The location, serenity and extras provided by host.
One of the most scenic places we have ever seen. We went back into the park late at night to stargaze. We had never seen the Milky Way look like that. Utterly beguiling, a true “must do”. Dove Lake is just a perfect place to visit. We will definitely be returning.

An absolutely stunning national park, with lakes and mountains and lots of fresh air!
There is only one road into the park, and once you have passed the visitor centre and various accommodation options, CM can only be accessed via the Park Service's shuttle buses. This has stopped the nightmare of people driving on roads they are not capable of handling, and makes your trip up to Dove Lake far more pleasant,
Check the park service's website for ticket options and prices, and also for the range of marked walking trails to suit all capabilities.
Check out the photos, and make sure you visit at least once!

If you love walking, hiking or mountains in general Cradle Mountain is a blessing. Walks and circuits for every person, from the easy to the challenging one, from 20 minutes to 10 hours depending on your readiness, fitness, and training. Clean and well-maintained with spectacular views from the top, weather permitting :-). Keep in mind that you are in a mountain environment and the weather can change quickly and completely in a very short time. Good phone coverage on quite the whole area, and if you are into astrophotography its a Bortle 1 sky, cannot get better then that.

We loved our visit to Cradle Mountain.
We loved our visit to Cradle Mountain. Our first stop was the Devils @ Cradle sanctuary where we had an excellent tour guide who was very knowledgeable about the Tasmanian Devil and the Quolls at the sanctuary. We were able to see 5 Devils being fed. Though they looked cute, they had very sharp teeth and managed to tear through the meat and bones quickly. We then went on a bus trip to Dove Lake and were able to take some great photos. Would love to visit here again.

A wonderful place!
A wonderful place! Well worth visiting for its natural beauty, walks and wildlife. Also very well organised with shuttle around the park and to major walking tracks. Definitely worth visiting ng Waldheim for the history of the place

Love the walks at Cradle Mountain.
Love the walks at Cradle Mountain. We went to devils@cradel which was so interesting. Really recommend it but keep your hands out of the devil enclosures! Bring warm clothes - lots of layers is best. We were there end of Feb and it was cold at night and early morning. We had a wild wombat just amble by, eating as it went.

Cradle Mountain Wilderness Village is a perfect location to base yourself for a day or two to explore this magnificent part of Tasmania. It is within strolling distance of the Parks visitor center
The accommodation was clean and comfortable, however, a little tired. The setting is beautiful, with cabins nestled amongst the trees and wildlife.
Hellyers restaurant was very good and I would have no hesitation in recommending treating yourself to a meal in front of the fire.
This is the place to stay when visiting Cradle Mountain National Park. Our room was of good size and the shared kitchen and bathroom s were reached by walking under a covered walkway. The kitchen was very large with plenty of equipment to prepare your own food. Two refrigerators were available for food storage. The gas heater in the kitchen was awesome on cold nights and mornings. The visitor center and shuttle bus to hiking trails was a 6 minute walk from the camp office.
A bit smaller than I expected but still ok. Bathroom was small compared to some other places I have stayed on this trip. Room was clean and tidy and beds were comfy. We had room service on our first night which was lovely and ate at the bistro on our second night and had a game of pool - really lovely atmosphere and music and the "hot gin" was awesome!! Unfortunately, we had a lot of rain and no snow but we still really enjoyed our stay at Cradle Mountain Hotel.
Our family of three absolutely loved our stay at the Cradle Mountain Highlanders. It was our favourite accommodation whilst in Tassie. It was very clean and well appointed. Excellent cooking facilities. The beds were super comfortable. The cabins are spaced well appart with trees all around with wildlife literally at your doorstep. It was such a peaceful, private place to stay, so quiet. We would definitely stay here again.
If you want to stay close to cradle mountain your options are limited. Its pretty much this or Peppers and you will pay for the experience at either. Rooms were clean, warm comfortable, and well spaced apart. Facilities are limited in terms of meals. No breakfast or lunch on offer on restaurant. We went for our wedding anniversary and ate at the restaurant in the evening and the meal was fine.
Cradle Mountain Highlanders is a exceptional property. If you are going to spend any time at Cradle Mountain stay here if you can get a room. The property is Clean and the Staff is great. I had to adjust my dates and the staff did it with out going trough booking. You can walk to the visitors center and catch the bus to all the stops on the mountain. Great Great Place!
Free shuttle bus to connect to the cradle mountain shuttle bus. Very convenient. Indoor spa tub can help you recover from the trails. Warm fireplace keeps you warm and the balcony will have wild animals and easy to see the stars. The hotel itself has a lot of trails from 10minutes to 1 hour. The breakfast is very good.
The Tavern food was absolutely delicious and well priced. Our Cabin was towards the back of the hotel area with a forest walk right outside our door. The forest view was amazing, so calming and peaceful. The hotel itself is just outside the national park, and a 2min walk to the nearest shuttle bus stop.
Cosy cottage with kitchen and everything you need. Lots of wildlife to.see right at your front door. Only 5 minutes walk to the visitor center where you can catch the shuttle bus to all the great hikes/climbs/walks. Will definitely stay here again when returning to Cradle Mountain.
The rooms, fireplace and the environment were just amazing at the hotel. The rooms were super comfortable. There are 2 restaurants at the hotel which served great food. I honestly believe this is the best hotel at Cradle Mountain, compared to other hotels I previously stayed there.
Lovely location for our stay at Cradle Mountain, cosy fires lit all around the building throughout the day. Mulled wine and baileys hot chocolate around the fire in the evening was a great finish after a day of hiking cradle mountain national park. Would highly recommend.
The rooms are within the same building as the bar and restaurant. Unlike other places at cradle mountain where you have to go outside in the rain/snow/wind to reach the restaurant. Cosy sitting areas with fireplaces throughout the hotel.
We stayed in one of the cabins on about a zero degree night, heating was cosy and warm and electric blankets on the bed, we were very comfortable. Great location for cradle mountain exploring. We would’ve happily stayed longer.
Highlanders was perfect - the cabins were well organised the staff wonderful and the location is perfect . Walking distance to the visitor centre to catch the bus to cradle mountain
