Peppers Cradle Mountain Lodge

A wonderful experience to cherish. Such an incredible location. The resort is perfect for this special experience and the resort has that air of class and level of sophistication that comes with such places. The spa cabin was excellent and tho gas fireplace added so much to the stay. However the resort could benefit from some upgrades and maintenance. The breakfast experience is exceptional and the coffee is among the best I have had. Highly recommended.

A must visit area of Tasmania and Cradle Mountain lodge is right on the doorstep of the National Park. The rooms are comfortable and the gas fire helps keep the room cosy on a good winters day. Excellent facilities, the Enchanted Walk and King Billy Walk are both stunning. Excellent restaurant and tavern attached to the lodge. Plenty of wild life exploring around the cabins. The bottle of wine and chocolates were a welcome surprise. It has been 30 years since I last stayed here and it didn’t disappoint. The staff were friendly and helpful.

For $850/ night it feels like a rip off. The fact that there is not much accommodation around, price are marked up so high that it does not justify the price and service amenities provided. No slippers/ no hairdryer. Breakfast is charged at $40 each. Very basic breakfast. I am lactose and gluten intolerant, I do not have much options, except a corner with porridge but has milk inside. My coffee did not come for 40 minutes, I have to wait at the bar. Better bring your own food as they charge the food really expensive at the bar and restaurant- no alacarte at the restaurant they charged $100-150 for a standard 2 course,3 course meal. My burger at the bar cost $38. They mixed our salad up but we have to pay for it. If the price of accommodation is $300-$400, yes it’s okay. But for an $850 accommodation and $40 breakfast and burger. I think they should reevaluate the pricing or upgrade the service standard.

Great walks with fantastic views. Cabins were comfy, and to see platypus, wombats , paddy melons plus all the other animals was awesome. Loved every minute of the stay

We had a fantastic stay at Cradle Mountain lodge in a pencil pine room. We almost didn't book based on the negative reviews, but glad we did. The staff were great and helped with local walks and explained the process for the bus to Dove lake and the national park. The room was very good, well maintained, clean, peaceful and no tv, which was great to actually relax. Fully stocked mini bar and lovely gas fireplace. While the room didn't look newly renovated, it was very comfortable, modern and fits with the style of the whole complex. We had an excellent dinner at the restaurant, with the 2 course set menu also including complementary bread, a side and petit fours. We didn't need desert. The wine list was superb and open fire going in both the restaurant and tavern next door. Breakfast was included which we didn't realise when booking which included a barista coffee, cooked options, pastries, fruit and cereal. Overall an excellent experience.

Absolutely wonderful location! The rooms are rustic and cosy with fireplaces and lovely hot tub. Definitely recommend the spa. The convenience of the location to the national park is absolutely wonderful. I definitely recommend the highland restaurant. The Tavern had a great schnitzel.

The cabin is good, we asked for an upgrade and we got it. Be prepared for no TV or wifi in the room. You can get wifi in the main lodge so you are not totally without it. Rooms clean and made daily. The location is perfect and that’s what they rely on. Overall it’s quite expensive. It’s isolation make you eat there and the quality and cost is not the best. The place seems to be run by overseas travellers with no overall manager so, staff friendliness is hit and miss. Would I go there again? Don’t know, I would probably look for something cheaper.

We had a wonderful experience here, particular shout out to Georgia who looked after us so well, her customer service was A1. We were lucky enough to experience an upgrade when we stayed, our room was lovely, however the bed was a queen, and the room quite dark. Given the price of this accommodation I would expect the rooms to have king/super king beds. Aside from that, everything else was wonderful, delicious breakfast too! Loved all the walks connected to the grounds

We had stayed here before, but this time I brought my best friend to see some of the most amazing scenery on the planet. The lodge itself looks rustic but it is very modern with Wi-Fi and all amenities; however, there is no Wi-Fi at the cabins you stay in nor is there any TV. So if you need this type of technology, probably not the best bet for you. With bonuses such as hot chocolate kits with marshmallows and other wonderful things like a wood fireplace? This place is heaven. I will say it is the one place on the planet where you can sit on your deck and see pademelons, wombats, possums, and other wildlife walk right past your door. Rooms include a very lavish breakfast. The restaurant's okay at best. It's kind of mediocre but they try very hard and that makes a difference. You can do a variety of very lovely walks to waterfalls and other features without getting a pass into the national reserve. Or you can get a pass and go in and do other more extensive hikes.

The Lodge is a franchise of the Peppers group and seen better days. The facility is acceptable however the food and drink is below par and overpriced. The pub food was poor and only one pizza variety on the menu was available some wines on the menu were unavailable. Staff were working hard however they seemed constrained by what was available and management choices.

What a beautiful place! The rooms were gorgeous and the arrangement of space so relaxing. There was a gas fireplace in the room with a couple of comfortable chairs and a small table facing the warming flames. The view out of the large window provided a picture of a natural forest scene, lush and green. The room was modern, clean and quiet. It was cold up there on Cradle Mountain in the early spring and the snow and then freezing rains came sporadically, but they provided large umbrellas to help us keep dry. The lodge was built of wood and stone and provided all meals, again in a beautiful setting. The food was excellent with a variety of choices. There were also reading/gathering rooms within the lodge for quiet discussions or maybe to just curl up with a good book. There were some hiking trails right around the site itself and native animals showed up to graze. This is an out of the way place, and in fact, most of the staff lives there during their work weeks to avoid a long commute. This hotel was well worth the trip!

The photos online make the lodge look a lot more luxurious than it actually is. I still think it is a great lodge but it does not match up with how much it is per night. Be wary that there is no wifi or tvs in the cabins, only in the main lounge. You are paying for the location as it is walking distance from the entrance to the park. The service was very subpar. I had to pester the lady at reception to get a map back to the airport which was outrageous seeing as we were stuck in the middle of nowhere with no mobile phone reception. Nonetheless, it is still a great hotel but you've been warned that money will fall from your pockets without you even noticing. Cradle Mountain is a tourist trap but you just have to grin and bear it.
