Top marks to the caretaker! I rocked up for a late check-in and he helped me get to my accommodation safely and swiftly. Would recommend. Don't want to name names, but I remember you and thanks.

Had a great night stay here while visiting cradle mountain. The cabin exceeded expectations. It was simple but very clean and had privacy with nice views of the woods. The bed was comfortable with heated blankets and the cabin heat worked great as well. Had a little issue checking in when I was not provided the cabin number and door code (sounds like this is an Expedia issue, not the fault of the property). The onsite caretaker was very nice and got me squared away. Just reach out to them ahead if arriving if you don’t receive a check in code as cell service is very limited in the area. It’s a quick 20 minute drive to the park visitor center from here and there is a small cafe across the street for coffee and food. Would return!

Very dissapointed in our stay & have waited to rate to give management time to reply but heard nothing back. We booked the cabin with the spa so we could relax after a big walking day , but the stench from the pipes in the bathroom was so vile we couldnt use it. Also they were suppose to deliver dinner but didnt . Lucky for us I had some food we could eat for dinner . Also never received check in details as stated in a previous message but thankfully the caretaker was on site . He was lovely .Otherwise cabin was lovely, clean & suited our needs.

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.

It‘s a very nicely fournished, special Atmosphäre Cottage in a Natural Environment. We couldn‘t enjoy it so much because of the temperature inside. It was really cold. The Heather doesn‘t get the room warm.

Made Fawlty Towers look good. No reception facilities, had to walk about in the rain to find someone, James who was very good, to tell me what to do. Very isolated, as you would expect, but a below average meal supplied by the new owners, when they eventually turned up. Room was fine but woulen't stay again.

Very clean and nice area. We were informed by Wotif that we should receive check in information prior arrival. We did not and had to call the property. There is no reception at the property. If we would not have been informed we would have ended up there with low reception and no access, not even knowing what room. Thanks to Wotif it did not happen. Amenities were great, clean and as advertised. The only thing not declared sufficiently was a sign at the taps advising not to drink the water unboiled. We found the note in the book provided after we had a cup of tea. Too late if we would have had a glass of water. If advertised that the property is on bore water only you could bring your own.

Cradle Forest Inn was a great location for visiting and hiking the Cradle Mountain Park. IMPORTANT NOTE - You must bring your own drinking water - the water there is not potable & must be boiled to be consumed! We had brought 6 litres which we had bought. Without it we would have been hooped.

Unfriendly warnings, insisting on guests washing their dishes, othetwise a surcharge. No tea towels were made available I like ordimary black tea. Only one tea bag made available.
