Hotels near Dove Lake in Cradle Mountain

The room was pleasant & clean, the heater worked ok, & the bed was very comfortable. One drawback is that the door to the room was a lightweight door so anyone talking in the passage was loud enough to sound as if they were in the room. The view from the room was relaxing, but alas I didn't see any wildlife, that's nature for you. Unfortunately half the rooms were without hot water on the first morning, so it was a cold shower. The evening meal was ok, but not the greatest. Being on a tour we were lucky enough to have a cheese & wine tasting afternoon, which was fun. There are some paths through the grounds at the back. It was pleasant walk, where I did actually see some wildlife, lots of skinks. They run off pretty quickly.

Very simple cabins with older furnishings. You will find everything you need to take care of yourself and the complex is beautifully located in the middle of nature. You're right next to the parking lot for Cradle Mountain, making it the perfect starting point for excursions/hikes. But for us the price-performance ratio wasn't there.

We planned to stay at this hotel 3 years ago and our plan just resumed after Covid situation is not a key concern anymore. At first, we were quite worried about what we would get from the hotel after kept reading many negative reviews; however, we made a final decision to stick to our plan and it is the right decision! Everything was just perfect for us, especially its location. - Our room is clean and cozy. It has everything we need and a log fire to make us warm after hiking the whole day under the rain and a strong wind. No tv and wifi in the room but it is not our problem. We spent our 2 nights to enjoy the nature surrounding our room and Cradle Mt National Park. A telephone signal was quite strong, so we did not need free wifi at all. - All staffs were friendly and helpful. We sent many emails to confirm our booking, ask about hotel information, and make a reservation for our breakfast/dinner. They reply us promptly and provided all information we needed. Check-in and check-out process is really quick and staffs at the reception gave us a map and suggested us the track to walk around the hotel. - Foods are not bad as we expected as many reviews mentioned. Breakfast at Highland is on average and the choice of foods is not variety which is normal for the remote accommodation. If you would like to get the best slot for your breakfast, better book a table in advance. We also tried to have both lunch and dinner at Tavern Bar on the first day and we decided to spend for our dinner at Highland Restaurant on the second day. At dinner time, it is quite packed at Tavern Bar and it took more time to wait for a food which is understandable and please be patient. Booking at Highland is required and they have only set menu which is worth to try. - Only one thing is the room rate is a little bit pricey but it is understandable. It is only the hotel located in Cradle Mt. National Park, the remote accommodation that provide the best spot to access all hiking tracks in this park. If you would like to get some short rest after long hour hiking and the most convenient stay before and after hiking in Cradle Mt, this place is the most perfect and has everything you need!

We stayed one night in a wilderness studio. The studio was clean, spacious, had a small bar fridge, tea and coffee making facilities, spacious, and the bed was very comfortable. Good east access shower and nice towels. Breakfast was included and given where the lodge is it was fine, there was a choice of a couple of cereals, toast, scrambled eggs, baked beans, sausages and bacon. We had pizza and beer at the cafe for dinner; all perfectly tasty. The staff were pleasant. Various walks could be accessed from the cabin area or the lodge. A short but pleasant stay.

The favorite experience of the entire trip to Australia! First, diagonally opposite the visitor center, you can walk to the park by foot. Each building is an independent cabin, very clean and tidy, with solid wood furniture and flooring, and modern kitchen TV DVDs. You can experience your own fire and warmth, and there is an electric heater in the room. The best thing is that there are small kangaroos that don't promote feeding, but they can be observed at close range and close to nature. It is recommended to eat more with wine and stay in the hut for a few more days. I regret not taking some potatoes and sweet potatoes. I can throw them directly in the stove. Will go again!

Beautifully appointed room with spa bath. Bed was comfortable and there was plenty of hot water. We had the Commercial room on the ground floor near to the entrance to the hotel so I was expecting some noise from hotel patrons in the evening but we didn’t hear a thing. The hotel serves coffee as well as normal alcoholic beverages and the dining menu is basic good hotel/pub food. Continental breakfast was included and was adequate. There were options for cooked breakfasts and lunch hampers to be ordered the night before if you wanted.

The hotel is quiet and comfortable in the westernmost part of the town. Surrounded by vast hilly grasslands, the scenery is pleasant. You can also see the alpacas (grass horses) raised by the locals. The room is clean, the facilities are more general, the old hotel, I feel a bit of the 90s feeling, but I like this style, this is the feeling of my heart town. The proprietress is a lovely fat aunt, warm and friendly. The only bad thing is that the meal has to go to the town, about ten minutes~

Lovely log cabin style rooms very spacious and about 20 min drive from Cradle Mountain national park. Very quiet, self check in. Small kitchen with microwave kettle and toaster. No wifi or phone reception and take some food with you

A single-family house that can cook, but wash the dishes yourself. Self-driving past entrance is a very steep path, be careful not to miss it. In addition, remember to eat or buy on the road for dinner, there is no electricity in the vicinity, it is not convenient to open the night.
