4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 May 2013 NEW

We stayed for 2 nights and we were not disappointed. We loved the wooden interior and the furniture, it felt very authentic, like a real 'bushmans hut'. The hut wasn't huge, but there was enough room for 2 people to move around. There was a double bed and a single bed (bunk) over it, a small sofa, table and a... More

We have been here several times. staying in different cabins, and can only say I would rate them 100per cent every time. Everything is perfect, and the small little touches are what makes it 'right'. Good ambience, spotlessly clean, well maintained with friendly staff, we found the prices pretty much as expected, have stayed at other hotels/cabins in this area,... More

Beautiful cabins perfectly set up for a cosy alpine getaway. With the fire roaring and self catering there's a danger that you won't come out your whole trip. But when you do there's tons of wildlife around and just a short walk to the bus that takes you into Cradle Mountain's beautiful national park. The staff are so helpful and... More

We (two couples) stayed in one of the cabins for three nights starting on 28th February. We were really very disappointed. There was one bedroom with a double bed upstairs without doors and a tiny adjacent bedroom with bunk beds. We had to pass through the open bedroom to go downstairs to the bathroom. The cabin was not clean, trash... More

We are sorry this guest was disappointed with her stay and we must apologise for the inaccurate description of this cabin on the website of Booking.com. This cabin (Pandani) is certainly not the best choice for two couples. We have detailed descriptions of our different cabins on our own website so that guests can book a cabin appropriate to their...

We highly recommend this place even though at A$170 a night it is on the high side. The small "Woodsmoke" cabin is actually quite roomy, romantic, modern and clean and after a tough days hiking we couldn't wait to get the fireplace going. Too bad we didn't have the cabin with the jacuzzi. Some local wildlife came up to the... More

Cradle Mountain was our 1st stop after disembarking Spirit of Tasmania. What greeted us when we opened the door of our cottage "Pademelon" was a sight for sore (and tired) eyes! Comfy, new queen size bed, fully equipped kitchen and best of all a log fire to keep us toasty at night; with mornings bringing a friendly greeting from 1... More

This was our third visit to Cradle Mountain but our first to Highlanders. It was much more relaxing and informal than our previous visits. The cabin "Tallow-wood" was spacious and comfortable with everything we needed supplied, making self-catering easy. The spa was much appreciated for aching muscles after long walks. The slow combustion fire heated the cabin effectively and the... More

We stayed at the Highlanders on our honeymoon. Cute cottage in the wildnerness which had everything you need. The cottage was clean however the curtains were very dusty and the pillows were too flat. We had a car space but walking back to the cottage at night was a little hard as there were no lights up the path. Location... More

Our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our 6 nights at the "Currawong" cottage at Highlanders Cottages. The cottages are just off the road to Dove Lake, close to the Visitor Centre... yet each is secluded enough to feel completely private (unlike the Lodge cottages nearby, where many were sited on a thoroughfare for walkers). Ours was a 2 bedroom, combined... More

A great cosy log cabin, close too walks and wildlife, we arrived late pm but the log fire was already a blaze, what a welcome sight. Hosts were helpful and friendly, cabins were rustic, but needed a spring clean, it was well equipped and had most comforts including elec blankets. Within an hour of arriving at "wombat cottage " we... More
