Overview

At Cradle Mountain Lodge guests see the face of creation all year round in the mirror of lakes and rugged mountain peaks. And you don't need to be an environmentalist to feel humble in the towering presence of a King Billy Pine - over 1,000 years old yet still a relative newcomer to these ancient forests. This is a superb escape with breathtaking scenery, cosy cabins, magnificent meals and days filled with simple pleasures.

Location

Cradle Mountain Lodge is a unique wilderness retreat on the edge of the World Heritage Listed Cradle Mountain/Lake St. Clair National Park.

Accommodation

Inside each cabin the layout is generous, comfortable and more than a touch romantic. And when the snow falls, as it can even in the summer months at Cradle, there's nothing cosier than being indoors. Ignore the electric heaters stoke the fire instead. After dinner in the Lodge retreat to the cabin and share a glass of red wine in front of a roaring fire. One thing is certain, summer or winter, the beauty of Cradle Mountain is an inspiration.

Ambience

The Lodge itself has an ambience of warmth and security that welcomes everyone who enters. Perhaps it's the glow of the open fires that keeps drawing people back or those quiet moments in the Guest's Lounge, catching up on local lore and history. Then of course there's the temptation of the Highland Restaurant and its walk-in Wine Cellar. Or perhaps the mood calls for a less formal meal in the Tavern Bar, a great place to share adventures with new friends.
