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.

Pros:

This stay was absolutely everything and more than we could have expected. We came in early June and we felt incredibly welcomed after a cold afternoon outside, coming into the warm chalet, the bed, the warm food from the café. What a dream!!! The staff were super helpful and had everything ready for us. They went above and beyond by giving us recommendations and helping us with our questions.

The bed was probably one of the best I've ever slept in!!! The blanket was so soft and everything was so comfortable, we were actually sad that we had to leave. We will visit again!

Cons:

Everything was absolutely perfect! Thank you.

Pros:

Beautifully cozy and immaculately clean cabins in the perfect location (keep an eye out for the resident wallabies). Anita is a wonderful host who was kind enough to let me use her cafe for a meeting even though they don’t open on a Monday. Really fabulous value and owners who care about the local community. Don’t miss their hot chocolate!☕️
