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.

We stayed during winter. Although the wood fire heater was out of order, there was central heating, and another warm heater, and electric blankets. The beds and couch were comfortable. The kitchenette was very handy and equipped with most things like dishwashing liquid. Nice warm bathroom and shower equipped with basic toiletries. It's not a fancy looking place but thought has been put into what guests might need and find useful and those things are provided well. The staff were very accommodating. If you forget or don't want to bring supplies, the kiosk is well stocked. The area where cabins are located was quiet and peaceful. It's located just a few minutes walk to the visitor centre where the shuttle buses take you to the various hiking trails. For people who are travelling without a car, you can get McDermott's coach from Launceston to the Discovery park, walk to the visitor centre and get shuttle buses to trails. There's also a small luggage room if needed before and after checkout times. Just a lovely, cosy place to return to after a long day of hiking.

Excellent accommodation (2br cabin sleeping 4). Very well equipped. Heating was excellent (particularly liked the under floor heating in the bathroom and the electric blankets). Very close to the Tasmanian Tiger Wild Life Centre and the Cradle Mountain Visitors Centre. The bush comes up to the cabins. Excellent wifi and satellite television options. Also TV reception via Google TV - but you will need your own account was excellent. The galley kitchen worked very well with refrigerator/freezer, oven, gas four burner cooktop and microwave. The lounger/dining room was spacious and had excellent heating.

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.
