GT Travel Awards 2008: Best resort/lodge accommodation
Cradle Mountain Lodge, TasOne of the great pleasures of venturing into Tasmania’s wild north-west is knowing you don’t have to rough it. Cradle Mountain Lodge pampers city slickers and hard-core hikers alike in unexpectedly lavish accommodation set on the edge of World Heritage-listed wilderness. Pine cabins range from the comfortable and contemporary to the inspired decadence of the King Billy Suites with their deck-mounted hot tubs perched above the stunning landscape. After a day spent hiking in the national park or canoeing on Dove Lake, there is always welcome respite in the form of indulgent sessions at the Waldheim Alpine Spa, with six treatment rooms overlooking the idyllic Pencil Pine Creek. Regular tastings of premium Tasmanian produce and wines add a civilised touch to proceedings, while the signature Highland Restaurant and its more relaxed sibling, the Tavern Bar & Bistro, provide a place to relax and refuel before another day in the great outdoors.
