The cabin was cosy and quiet. We enjoyed that it had a spa however the covers for some of the jets were missing and needed replacing. It was lovely to have wallabies visit while sitting on the balcony in the afternoon.

The room was a little dated, but clean and comfortably. Because there were very few options to by food or places to eat, or a stove top in the cabin, it would have been good to have a webber bbq outside the cabin to cook on.
The communal BBQ the only option for cooking, and the cooking implements were dirty and needed to be cleaned.
It was lovely to arrive and find the lamps and heating on. The bed was also very comfortable. Only a 20 min drive from Cradle Mountain made it an ideal location for our stay.

Nice environment, trees around it, more privacy.
Can see the wallabies
We had a great stay here! The caretaker of the property was really nice, and it was well located to visit the cradle mountain area.

Beautiful rooms but absolutely stop in Sheffield or Devonport for groceries. There is NOTHING else around and don't bother going to Wilmot
Jamie the caretaker is very friendly, ask him about his music
The room was in an ok condition. The care taker was very hard to find and didn't give us very much information on where to get supplies. We had no idea where we could get dinner either.
It‘s a very nicely fournished, special Atmosphäre Cottage in a Natural Environment.
We couldn‘t enjoy it so much because of the temperature inside. It was really cold. The Heather doesn‘t get the room warm.
This property was clean spacious and quiet
We arrived to a warm room with lights on ready for us to relax

Made Fawlty Towers look good.
No reception facilities, had to walk about in the rain to find someone, James who was very good, to tell me what to do.
Very isolated, as you would expect, but a below average meal supplied by the new owners, when they eventually turned up.
Room was fine but woulen't stay again.
