Pros:

The cabin appeared quite new. We weren't too far from cradle mountain which was great. It had a lock that you access the key from, so it is pretty much a no contact check in/out.
It was a quiet location even though it seemed like you were on a main road. It wasn't busy or loud. The electric blanket helped keep you cosy when getting into bed.
The room has everything you need for a brief stay.

Cons:

Occasionally you could hear the fan in the bathroom go off randomly, which we are wondering if it was from the main house that we were attached to. Sometimes you could hear them too but I don't think that would be much different to being in a hotel room or another cabin.
With the tiny sink in the bathroom with a shelf above it, it was quite tricky trying to clean your teeth or wash your face.

Pros:

A very cosy, homely and welcoming place to stay. We very much appreciated the option to have dinner in our fridge when we got there after a hard day walking at Cradle Mountain.

性价比很高。
Pros:

这间酒店位于山区中部，通往景区的路口。设施齐全，房间很新很干净整洁。外面很冷又下雨，房间里非常暖和。酒店有自己的咖啡厅吃饭很方便，晚上非常安静，空气也很好，客服经理Atina非常热心，给了我很多的帮助。我在这个酒店睡了两晚，感觉很好。

Pros:

So so comfortable! The heating was on when we arrived, the room was super toasty while the outside temperature dropped to zero.
The surrounding is magical, the room was spacious and clean, very reasonably priced.

Cold cabin with private bathroom close to Cradle Mountain
Pros:

- Location: 20-minute drive to Cradle Mountain National Park's Visitor Center
- Private bathroom
- Gas grill available for guest use
- Clear check-in/lockbox instructions sent in advance
- Opportunity to pre-order food from nearby cafe - though the menu was not shared in advance
- Strong Wi-Fi connection

Cons:

- Very poor heat insulation: the room was extremely cold despite the heater being on
- Heater lit up the entire room at night when in use - hard to fall asleep
- No stove to prepare food - a real issue since the only cafe/restaurant nearby closes at 3pm
