The cabin was cosy and quiet. We enjoyed that it had a spa however the covers for some of the jets were missing and needed replacing. It was lovely to have wallabies visit while sitting on the balcony in the afternoon.

It was lovely to arrive and find the lamps and heating on. The bed was also very comfortable. Only a 20 min drive from Cradle Mountain made it an ideal location for our stay.

Liked: Cleanliness
Made Fawlty Towers look good. No reception facilities, had to walk about in the rain to find someone, James who was very good, to tell me what to do. Very isolated, as you would expect, but a below average meal supplied by the new owners, when they eventually turned up. Room was fine but woulen't stay again.

Cradle Forest Inn was a great location for visiting and hiking the Cradle Mountain Park. IMPORTANT NOTE - You must bring your own drinking water - the water there is not potable & must be boiled to be consumed! We had brought 6 litres which we had bought. Without it we would have been hooped.

Had a great night stay here while visiting cradle mountain. The cabin exceeded expectations. It was simple but very clean and had privacy with nice views of the woods. The bed was comfortable with heated blankets and the cabin heat worked great as well. Had a little issue checking in when I was not provided the cabin number and door code (sounds like this is an Expedia issue, not the fault of the property). The onsite caretaker was very nice and got me squared away. Just reach out to them ahead if arriving if you don’t receive a check in code as cell service is very limited in the area. It’s a quick 20 minute drive to the park visitor center from here and there is a small cafe across the street for coffee and food. Would return!

Room was in good condition No contact with staff. TV was difficult to operate. When we got it working, the screen questiomed us that we may have watched too much TV!!!! Unfriendly warnings, insisting on guests washing their dishes, othetwise a surcharge. No tea towels were made available I like ordimary black tea. Only one tea bag made available. There were a couple of herbal tea bags.
