Bad Experience in Cradle Mountain

TripAdvisor rating 2.0/5

MauriceHoo TripAdvisor review

The hotel is badly managed. It is severely understaffed. Every meal is a 30 to 40 minute wait (for a lunch where the Tavern was not crowded at all it was a 50-minute wait) and it was just a huge waste of everyone’s time. It appears they hire a lot of temp staff from other countries (maybe in Australia on a working holiday visa?) and they try to be helpful but are not experienced. If you take into account the price of this hotel, which is higher than many of its competitors in the region, this level of service is really unacceptable.

DON’T DO IT!!!! 5 Star pricing, 2 star delivery.

If you have read any of the previous reviews, this one will be no different - and yet the management of the hotel continue to make excuses instead of taking any real action! Granted, we stayed at perhaps the busiest time of the year, meaning we paid over $900 per night - however what we received in terms of delivery from this ‘motel’ was worth less than $200. They have no right to charge this amount of money, no matter the time of the year. The ONLY good thing about this ‘motel’ is the location - it is incredibly convenient for getting to the start of the walking trails. From there, everything is appalling. The welcome at the front desk was icy! I think she felt she was doing us a favor by checking us in. Then you get to the room - if the complete lack of investment in maintenance of the property was not completely evident from the main building (timbers rotting, bird droppings everywhere, furniture scratched and falling apart etc.), it sure is from the exterior of the cabins. Then inside we found no WiFi, no air-conditioning and no TV. The excuse for this from management is that they are offering an outback retreat, but I’m sorry, for $900 a night, I want the option of having a cool bedroom to sleep in and some entertainment when it is raining outside and I can’t leave my room!! And then, because we are in the middle of nowhere and there aren’t any other options, we eat at the Tavern - the icy lady at reception told us that they were quiet and there would be no issue getting a table. We arrived at 6.30pm and got the last table - from there it was mayhem with dozens of guests aimlessly wandering around looking for somewhere, anywhere, to sit and eat before the kitchen closed at 8pm. All of this was happening while my husband was standing in the queue to order drinks and food for almost 20 minutes. And I use the word food lightly - they deep fried almost everything! My strong advice to everyone is DON’T STAY HERE - find anywhere else!! Management need to bring some love and care back to this property before it is even worth $300/ night - it is decades away from being worth the $900 we paid!

We had a lovely stay at Cradle Mountain Lodge. Although a little bit more than I would normally pay to stay somewhere we still had a memorable experience.

Over priced for the quality of the resort. The resort need la to be updated to reflect the pricing. The cabins are run down. Leaking shower, squeaky floors, cob webs on ceiling. Very tired

We only stayed for one night. The location was great since the shuttle bus is close by, but with the limited facilities in the lounge, I felt it was a bit overpriced.
