It was interesting. Due to some bad weather and Highwinds and electricity cable was down and we were without electricity for approximately 15 hours. The staff on hand with fantastic and accommodating and it was a fun experience. Love the area

It was really clean and comfortable. Plenty of space and a good sized fridge. The bed was really comfy. The heater warmed up the room really quickly. is only 20 min drive up to Cradle Mountain. The only problem was that the 2 seater couch was most uncomfortable and i feel needs replacing.

the good - nice, clean, good lighting, warm room, cosy. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Excellent water pressure, lovely after a day walking. Parking outside our door, fairly quiet. Easy check in and check out. The not so good - lower shelf on fridge door was broken, so you lose storage space in a small fridge. The shower door did not seal and a lot of water leaked onto the bathroom floor. Overall would stay here again.

Thank you for your feedbackWe are aware of the issue with the shower - it is on our maintenance list as soon as the room is available for our maintenance staff to block it off

Think again
Though the room is advertised to accommodate three people, after no-refundable payment, you will find that you need pay extra for the third person. Also no tele signal at all.

Response from Manager on 21 Apr 2023
The room can accommodate 3 guests but when you book the room it advises that the room booking is for 2 guests and additional there is a fee for additional guests - if you have an issue with the way this is advertised on Expedia you need to speak to them as that is how they set up their site.Everything is refundable if guests request to cancel within a suitable time frame and for acceptable reasons.There is Telstra service onsite which is advised to all guests prior to arrival.

The cabin was neat and tidy, part of 4 joined units. Starting to feel quite dated though. the walls are a bit thin so you can here other stayers. Although warned how isolated it is and exactly what the facilities had it would be easy to provide a microwave at least or even an electric frypan. There was no facility to prepare meals. There is a cafe now across the road and we dined at a marvelous restaurant up towards Cradle Mountain also not mentioned. No reception on site and the grounds looking a little unmaintained, but all OK for a couple of nights.

Our rooms are supposed to be country style cottages so are not the cold modern styled cottages - they are just that "cottages".Every room has a microwave including this room so I am unsure as to why you thought you had no microwave - I checked with housekeeping who were quite puzzled as to why a guest thought there was no microwave. Our cabins are not designed for electric frypans and cooktops as the entire room and furnishing would be embedded with unpleasant odor of cooking.There is an information booklet in every room that has all the restaurants in the area including their contact numbers. The cafe across the road is new and is not open on a regular basis.

we had a lovely quiet stay. Beautiful bushland with wildlife right outside. Nice outdoor area. Cabin was as expected, rustic but clean with good facilities. Very pleasantly surprised to have Foxtel provided given the poor tv and phone reception in the area. I will definitely try to stay for more than one night next time.

This place is the perfect place for a quiet getaway. I stayed at 7 Pademelon’s Place and it was extremely comfortable. There is a lack of mobile reception there, but that is something that is clearly communicated by the owner. Definitely would recommend!

Great location, clean. Didnt appear to have staff onsite , no restaurant onsite and no ability to cook so microwave dinners or make restaurant reservations next town. A nice little store in Wilmot has necessities and assisted in sorting out restaurant booking as i had no reception. Loved that the little wallsbies were just outside my room.

Location to Cradle Mountain was great. Visits from wildlife was awesome - echidna, pademelon, kookaburra and currawong. Bed was great as well as hot water. The bathroom had some mould. Kitchen area was a little run down. Cutlery and crockery were a little sporadic, with only one bowl. The property is a little run down but comfortable. Wondering with the for sale sign out the front is this the reason that maintenance/up keep hasn't happened. All that said, would stay there again.
