Cradle Highlander

Your idylic accommodation to experience Cradle Mountain

Cradle Highlander is a family owned hotel offering secluded, self-contained cabin accommodation at Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park. The cabins are conveniently located just a 5 minute walk from the Cradle Mountain Visitor Centre, and a 5 minute drive from the national park entrance.

Each of the 16 cabins at Cradle Highlander is individually designed and hand-built from Tasmanian timber in a rustic style to complement the natural bushland setting. Some are built just for two, and others can accommodate a family or small group.
