower pressure was great. The decor was very pleasant and it made it feel like a true mountain chalet. Food was available for in house guests even when the café was closed.

Information about catering. I was informed that I would need to self cater unless I wanted to book into a restaurant which would require driving at night. On arrival the owner told me that she could provide dinners and breakfast but I already had purchased supplies by this time.

Convenient location near Cradle Mt National Park, pleasant garden setting, spacious room, easy hour walk down quiet forest roadway to a pretty dam.

I had to call on the day to gain information re access to unit and later for wifi details.

Good location and nice bushy setting en route to Cradle Mountain. Cabin was very clean and cosy.
