Had a great time in this cosy little getaway. Close to Cradle Mountain with great views from both the balcony and the living space. The kitchen had everything I needed for a comfortable stay, and the smart TV was great for a night in. Definitely recommend at least 2 nights so you get to fully enjoy what the accommodation has to offer.
Not negatives but just some things to consider:
- I recommend checking in before dark as it might be difficult to navigate the first time.
- Unsealed gravel road to property but handled fine in my 2wd SUV.
- Steep steps up to loft bed with low ceiling.
Overall an amazing stay, and I would definitely return!
Set in Moina, 33 km from Dove Lake, Cradle forest inn offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a terrace. Guests can enjoy garden views.

It's a very cute and nice cottage, close to the visitor centre. The lady at receptionist is very friendly and helpful. Room is super clean and complete amenities and very nice and warm. With electric blanket on the bed. Highly recommend!

The location, serenity and extras provided by host.
One of the most scenic places we have ever seen. We went back into the park late at night to stargaze. We had never seen the Milky Way look like that. Utterly beguiling, a true “must do”. Dove Lake is just a perfect place to visit. We will definitely be returning.

An absolutely stunning national park, with lakes and mountains and lots of fresh air!
There is only one road into the park, and once you have passed the visitor centre and various accommodation options, CM can only be accessed via the Park Service's shuttle buses. This has stopped the nightmare of people driving on roads they are not capable of handling, and makes your trip up to Dove Lake far more pleasant,
Check the park service's website for ticket options and prices, and also for the range of marked walking trails to suit all capabilities.
Check out the photos, and make sure you visit at least once!

If you love walking, hiking or mountains in general Cradle Mountain is a blessing. Walks and circuits for every person, from the easy to the challenging one, from 20 minutes to 10 hours depending on your readiness, fitness, and training. Clean and well-maintained with spectacular views from the top, weather permitting :-). Keep in mind that you are in a mountain environment and the weather can change quickly and completely in a very short time. Good phone coverage on quite the whole area, and if you are into astrophotography its a Bortle 1 sky, cannot get better then that.

We loved our visit to Cradle Mountain.
We loved our visit to Cradle Mountain. Our first stop was the Devils @ Cradle sanctuary where we had an excellent tour guide who was very knowledgeable about the Tasmanian Devil and the Quolls at the sanctuary. We were able to see 5 Devils being fed. Though they looked cute, they had very sharp teeth and managed to tear through the meat and bones quickly. We then went on a bus trip to Dove Lake and were able to take some great photos. Would love to visit here again.

A wonderful place!
A wonderful place! Well worth visiting for its natural beauty, walks and wildlife. Also very well organised with shuttle around the park and to major walking tracks. Definitely worth visiting ng Waldheim for the history of the place

Love the walks at Cradle Mountain.
Love the walks at Cradle Mountain. We went to devils@cradel which was so interesting. Really recommend it but keep your hands out of the devil enclosures! Bring warm clothes - lots of layers is best. We were there end of Feb and it was cold at night and early morning. We had a wild wombat just amble by, eating as it went.

This is the place to stay when visiting Cradle Mountain National Park. Our room was of good size and the shared kitchen and bathroom s were reached by walking under a covered walkway. The kitchen was very large with plenty of equipment to prepare your own food. Two refrigerators were available for food storage. The gas heater in the kitchen was awesome on cold nights and mornings. The visitor center and shuttle bus to hiking trails was a 6 minute walk from the camp office.
Our own little cabin in the woods! Cosy, warm, comfortable! Woodsmoke Cabin- loved the warm fire and hot bath after exploring Cradle Mountain!
A small but very well equipped kitchen. We came with groceries and plug in hot plates and microwave ( saucepans, frypan, crockery, cutlery, toaster , kettle , small fridge and even wine glasses! There was also an air fryer- though we didn’t use it)
A quick walk to Visitor centre and shuttle bus!
The location was excellent, very close to the visitors centre and bus to the park.
The happy hour bought everyone to the well appointed lounge area with picture perfect views of Cradle Mountain.
Although our cabin was close to the both the next door cabins our back verandah had uninterrupted views of the bushland.
The cabin was well appointed, easy to heat and comfortable.
Perfect location for exploring Cradle Mountain. Abundant wildlife just outside the door and beautiful walking paths on the property. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Dining room had great food for dinner and an excellent buffet for breakfast. Saw Wallabys, Paddymelons, Wombats all over the grounds. Overall, an amazing stay.
We loved our stay at Cradle Mountain Hotel. All of the staff were so friendly and attentive. The buffet breakfast was delicious. Our room was exceptionally clean and cozy, and we also throughly enjoyed sitting by the wood fire in the library/common area near our room. We would definitely stay again.
The staff and location are excellent, set in bushland, it gets a wide range of wombats and pademelons during dawn and dusk. The whole place with its fireplaces and guest lounges is very welcoming at the end of the day hiking around Cradle Mountain. The food was generally good along with the bar.
We had an upgrade into the two bedroom deluxe cabins which are new. The underfloor heating was a lovely addition on the cold mornings. The cabin is fantastic and had all we needed, very comfortable. Easy to walk to the bus for Cradle Mountain and staff were super friendly and helpful.
Location was great for hiking cradle mt and numerous bush walks nearby. Restaurant was very good,staff were excellent and the cabin was clean and comfortable, I just felt for a Peppers hotel it was starting to show it's age,I would still recommend this hotel.
We were in one of the new cabins and it was great. Had everything we needed, bed was comfy and it even has a fireplace in the living room. Would definitely come back to stay here again if we ever head up to Cradle Mountain again.
Cradle Mountain Wilderness Village was conveniently located to the visitors centre, and transport in and around Cradle Mountain. Staff were professional and and friendly in all our interactions. We loved our time here.
Spa bath at the end of walking; peacefullness of the cabins; very close to Cradle Mountain and right on top of some of the shorter walks. The Highland Terrace restaurant is excellent.
Highlanders was perfect - the cabins were well organised the staff wonderful and the location is perfect . Walking distance to the visitor centre to catch the bus to cradle mountain
The location was central to Cradle Mountain walks and hikes. The room was very comfortable with a cozy gas heater - which was even necessary in December, much to our surprise.
Beautiful spacious cabins with private bushland outlook. Great kitchen and gas heating. Best location for Cradle Mountain. Five minute walk to Information centre.
There are limited accommodation choices in Cradle mountain. This is one of the few which is good value for money with shared bathroom and shared kitchen.
