I would not stay there again. Was over priced for what you got could have done with a coffee pod machine and a decent lounge chairs very uncomfortable 2 nights was to long
there is no shops around except the Cafe but you could order a meal with them and they put in your room
We had a great stay here! The caretaker of the property was really nice, and it was well located to visit the cradle mountain area.

Room was excellent. The only issue was that we didn’t receive a message with our lockbox combination to get in the room. We went to the cafe down the road and they were able to get it for us. So no harm done, but if the cafe was closed we might have been in trouble.
I’m sure this is a one of though, so please don’t let it deter you from a fantastic stay!
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.
Was a very nice place to stay if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle....

The room was a little dated, but clean and comfortably. Because there were very few options to by food or places to eat, or a stove top in the cabin, it would have been good to have a webber bbq outside the cabin to cook on.
The communal BBQ the only option for cooking, and the cooking implements were dirty and needed to be cleaned.

Beautiful rooms but absolutely stop in Sheffield or Devonport for groceries. There is NOTHING else around and don't bother going to Wilmot
Jamie the caretaker is very friendly, ask him about his music
