Our stay at Discovery Resorts – Cradle Mountain was unfortunately very disappointing, mainly due to the number of bugs inside the cabin. We expected some insects given the bush setting, but this went far beyond what felt reasonable. We found bugs inside the room, including in the bathroom and near the sleeping area, which made it very uncomfortable and hard to relax. At this price point, better pest control and cleanliness should be expected.
The cabin itself also felt old and poorly maintained. It looked tired, with dated furnishings and signs of wear that made the space feel unclean rather than rustic. Combined with the bug issue, this gave the impression that the accommodation hasn’t been properly updated or thoroughly cleaned between guests. Heating was also inconsistent, which is a major issue in Cradle Mountain’s cold climate.
While the surrounding environment and location are undeniably beautiful, the accommodation didn’t match the setting. Staff were polite but not particularly proactive when issues were raised, and overall the stay felt like poor value for money. Given the cost and expectations of staying so close to Cradle Mountain, we were left quite disappointed and would not choose to stay here again.
