Picturesque location was lovely. The sounds of the birds and wildlife was so calming. Cute decorations outside. The room had heated blankets! When we arrived late, the lights and heater had been left on for us which was very considerate as it was a cold night. Would definitely stay again if we come back.

It's great but only Telstra works in the area, so we didn't have any network coverage. No wifi as well.

The location was fantastic for touring around Cradle mountain. The ensuite room had toaster, kettle, microwave and a great size fridge. We really enjoyed walking around and had a great local wine along with a microwave meal among the birds after a few days hiking.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Platypus suite. The cabin was very spacious yet cozy at the same time. I particularly loved the cute fairy garden decorations and thought it was the sweetest thing on earth. The pademelons freely roaming about outside were also very cute.

Super cute cottage style property about 25mims from Cradle Mountain. Really spacious with a lounge/dining/kitchen and huge bathroom with spa. You so need to be prepared for this accom as there are no cooking facilitates, just a microwave and not much around. There is also no wifi and almost no Telstra service (1 bar of 4g). If you’re looking for something off grid that’s still comfy and warm this is perfect.

The Inn was charming, and we stayed in a lovely cabin. It was very private, clean, and quiet. The room had a heater, which was more than enough to keep us warm in the cold weather. The location of the Inn is very remote (as you would expect). There are limited dining options close to the Inn, so you need to do your research and book ahead. The apartment only has a toaster and microwave, so we had to plan meals that didn't require full kitchen facilities. Given the lack of dining options in the area, it might be worthwhile for the owners to consider some more kitchen accommodations. We also weren't expecting the lack of service in the area and had no means of accessing the internet or mobile service (as we're not with Telstra) from the Inn. To be fair, we didn't look up their website in enough detail beforehand to find this information. We weren't provided with check in information directly from the Inn (it was apparently sent through last minute - which we never received). So when we arrived, we had to jump through some hoops in order to find out how to access the key from the lock box. This involved asking the coffee spot next door for wifi access to find the Inn's phone number and then walking up to the Telstra phone box across the road to contact the Inn for the lockbox code. The room had a TV as the only source of entertainment. Without wifi access, it would be good if the Inn provided some games/books as entertainment for guests.
