Discovery Resorts - Cradle Mountain

The cabins are modern, exceptionally well equipped with a full kitchen, gas fireplace, satelite TV and great forest views. It has heated floors, electric blinds, dinning table, lots of cupboards and even bath salts.

This is hard. Most everything was good. OK the taps are those with a fixed volume and turning changes temperature. Quite wasteful. The bath tub should be screened from the rest of the Chalet as this is quite exposed. Oh yes, the road through the camp grounds is rutted.

We loved all the heaters and electric blankets. We were so cold when we came off the mountain. We went out for dinner but the restaurant there looked alright.

Check in could have been a bit easier. They asked a lot of questions. We were already booked in and confirmed. We asked for cabins close together but still had to drive to the next one. They couldv been in the same cul de sac! We booked 6 months in advance i couldnt see the problem getting them close together! The cabins definetly need a clothes airer (not an ironing board), for all the wet gear.

Loved the location

Only downside was the condition of the roads leading to the cabins. Lots of massive potholes.

The cabin was well laid out and had everything we needed for a short stay. The heaters worked well and the heated blankets were a nice touch. The location was great, very central to the park entrance, lodge and hotel. We ate at the restaurant for dinner and it was lovely - great service, great food for adults and children, and lovely drinks list. There is a nice lounge area with woodfire and another break out space with games and colouring for children.

Unfortuntely as soon as we entered our cabin we were hit with a stale and musty smell. Upon inspection there was black mould growing in the bathroom. Black mould exposure is clearly very bad for your health, and I did not want to stay in the cabin because of this however there was no accomodation available on the mountain for the weekend. I tried to contact the resort through booking.com as we arrived late and reception was closed, but got no reply. The cabin was also dirty. there were visible food stains on the main bed and sofas. My husband contacted cleaning and they changed our doona cover.
