Liked having the local wildlife on our step. A wombat tried to join us inside. We saw a pademelon and currawong. So curious.
Dined up the road at the Tavern. We went early and avoided the rush.
Was nice to have a log fire as the temperature went right down.
What a fabulous location. Friendly reception, absolutely lovely cabin with fully appointed kitchen, gas-fireplace, close to several wonderful activities (Cradle Mountain and Tasmanian Devil reserve), beautiful view from all of our windows. COMFORTABLE beds and great shower.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
The Bushmans Hut was perfect for our stay in Cradle Mountain. The cabin is compact, cosy and the pot belly stove kept the place nice and warm. It’s great for 2 people and has everything you need to cook your own food.
Wildlife visited us right on our doorstep.
The property is located just across from the visitor center where you can catch the shuttle bus to the National Park.
Would stay there again.
Stayed in the telopea spa. Fantastic bathroom view to the surrounding bush and pandamelons. Kitchen very well equipped with even foil and food wrap for hiking. Communications from the accommodation was very good, especially as we were staying just after a major storm event
A very pleasant stay for our family. The team of staff here is a group of wonderful people.
And we had the great experience of coming so close with Charli, the “resident wombat” here & also a few pademelons right infront of our cottage.
This will be our accomodation again should we be travelling back here to the Cradle Mountains in future.
Everything we needed. Great to arrive to the fire going for us. Beds comfortable, very clean cabin and great communication before arriving. 2 night stay was good for us. Right across the road was the shuttle bus to Dove lake. We enjoyed a pizza at Peppers for lunch and then we went to Cradle Mt Hotel for dinner. Great food.
Cradle Highlander cabins are truly breathtaking!! As soon as you drive into the driveway, it feels like a magical place. The staff were super lovely and very helpful, the cabin we stayed in was just gorgeous and I was genuinely sad to leave. The fire was lit, heaters in the bedrooms were on on our arrival and the setting was cosy and warm. I cannot recommend staying here any more highly and I look forward to coming back another time for a longer stay!
Nice cabin wood heating close to cradle mountain visitor center

A perfect stay in paradise!
Highlanders (Woodsmoke cabin) was perfect!
It is a credit to the cleaners how spotlessly clean the cabins are always presented.
The pot belly fire was wonderful and the cabin was cosy, warm and comfortable.
The Cradle Mountain National Park is amazing and using the bus shuttle into the National Park was easy. $15 pp for 3 days and it’s a 5 - 8 min walk from Highlanders.
We did so many beautiful walks.
It doesn’t matter if is sunny, raining, or snowing this is a very special part of the world and we never get tired of visiting paradise!
Thank you Rachael and team for making our stay so perfect in every way.
We were lucky enough again to have native visitors to our cabin porch.
Many birds - yellow parrot, black currawongs, a wallaby and a pademelon.
Cheers
Suzanne and George
Within walking distance of the Cradle Mountain Visitor Information Centre the Highlander is ideally situated to explore Cradle Mountain. We did not need to use our car for the three days we were on the mountain. The timber cabin is cosy with great wood heater, comfortable bed, efficient kitchen and bench space. Surrounded by beautiful wilderness the cabin is a private and safe hideaway.
Gorgeous property just accross the road to the shuttle bus services to get you to cradle mounatin. Cottage had everything we needed ( cooking, heating, comfy bed, views of the outdoors) easy parking , loved the whole experience here !!
This place was amazing. Best cabin we have stayed in. The cabin was clean and had all we needed to make a great stay. It is walking distance to the visitors centre, from there you can catch shuttle bus to all the sites in the park. Just need to bring your own food for your stay, all the kitchen utensils are provided. 10/10 from us.
Fantastic stay in a character filled warm cabin. Thoughtfully fitted out with everything needed. Great location just opposite the NP info Centre and bus terminal and yet so quiet. Friendly and kind staff.
Unique little place away from the fast pace life
that we live in, interaction with nature and surrounds was beautiful
The chalet was set amongst a beautiful habitat and was very spacious and cosy
Just loved our few days here
Really enjoyed our 3 night stay in the Buttongrass Cabin. The location of Highlanders was great. Super close to the park visitor centre and also the shuttle bus plus was very close to Devils at Cradle which I think is a must to visit when visiting Cradle Mountain . Our cabin was lovely, very clean, quiet, comfortable and had everything we needed. It was chilly when we visited so the fire was a lovely addition and the full kitchen allowed us to prepare all our meals. Highlanders was an oasis, very quiet and we were lucky to see a wombat and a few wallabies near our cabin. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend.
