Be prepared to self cater breakfast as no onsite restaurant for this. DON’T get the continental breakfast! $35 for four, thin bits of white bread with no butter or spreads, “fruits” is two small, floury apples, two weetbix, tiny bit of Nutri Grain or Muesli. We didn’t bother and for just $15 more, had the full, scrumptious, buffet breakfast at Cradle Mountain Lodge both days. Helleyers Restaurant is quite expensive. Stayed in a Spa Cottage. Lovely and quiet, warm, about the right price for this accommodation in this location.

Comfortable villa. As it often raining, maybe some gravel in the drive ways, large puddles outside villa 22, was impossible not to track inside. Beautiful and warm from the start. May be a few more hooks to hang gear after a long day in the rain
