Cradle Mountain Hotel

The hotel's location can't beat, right outside the Cradle Mountain National Park with 3 minutes drive. The public area is lovely: several fire places, outdoor seating facing forest, etc. I gave a 3-star for service because when we entered our room it's extremely warm. Turned out the heater was on (probably by the previous guest) but the housekeeping forgot to turn it off. We had to take out a portable fan from the closet and open the door to cool it off. The room was comfortable for one night but I was disappointed by the bathroom. The shower area is closed off only by curtain and the splashed water under the curtain made a big area all wet. The wash basin so small it's laughable. I wonder how anyone can bend over to wash face. And the mirror is not right in front of you but to the right! No extra rod to hang hand and wash towels. To be fair, it's adequate for one night. Our dinner was very good: chicken, lamb and trout. The breakfast buffet was sumptuous with a good spread. All in all, I would still recommend this hotel because of its proximity to the park.

We didn’t stay here - we stayed somewhere else with much regret. We drove down from the other so called top resort for dinner because the food and service were so bad. Altitude restaurant was excellent- great service and superb food. We had the lamb; fish and chicken - all very happy.

This will remain as a highlight of my Tasmania trip. Lovely hotel on the edge of the forest with comfortable rooms and great service. Reception staff were very helpful, to the extent of having stamps to sell me for my postcards, and holding them to be posted with other mail. All dining room and bar staff were cheerful and friendly.

Truly a wonderful hotel which provided two beds. One soft and one more firm which was perfect for my wife and I. Bathroom had the capability to be heated! Customers service: Thank you to Ollie who was our hostess and bar tender at night. This gentleman went the extra mile for us. We had an early flight the next day and had to miss their breakfast. I asked the front desk and they said they couldn’t do anything. I asked Ollie when I came to the restaurant and he really showed customer service. He went the extra mile to ask the head chef to pack something for us. My wife being pregnant was so thankful they packed us food. I mean we’re on top of a mountain with no food and had to drive straight 4 hours to the airport. Without Ollie, I don’t think we would have made it. This man deserves a raise and appraisal. He totally understands hospitality! Also the hotel next to the national park was pretty nice!

Wonderful three day stay here. The room was clean and spacious and only a few minutes away from the park entrance. The staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant and bar on the premise was convenient and provided good service. I definitely will stay here again.

The rooms have recently been renovated and are modern, spacious and comfortable. Service at the bar, restaurant, and front desk was excellent. We also appreciated the free laundry facilities and detergent, although one of the machines was out of order. Breakfast was simple but adequate. The location is very convenient, just a few minutes from the Cradle Mountain Visitor Centre. On the downside, the rollaway bed wasn’t very comfortable, I could feel the metal frame through the mattress. The soundproofing is not the best since the sound of people walking & running outside our rooms woke us up in the early mornings. The steak and fish at the restaurant during dinner were also a bit dry and tough. As other reviewers have mentioned, the wifi has a daily limit which we were not informed about but if you have data this wouldn't be a huge issue. Overall, though, our stay was comfortable and the biggest plus was the convenient location.

Convenient and good value hotel. Very close to the famous walks of cradle Mountain. We were really impressed with the food at the restaurant. Every dish was mouth-watering much better than I expected from a hotel restaurant and their wine list was very good as well. The staff were friendly and helpful. I can't speak highly enough of the service we received.

Beautiful classy hotel in the wilderness. Welcoming .. warm. Comfy beds.. Each room has a small viewing balcony so you can easily see the wildlife. Delicious buffet breakfast.. lovely lounges areas.. big fire.

We were staying at the Cradle Mountain Hotel so we ate dinner at the Altitude Restaurant every night of our stay. We decided to opt for the buffet - which was perfect for us after a day of walking and only a light lunch. The buffet featured seasonal and local produce and the selections changed daily. Everyday they had a live cooking station with a chef cooking a different dish to order. We thought that the food was excellent and reasonable value for money. The service staff were excellent - very professional.

Ate at the Altitude Restaurant in the hotel. They have an a la carte section and a buffet section ($48 for dinner adults). Their signature dish is a trio of meats (beef, lamb, and wallaby) from local producers. Served raw on your table, and you cook yourself on hot lava stones ($39). It sounds exciting, but in theory the meat comes out either undercooked or overcooked, and not well seasoned. A better dish was what I had, which was the porterhouse steak ($34) from a nearby farm on Mt Roland. It was grilled pretty well, and quite tasty. However, the mash that it was served it was very watery, and the veg side was average. Overall, an OK meal. But I guess you can't be picky with such few choices for dining at Cradle Mountain.

Called in to Cradle Mountain Hotel for a look. Ended up eating lunch. Had the steak sanga with chips. Absolutely delicious. Apart from that Cradle mountain didn't do much for me, except waste a few hrs driving time on our way to Strahan. Prob won't do that again.

Nice hotel, walls are a bit thin so you can hear people stomping around in the corridors. Staff are pleasant and helpful. Great place to stay if you want to do a trek. Facilities are clean. There is a free 15 min boardwalk and gallery. Nice restaurant but is a bit pricey but they do a good buffet. Pillows are a bit soft and mattress slightly sunken. Heating works well. They sell Cradle Mountain passes if required. They have a spa as well. They also have tea and coffee facilities.
