Hotel berhampiran Cradle Mountain, Cradle Mountain

We planned to stay at this hotel 3 years ago and our plan just resumed after Covid situation is not a key concern anymore. At first, we were quite worried about what we would get from the hotel after kept reading many negative reviews; however, we made a final decision to stick to our plan and it is the right decision! Everything was just perfect for us, especially its location. - Our room is clean and cozy. It has everything we need and a log fire to make us warm after hiking the whole day under the rain and a strong wind. No tv and wifi in the room but it is not our problem. We spent our 2 nights to enjoy the nature surrounding our room and Cradle Mt National Park. A telephone signal was quite strong, so we did not need free wifi at all. - All staffs were friendly and helpful. We sent many emails to confirm our booking, ask about hotel information, and make a reservation for our breakfast/dinner. They reply us promptly and provided all information we needed. Check-in and check-out process is really quick and staffs at the reception gave us a map and suggested us the track to walk around the hotel. - Foods are not bad as we expected as many reviews mentioned. Breakfast at Highland is on average and the choice of foods is not variety which is normal for the remote accommodation. If you would like to get the best slot for your breakfast, better book a table in advance. We also tried to have both lunch and dinner at Tavern Bar on the first day and we decided to spend for our dinner at Highland Restaurant on the second day. At dinner time, it is quite packed at Tavern Bar and it took more time to wait for a food which is understandable and please be patient. Booking at Highland is required and they have only set menu which is worth to try. - Only one thing is the room rate is a little bit pricey but it is understandable. It is only the hotel located in Cradle Mt. National Park, the remote accommodation that provide the best spot to access all hiking tracks in this park. If you would like to get some short rest after long hour hiking and the most convenient stay before and after hiking in Cradle Mt, this place is the most perfect and has everything you need!

What can I say besides perfection. I wanted the whole cabn, fireplace, comfort feel and that is what we got. 2 nights in the Pandani cabin was amazing. Wallabies at our front door, beautiful snow fall and great facilities. Perfect set up for a family ! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were blessed to experience snowfall on both days! We will stay here again on a future trip, we'll located close to visitor centre and bus to the mountain. Highly recommend to all and glad that I chose to stay here .

We managed to do early check-in before official time. However, we realised the cottage was not clean at all as rubbish wasn't cleared, floors not vacuumed & towels left hanging around, likely by previous guests. So we had to return to reception to feedback & they immediately got housekeeping to do the job. Reception staff could do better with more smiles though. Cottage was quite roomy for 2 pax, but could be a bit tight if 4 pax were to stay together. Pretty basic accommodation but it was strategically located near Cradle Mountain visitor centre. Overall, a unique experience to stay in a mountain cottage like this, just that free WiFi was only available at reception & not in the cottage itself.

十分滿意！位置就在景區服務中心斜對面，車停在自家小木屋前面。儘管説夏天遇上一個超級大風天氣，我們還是打開了暖氣，非常好用，廚房配置也足夠（附近沒啥超市，要提前採購）。餐廳早晚餐提供時間有限且需要預訂，畢竟那邊人手有限，我們時間不靠譜所以沒有嘗試。可以去餐廳買咖啡，味道還行，餐廳位置絕佳可以遠眺搖籃山。前台小姐姐很友好，注意入住時間。

The room was pleasant & clean, the heater worked ok, & the bed was very comfortable. One drawback is that the door to the room was a lightweight door so anyone talking in the passage was loud enough to sound as if they were in the room. The view from the room was relaxing, but alas I didn't see any wildlife, that's nature for you. Unfortunately half the rooms were without hot water on the first morning, so it was a cold shower. The evening meal was ok, but not the greatest. Being on a tour we were lucky enough to have a cheese & wine tasting afternoon, which was fun. There are some paths through the grounds at the back. It was pleasant walk, where I did actually see some wildlife, lots of skinks. They run off pretty quickly.
