It was a lovely cabin with good facilities. Nice spa bath and the slow combustion heating was nice. A great base to come home and relax after a day walking at Cradle Mountain and Dove Lake. The resident wallabies and the birds were outside of our cabin, and we saw a wombat crossing the road.

So much character…..we absolutely loved our stay at Highlanders. Super friendly team who did everything to make our stay a great experience. Cabin was so warm and cozy, surrounded by beautiful bush, very clean and tidy. Native wildlife at our door which the kids were thrilled about. Ideally located opposite the tourist center for easy access to the shuttle buses into Cradle Mountain. Would definitely recommend highly!

Beautiful secluded cabin, immaculately maintained with so many kitchen accessories that meant we were full self contained and enjoyed family meals together. High quality bedding, lovely thick doonas, the fire was lit for us before we arrived and bedroom heaters on. Firewood roped up frequently (I think everyday). Staff were so helpful and friendly. We’ve stayed at Peppers before and preferred the Highlanders for its seclusio, we felt like we were in our own little sanctuary. Peppers is ok if you don’t mind the business and hustle and bustle. But this place was just gorgeous and literally across the road (with bush in between) the Visitir’s Centre.
