Peppers Cradle Mountain Lodge, Tasmania

Nestled in the pristine Tasmanian wilderness on the edge of the World Heritage-listed Cradle Mountain Lake-St. Clair National Park, this rustic retreat offers you the opportunity to relive the era of exploration and luxurious log cabin accommodation. The park’s iconic hikes begin at your doorstep, but you can also practise the delicate art of fly fishing, canoe on Dove Lake and ride horses across the beautiful open moorlands.

As well as endless outdoor adventure, guests can expect warm hospitality and comfortable accommodation. From elegant Pencil Pine Cabins to the luxurious King Billy Suites, the lodge’s cosy timber cabins are all discreetly nestled in the wilderness and have crackling log fires and big plush sofas to sink into. Overlooking the rugged mountains and ancient forest, the spa provides an equally tranquil setting for treatments, while the Highland Restaurant is recognised as one of region’s premier dining experiences, featuring the very best of Tasmanian food and wine.
