The lodge itself houses a lovely al la carte restaurant and a tavern that offers great classic pub meals and live music on Wednesday evenings (courtesy of the local ranger!). The cabins are cosy and either have a wood fire or imitation wood gas heater. All of the staff are lovely amd the pademelons and wombats that frequent the grounds are happy for a chat too! Plenty of walks to do in the local area or spend some time in the spa for some pampering! Phone and internet coverage are non existent however you can purchase a code to access the wi-fi.

Nested high in the Tasmanian wilderness Cradle Mountain Lodge offers relaxed lodge style…read morehospitality and accommodation. Cradle Mountain Lodge is the perfect base camp for the outdoor enthusiast or for those who simply wish to relax and indulge at the famous Waldheim Alpine Spa. Use the links provided below to select the ideal holiday package for you. Cradle Mountain Lodge is set on the northern edge of the World Heritage listed Cradle Mountain/Lake St. Clair National Park in north western Tasmania. Cradle Mountain Lodge is an iconic, unique wilderness experience and is the closest you can be to the entrance of the spectacular World Heritage-listed Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Clair National Park. At Cradle Mountain Lodge, guest cabins are dotted amongst tree-lined ranges and overlook grassy folds. Wallabies and wombats pausing between mouthfuls of buttongrass and possums posing gracefully as they criss-cross timber boardwalks are some of the magical sights that await as you make your way along the well-lit trails and boardwalks. Your private timber cabin is set discreetly in the wilderness and each cabin offers soothing natural views whether it be of the Lodge Lake, the Pencil Pine River or into the surrounding native myrtle forests. The best way to appreciate the World Heritage Listed environment at Cradle Mountain is by taking a scenic walk. For guests of Cradle Mountain Lodge, it is not necessary to venture into the National Park to experience the best of Tasmania's wilderness, as we have a host of great walks with spectacular scenery that leave directly from the Lodge grounds. These walks are suitable for a wide range of fitness levels and weather conditions. Around the Lodge, there are more than 20 walking trails to suit every fitness level. Discover animal and plant varieties found nowhere else on earth. You can trek mountains, take to trails on horseback, mountain bike or learn to fly-fish - just some of the many activities on offer. And when it's time to relax, guests can indulge in a therapeutic massage or sauna at the Waldheim Alpine Spa - the perfect place to soak away tension and time.

Gayle and I wish we could have stayed here at least another night. We loved the "staying in a…read moreNational" park feel, but with modern touches and a nice restaurant that we enjoyed for Dinner and Breakfast. There's also a nice gallery across the way, and a few light hiking options from the building. Our room was very comfortable and roomy, although the bathroom was a little tight. We were afraid to unpack too much for a one night stay, and there was enough storage for longer stays. This is a place we'd love to come back to for a deeper dive into the Cradle Mountain area.

We decided to opt for the buffet - which was perfect for us after a day of walking and only a light lunch. The buffet featured seasonal and local produce and the selections changed daily. Everyday they had a live cooking station with a chef cooking a different dish to order. We thought that the food was excellent and reasonable value for money. The service staff were excellent - very professional.

We stayed in a two bedroom log cabin equipped with a kitchenette, fireplace and small tv for dvds. The rooms were nice and roomy but the beds are a bit springy. Breakfast is from 8-9:30am and you can order a hot brekkie or have cereals, toast, muffins, fruit etc. This is included with your stay. Nice bathroom with shower and bath. There are many beautiful walks and hikes that leave right from the lodge. You can also see a pademelon and possum feeding on the back veranda of the lodge at night.

I can't rave enough about Lemonthyme Lodge!…read more As a "wilderness retreat" it is way off the beaten path--even for Tasmania--and is situated near Cradle Mountain on a large tract of their own land, which means that there are beautiful nature walks and lots of wildlife to see right off the verandah! We stayed there for only one night, but because my partner mentioned that it was my birthday the proprietor arranged for a discounted room upgrade for us--which meant we ended up spending the night in a luxury treetop cabin for much less than the normal price! The room itself was huge, and had a spa bath, cozy gas fireplace for the chilly Tassie nights, and a large back verandah where you could sit on the lookout for wombats and echidnas. We even managed to spot a few echidnas out in the bush in the short time that we were there! Lemonthyme Lodge also has a restaurant that serves dinner and breakfast. It's a bit pricey, but it's basically the only option that far away from everything else, and it is SO WORTH IT. For dinner, you only have the option of ordering a two-course (~$47) or three-course (~$65) meal, but they were fine with each of us getting a two course meal and splitting one starter and one dessert (the portion sizes are quite generous) so we got to try a bit of everything. The food was, in a word, fabulous, and because the restaurant specializes in cooking with local Tasmanian ingredients, everything was very fresh and the meal was a great taste of what Tassie has to offer. The service was excellent and very friendly--they even put a birthday candle on our cheese platter dessert for me! Also, every night around dusk the kitchen staff feed a group of pademelons scraps off the back verandah of the lodge. As we were enjoying our dessert, pademelons started emerging from the bush in anticipation of their dinner, so we went out to watch them being fed. It was a great way to see cute wildlife and is definitely not to be missed! Breakfast in the morning is included in the price of the room and in following with the quality of dinner that we had it was excellent. Fresh baked muffins, a cooked-to-order breakfast, and bottomless coffee were the highlights--and exactly what you'll need to fuel a day of hiking either around the lodge or at nearby Cradle Mountain. Overall, our stay at Lemonthyme Lodge was brief but magical. The staff went out of their way to make our night special and enjoyable, and the remote setting offered a very peaceful way to enjoy nature and encounter shy wildlife. I would stay there again in a heartbeat, and I highly recommend a stop at Lemonthyme to anybody visiting the area!

Charming cottages from the outside. Very basic accommodations. Good for families but not groups of…read moreadults. Rooms have no privacy because one bed is out in the open. The other room has bunk beds and some even have triple bunk beds. It's cold over night and it's disappointing that you can't get the portable heater to run longer than 30 seconds and the room heater only seems to put out cold air. Continental breakfast in room is quite simple. Toast and juice. Yogurt. On the other hand, dinner last night was excellent with lamb and Nicola potatoes along with carrots. Wine is $30 a bottle. I won't vote to return here unless you are devoted to seeing wildlife which includes wallaby, possum, and supposedly devils (they come because they are fed).
