The cabin was cosy and quiet. We enjoyed that it had a spa however the covers for some of the jets were missing and needed replacing. It was lovely to have wallabies visit while sitting on the balcony in the afternoon.

It was lovely to arrive and find the lamps and heating on. The bed was also very comfortable. Only a 20 min drive from Cradle Mountain made it an ideal location for our stay.

Very dissapointed in our stay & have waited to rate to give management time to reply but heard nothing back. We booked the cabin with the spa so we could relax after a big walking day , but the stench from the pipes in the bathroom was so vile we couldnt use it. Also they were suppose to deliver dinner but didnt . Lucky for us I had some food we could eat for dinner . Also never received check in details as stated in a previous message but thankfully the caretaker was on site . He was lovely .Otherwise cabin was lovely, clean & suited our needs.

Made Fawlty Towers look good.
No reception facilities, had to walk about in the rain to find someone, James who was very good, to tell me what to do.
Very isolated, as you would expect, but a below average meal supplied by the new owners, when they eventually turned up.
Room was fine but woulen't stay again.

Cradle Forest Inn was a great location for visiting and hiking the Cradle Mountain Park. IMPORTANT NOTE - You must bring your own drinking water - the water there is not potable & must be boiled to be consumed! We had brought 6 litres which we had bought. Without it we would have been hooped.

Fantastic accommodations, Jamie the care take was a so friendly and even did a sausage sizzle with bonfire to stay warm.
The only thing that could be added is a wifi signal booster. There was wifi in the shared bbq area but not in the rooms
