    It was all good. No complaints. I really appreciate the effort that the managers have put in. It is like they said well what would I need to have an enjoyable stay and then worked out how to make that happen.

    Stayed at woodsmoke cottage. Ideal for a couple. Not large but everything you needed. Fantastic place. Lovely well equipped cosy cabin. Very clean, well presented. Everything you needed. great location, only short walk to shuttle bus. Toiletries excellent, cooking equipment well thought out. No oven but an air fryer and hot plate. Great bed and variety of pillows. Very quiet and private. Cabins very well insulated. we had good weather but I am confident the cabin would be warm even if it was cold.

    This property was very well located and an easy walk to the Visitors Centre to get on the bus. It was very clean and the fireplace was set up ready to enjoy a nice warm fire (it was quite cold when we were there). The kitchen is basic but has everything that you need to make a simple meal. Everything was clean and in good working order. It was nice to get greeted by a person instead of self check in. There is also a communal laundry you can use. We didn't use this but it looked well set up and clean. It was very quiet at night so easy for sleeping.

    There were only 2 of us, and not 3 as originally planned ...because we booked on booking.com they charged us for 3

    Location was great . The cabin was lovely . I loved the little things they did to show care...the way the fireplace was prepared..there were LOTS of tea bags. There was glad wrap for the sandwiches . Charming and lovely

    The WiFi set up was complicated… and then didn’t work. No staff on site to ask , and only a Tech outfit number to call (within working hours !) Not good enough. Other than that it would be 10/10. When travelling you need WiFi to be looking for restaurants, next location distances, accommodation searches etc. Using 4/5G is not always possible or cost effective for foreign visitors. Other local establishments seem to offer straightforward access

    It was a well laid out little cabin with everything you needed provided …. except efficient WiFi

    Absolutely fabulous place, had everything we needed to stay with 3 small children. A fire place in the middle of cold and rainy Summer was just what made our stay memorable despite of the weather being not quite what we were hoping for. Would go back and stay again.

    Cosy cottage with kitchen and everything you need. Lots of wildlife to.see right at your front door. Only 5 minutes walk to the visitor center where you can catch the shuttle bus to all the great hikes/climbs/walks. Will definitely stay here again when returning to Cradle Mountain.

    Cosy bush cabin

    It's cosy for three and the top bunk gets hot as hot air rises so it can be a little tricky to get the heating right. The paths to our cabin and our neighbour was a little confusing as straight from our park goes to their cabin. One additional sign would help despite the large name signs on the top of the cabins when exhausted coming back from a hike. A phone charging outlet close to the beds or couch would be great.

    The location is great directly across the visitor centre, the setting is beautiful and secluded in the bush with good distance between cabins, the staff was friendly, there was good communication and check in and check out were easy. The cabin has everything you need. The gas heater works great. You might also be lucky enough to see the resident wombat and her baby.

    Impersonal. Arrived at 6pm but reception closed. No one to welcome us or suggest what options were available. Keys on front door. Communication purely electronic. Feel sorry for future generations. No breakfast - booking.com said there was one.

    Excellent location. Excellent cabin. Plenty of very hot water.
