Peppers Cradle Mountain Lodge

Peppers Cradle Mountain was amazing! The setting was beautiful, the cabins so warm and cosy, the lodge reception area was really inviting, and the nature walks around the lodge were stunning. Highly recommend this place. We stayed for two perfect nights. The meals at the tavern are really great and well priced too.

The cabin was comfortable and clean. Food options were limited for a vegetarian (specially one who doesn’t want a minimum of two courses on the expensive restaurant ) and the Tavern which was noisy and just like a suburban pub) didn’t fit with the ethos of a beautiful natural environment. The staff were fantastic though and there are many gorgeous walks around the lodge.

Friendly staff and beautiful clean accommodation

Great position close to short walks.

Our attitude was influenced by the fact that the cabin was not available when we checked in. It was indicated that cleaning was in progress but it took one and a half hours before we had access. This in turn impacted on what we could have done during that time. Had we known the time we may have set our program a little differently. The place is different given its unique location and the cabin is nice, if a little tired. The roads to the cabins were in a poor state of repair. This is an expensive hotel so the expectation is high.

A wonderful room and close to some short walks. Would have liked more time there.

Although the lodge we stayed in had all the amenities, it was starting to look a little tired. The gas fire was a very welcome feature after a cold and wet hike on the mountain. The Tavern served lovely food, the breakfast choice was good, the staff were very friendly and the surrounding area was stunning. The walks around the hotel were beautiful. An added bonus for us was seeing the local wombats at dusk

Staff were excellent and helpful. Great location to explore cradle mountain. Not too many options other than whats at the hotel ie. Shops and restaurants but still a very enjoyable stay, surrounded by local wildlife.

Great location and the spa was very relaxing after a long day exploring

Room was spotless and brillant fire and bathroom. Bed was very comfortable..Staff very helpful in all areas of complex. About 5pm wombats and Wallabies roam the grounds.

1. Precheck in was technically flawed. On a phone it required an impossible signature and on a laptop the url didn't work. 2.There was a bat colony in our room and the staff were unable/unwilling to remove them. I removed 4 over 2 nights finally getting to bed at 11.30. 3. The tap was leaking. 4. Internet only at reception not in our room. Extraordinary meanness in a quality hotel. 5. This was the most expensive hotel in our trip to Tasmania and it was not value for money. Overall this was a poor experience and not to be recommended.

Very clean, very courteous. The food service staff were exceptional and deserve raises.

The room was disgusting, blow flies dead and alive, smelly with terrible rotten odour. No air conditioning, no tv, no wifi, no phone, no hair dryer, no fly screens. My wife in a wheelchair could not leave the room due to soft gravel and pot holes to access reception. Restaurant was closed (Sat night). We refused to stay and left after 30 minutes and drove to peppers silos in Launceston where we were greeted and treated with good typical Tasmanian hospitality. For a thousand dollars a night I feel we were totally ripped off. A total refund and apology is the least we can expect but would still not protect the unsuspecting guests that may stay there in the future.

A pleasant stay

My room was super clean and surrounded by wildlife. I also booked a treatment at the Waldheim spa as well as two times the private sanctuary (at it was just stunning). The crew over there was so so nice. Especially Senna who gave me lots of nice recommendations about the area and north east of tassie. A wonderful and absolutely unexpected breathtaking stay! I also loved that you can spot platypuses in the lake at the lodge.

The pictures are misleading - it is not 'lakeside', they have a small pond on site. Location is great, with many nice treks starting from the hotel and super great location for cradle mountain. Other than that, nothing to shout about. The cabins are very simple, definitely not a 4 star resort.

Great location next to the mountains with lots of potential activities available. Room was clean, staff were friendly although the service in the restaurant for dinner was quite slow.

Clean room, friendly staff and loved the room with balcony where we could view all the wildlife in evenings.

Highland restaurant good but pricey. Breakfast was good. Shout out to Bryan (front desk), Hannah and Mattias(?) on food service who all made it very pleasant. Laundry was available and used - great if you are touring. Room in a cabin away from the main building. Good size with free wine and crisps. Bathroom a bit dated. Hotel has an exceptional position and the “Enchanted walk” was great wombats, platypus and wallabies all in action around the hotel. Not 5 star but I would definitely go back if walking in the Cradle NP again.

the staff, the amenities and the wildlife!
