Loved it was immersed in nature , the comfortable feel of a snow lodge , the shared fires and cosy chairs in the tavern and waiting room . breakfast is included - that’s a bonus when you are in the middle of nowhere !

Philippa Australia

The best lodge in Australia housekeeping, restaurant, spa and very friendly staff overall except front desk

Bo Australia

While the room came with quite a hefty price tag, the quality of the room was off the charts. Being able to relax in the hot tub after a day of exploring the Mountain was pretty much worth the cost. The room was huge and updated. I had seen some reviews from a while back, suggesting the King Billy Suite was dated, but the property has clearly been refurbished since then. Everything was top-notch quality. The location itself was also amazing, with an easy ability to access surrounding walks.

Belinda Australia

Fantastic position nestled in the bush and being so close to Cradle Mountain. Cosy getaway with gas fire and spa to keep warm.Enchanting walk back to the lodge for yummy meals at the Tavern with real chalet feel and big open fires.

Sally Australia

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.

Kirsten Australia

Room was spacious and very comfortable and well equipped. Location is the best. Staff and facilities were both great.

Paul Australia

facilities were excellent, beds and linen very comfy

Kylie Australia

Very cosy chalet, plenty of space, fresh towels daily, proximity to walks

Andrew Australia

Amazing location, right on the edge of the cradle mountain national park. There a multiple walks that begin within the grounds of the lodge. Staff were very friendly and the food at both the restaurant and bistro was great,

Dean90 Australia
