Pros:

Good quiet location and friendly staff. They had kept the room warm and cozy by turning on the heater before checkin which was a good touch.

Cons:

The only thing that can probably be improved is communications regarding the room details. I'd to reach out to the property asking for which room I'd to check in. Having said that, they were prompt in responding with the details, and I'd no problem checking in.

Great stay near Cradle mountain
Pros:

Very clean and beautiful! Very comfortable and easy check-in/check out. Clear instructions in advance made everything easy!

Cons:

Had to clean our own dishes otherwise incur a fee. Honestly, paying to stay at a place shouldn’t involve you needing to clean dishes or clean stuff in general.

We enjoyed an exceptional stay here, with beautiful room and grounds
Pros:

I loved that when we arrived, and opened the door to our chalet, that the heater was crackling, and the birdsongs were playing. It was breathtaking! Then taking in the luxurious blankets and styling, just heaven! The hosts sprinkled lots of feed on our lawn so we could see the paddy melon, but even more impressive, when I was doing some puzzles outside on our amazing deck, she bought me some Bushman's Repellent, in case of midgies or mozzies. I thought this was so thoughtful! Oh and the shampoo, conditioner etc were top notch indulgent!

Cons:

Nothing - it was just beautiful! And not crowded!

Pros:

Location to Cradle Mountain

Cons:

Very tired. Bathroom dated and not that clean. Shower needs a good scrub. Shower taps needed tightening as they fell off in my husband’s hands. Coffee cups were put away dirty. And I mean not washed at all. Bed needs replacing as the mattress was well worn and not comfortable. Bedside lamp gave my husband a kick due to faulty wiring. It was however warm and cosy. Plenty of throws to keep you warm.

Pros:

We enjoyed our stay and couldn’t have been happier with the accommodation. It was exceptionally clean, comfortable and in a great location, making it easy to get around and enjoy our time in the area

Cons:

Liked everything. One small suggestion would be to have hooks in the bathroom for the bath towels.

Look no further, this is a great place to stay.
Pros:

The bed was comfortable, the shower was great and the heater warmed the room nicely as did the bathroom heater. It was spotlessly clean.

This property is located fairly close to the information Centre at cradle Mountain and is a short journey there to do the hikes. The hosts Anita and Dwayne were so helpful and friendly, and even allowed us to recharge our electric car using one of their indoor power points.

Anita also offers cooked meals that can be delivered to your room, as they run a cafe on the same property. They were able to cater for my gluten-free and vegan diet.

Cons:

Nothing really. There were a couple of issues with the TV, but that was due to the satellite and it was promptly fixed by Dwayne.
