Why it's worth checking out
Discovery Resorts - Cradle Mountain sits on Cradle Mountain Road, right at the gateway to one of Tasmania's most spectacular wilderness areas. A wilderness resort offering a range of accommodation, it's an ideal base for exploring Cradle Mountain–Lake St Clair National Park, with the famous peaks, Dove Lake and walking tracks all within easy reach.
The appeal is that combination of comfortable accommodation in a stunning natural setting and a prime location at the doorstep of the park, with dining, facilities and the convenience of being right where the adventure begins. For anyone wanting to make the most of an early start on the trails — or simply soak up the alpine wilderness — staying this close is a genuine advantage.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 800 reviews, it's clearly delivering for its guests. Accommodation types, rates, dining, facilities and availability vary with the season, and Cradle Mountain is a popular, sometimes booked-out destination, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly well ahead — particularly in peak periods, and dressing for the changeable alpine weather whatever the season.
