Lodge Discovery Parks – Cradle Mountain

3832 Cradle Mountain Road, 7306 Cradle Mountain, Australia –

Lock in a great price for Discovery Parks – Cradle Mountain – rated 8.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

Self catering accommodation. The facilities are limited. There is a kiosk/ general store at the reception area, but quite pricey and not a lot to choose from. We purchased TV dinners at a supermarket before coming here. The cabin was comfortable, and the electric blanket was most welcome. It can be very cold here so make sure you have a warm coat. We traveled in March and it was very cold. Quiet adequate for a one night stay.

Pam, Australia

Comfy bed in cabin good heating . Cabin had everything we needed . Close to the visitors centre

Anurag, Australia

Very close to the Cradle Mountain Park, you can walk there.

玥, China

I liked the location and it was pretty private. I liked the full size fridge.

Kaye, Australia

Excellent location just across the street from the visitors centre. Easy walk down to the restaurant/pub, or there is a shuttle until ~7pm in summers. Full kitchen and decent amount of room for 3 adults.

L, United States of America

Lovely cottage even though bit old. Shuttle to cradle mountain very prompt and efficient WiFI reception means a little walk everyt8me you want to connect but lovely wooded area so you don’t mind. Store well stocked with essentials. We managed Hanson’s peak, face track, Wilks lake, ballroom forest and dove lake circuit Rain played spoilsport on one day but sun was out late evening so got some great sunset pictures If driv8ng from Swansea don’t miss the quaint coffee shop book seller with great deals on books, cakes coffee and Alice in wonderland decor.

Beautiful weather made a perfect stay. Everything was as described as per the booking.com website, probably a bit better than what i was expecting. Facilities where good, eg bbq, kitchens and washing facilities. Gas fire heating was very effective.

“Great location, but poor value for money”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Standard Cabin
- • Stayed 2 nights
The standard cabin was very small for us as a family of 4, so I can't imagine how cramped it would be for 6 people. I would not have wanted to stay more than a couple of nights. It was difficult finding space to put our suitcases and our things. There was limited places to sit of an evening so the only option for some was to go to bed. It would be very difficult to use the cooking facilities to make any kind of meal due to the size of the whole area. The cabin was also very dark which added to the claustrophobic atmosphere. While the main bed was made up, the bunks were not, so we had to make them ourselves. For the cost, I would have expected beds to be made. It was not good value for money overall.
Fantastic location. No chance of being cold- heater made it very hot! A good base for a brief stop to explore the area.

The bathroom is outside of the room and with some walking distance. The share kitchen has strong food smell. There is no wifi around the room and need to drive out to reception area.
The location is good. Near to cradle mountain. The bathroom is clean and warm.

We had a great stay in the holiday park over Easter weekend. We had a family bunk room which would have been crowded for 4 but was fine for 2. The kitchen and bathrooms were clean and really close to our rooms. Shop onsite stocks drinks at reasonable prices and basic groceries. Really close to the Dove Lake shuttle.

Location was great and after a few days of camping the bed and shower were amazing! Only two of us stayed so the 2 bunks were a waste of space but not an issue - perfect for couples and families. The small shop at reception was super handy (basic food and LOTS of wine).

Older cabin not well oriented to capture sun or views. Newer cabin did not have a place to hang raincoats on outside although it did have a veranda for boots.
We took 2 cabins for our family of 5. They were differently appointed, which the newer cabin having a better layout but fewer bathrooms. Heating was very good, kitchen had enough equipment to make a basic meal. Lounge chairs were comfortable. The location was superb as you could cross the road for the visitor centre to catch the shuttle bus into the park.
