Discovery Parks - Cradle Mountain

This cabin was well set up to meet our needs. the bathroom was of a decent size and functional. The beds were very comfortable and the cabin was equipped with an air conditioner as well as a heater for the really cold weather. You felt like you were the only one there with all the trees and bushes around each cabin. I was hoping to see some wildlife wondering through, but I didn't while I was there. The kitchen was ample for us.

Staff were great and approachable. Larger bathroom area was very comfortable and exceeded my expectations with those overhead heaters! Easy to navigate around with the street signs inside the park/camp grounds. Parking spots handy right outside the backpackers cabins. I didn't expect to receive the shampoo/soap/etc. on my bed upon arrival which was nice too.

- close to Cradle Mountain Visitor Centre and Devils at Cradle - very modern cabin, comfortable and warm - kitchen in the cabin was excellent - bathroom was really nice - small outside balcony was great- not as much wildlife as I had hoped but saw 4 pademelons outside the cabin on both nights of my stay - the shop where you check in was well stocked We booked two cabins (2 and 9). The outlook on cabin #2 was far nicer than cabin #9. Cabin #2 overlooked trees, bushes etc and had more privacy but cabin #9 overlooked more of the other cabins and wasn’t as private. I think it will improve over time as more of the trees etc grow back in.

Everything about our accommodation at Cradle Mountain was fabulous. We were delightfully greeted on arrival by a wallaby. The park was well laid out providing safety for pedestrians and vehicles. The short walk to the neighbouring Peppers Restaurant which served delicious food was very handy. Due to limited fitness levels, we needed to drive to the shuttle bus however you could easily walk. Loved the peaceful bushland setting achieving total privacy for each cabin. Everything you needed for a short stay was at your fingertips, although if you did find yourself short of anything, it could be purchased from the onsite shop. Would definitely recommend.

We had a fantastic stay! We booked a cabin and the only one left was a family sized one - which was just as well so we had plenty of room to spread out gear out inside the cabin! Location: just outside the Cradle Mountain NP visitor centre (so you can leave your car outside your cabin then walk to the visitor centre to get the shuttle inside the park - less than 10 minute walk away). Reception: very friendly, we arrived a few hours early and our room was ready so we were thankful we had somewhere to change into our hiking gear! There is a fantastic grocery store at reception - we had already purchased perishable items from Devonport before driving in, but if you wanted last minute items or hadn't thought about meals, this was great! Frozen meals, meats, bread, small amount of fresh produce, tinned and boxed products for cooking, ice-creams, ice, souvenirs etc! Cabin: we had a family cabin that had a double bed and 2 lots of bunk beds - everything we wanted was inside the cabin! Fly screen door to the porch so you can leave smelly or wet/muddy items outside to dry without bringing inside the cabin. Heating and A/C, even electric blankets for the beds! The kitchenette had a microwave and cooktop with plenty of cooking utensils, tableware, huge fridge for storing items, kettle and large toaster. We cooked our own meals in the cabin. Sofa bed and dining table in the main area. Storage cupboard in the main room and small cabinet above the bathroom vanity. Shower had great hot water and water stream. No wifi in the cabin (but available at reception) but good 4G. All in all, a wonderful stay and we loved our little cabin. Can't beat the location and facilities.
