Cosy and comfortable
Gorgeous log cabin. Each cabin had its own specifically Australian name - ours was Wombat. The bed was a little hard for me but my husband loved it so just personal preference. Great kitchen set up and would have màde more use of it if we'd stayed longer. Very close to cradle mountain visitor centre and other places of interest in the area. Set up with everything you need to be comfortable for a longer stay. Lovely host on reception friendly and helpul information. Would definitely stay again if ever back this way.

Cosy mountain cabins in fabulous location
Wonderful location, comfortable cabin and great staff. Ideally placed for the visitor centre and Devils@Cradle. Enjoyed meeting the resident wombat, and birdwatching around the grounds.

Lovely log cabin vibe! The accommodation was clean and the facilities were great - right down to the log fire ready to go after we came back from dinner. Quiet and peaceful after an awesome day hiking.

The welcome and helpfulness from the reception member of staff was excellent. Although we arrived well ahead of check-in as we did not realise it was across the road from the shuttle bus to take us to walk the Dove Lake circuit, she kindly stored some grocery items in their fridge before transferring them to our cabin once the room was available. We loved the peace and quiet and on such a beautiful evening enjoyed a BBQ (gas fired). The cabin not surprising was designed/kitted out for the cold rather than the heat. This was easily the most expensive property we booked in a 4 week tour of South Western Australia and Tasmania, though cabin fixtures/fittings were a bit dated, lacked “personal touches” of many of the other properties. The Internet was terrible which cannot all be put down to the location especially when they advertised you could use up to 5 devices and we could barely get connection with one phone at a time and even if we could use more devices you were restricted to 2gb. All this possibly reflects a lack of competition and stronger demand than other areas but overall we still very much enjoyed our visit to the Cradle Mountains.

This was by far our favourite stay whilst we were in Tasmania, we were welcomed by a lovely fireplace already setup for us which kept the room nice and cosy the entire time we were there. The cabins are so close to everything at Cradle Mountain. The cabin was so cosy with a lovely four poster bed, spa bath and full kitchen with basics. Will be recommending this place to everyone in the future

This was a cute cabin in the woods right next to the entrance for Cradle Mountain. There is few dining options around which they inform you of beforehand but the staff are incredibly helpful; even lighting our fire for us. Great experience

We loved our little "Wombat" cabin. So cozy with the wood burning fire. Have to keep this full as the nights do get cold. We had plenty of wood filled up right outside our cabin. Loved the layout with a queen bed and bunk beds if there are others in your party. The kitchen has all the conveniences for cooking. We just had some trouble using the oven as it was a gas oven but the stove worked fine. Bathroom and shower was very comfortable. Just a short walk to the cradle mountain visiting centre. Staff at Cradle HIghlander are very communicative and responsive. We loved our stay here and would love to come back.

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.

A good place for animal lovers
Excellent communication with the cottage staff. We got to check in a bit earlier. Very friendly staff and cozy cottage. It has everything we need for a two night stay. Just step away from the visitor center, yet we were like in the wildness with wombat and wallaby and birds visiting. Excellent value for the price.
