Cradle Mountain, Tasmania

Cradle Mountain Lodges & Accommodation

Cradle Mountain–Lake St Clair National Park is Tasmania's most iconic wilderness area, a UNESCO World Heritage landscape of ancient rainforest, alpine meadows and the distinctive jagged peak of Cradle Mountain reflected in Dove Lake. It's the starting point of the famous Overland Track — a 65-kilometre, 6-day walk through the heart of Tasmania's wilderness.

Even day visitors have plenty to do: the Dove Lake Circuit is a 2-hour walk around the lake's edge with stunning mountain views, the Enchanted Walk follows a rainforest creek, and the Cradle Mountain summit challenge rewards fit hikers with panoramic Tasmanian views.

Accommodation around Cradle Mountain ranges from luxury wilderness lodges to self-contained cabins. Don't be surprised to see wombats wandering past your cabin at dusk — they're abundant here.
