Peppers Cradle Mountain Lodge

Beautiful grounds but the lodge and overpriced for what is provided, the rooms are dated and the amenties are poor. There is no wifi or Tv and this is not advertised.

This place needs a major renovation. Our cabin had a newish bathroom but no TV, no WIFI (get Starlink!!) wood fireplace that was very old and we had to walk a long way to the main bar and restaurant. The roads and walkways are very damaged and dangerous to walk at night. The location is perfect and the tavern and restaurant are excellent. Lots of gorgeous wildlife around.

We had high expectations dining at the Tavern in Peppers Cradle Mountain Lodge, but unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing. We ordered a pizza that turned out to be one of the worst we've had in a long time. The dough was bland and undercooked, with a soggy texture rather than crisp. The cheese looked artificial, definitely not fresh or high quality, maybe not cooked? We had to order a Margarita because there wasn't any vegetarian pizza at all. To make matters worse, the portion was small and the price surprisingly high. The quality and quantity felt unacceptable. It seemed more like a tourist trap than the warm, premium experience one would expect in such a stunning location. If you're vegetarian, be prepared for limited options, which was another big disappointment. It’s a shame, because the Tavern has a cozy atmosphere and the setting is beautiful. Sadly, the food does not live up to the surroundings

This was my second visit to the lodge. First of all, the location and setting are superb. You had merely to set foot outside to encounter all sorts of interesting animals, and the short walking paths easily accessible from the property made it very easy to explore if time didn't allow to go deep into the park. The rooms are cabin style - I appreciated the heating system, which features a gas fireplace that is easily controlled with a thermostat. It was getting down to 0 degrees C outside yet the fireplace kept the room comfortable all night long. The only minor drawback is the squeaky floor. If you need to get up in the middle of the night to use the facilities, you can't walk quietly and risk waking up anyone in the room with you. At some point it would be great if the Lodge could look into this because it was the same last year. We dined at the Lodge twice and appreciated the attentive, friendly service as well as the good food. Our last night was at the higher end restaurant which did a great job in food presentation and flavor, and took good care of us, making it a great end to the visit. I should call out the front desk staff who were kind enough to assist my wife in purchasing the body lotion that she had found in our room and liked very much. One of the staff went out of his way to procure some in time for our departure. I look forward to my next visit! Warm thanks to the staff who made our stay very, very special!

We spent 3 nights at the resort. The room was beautiful with 2 armchairs in front of the fire made it a cosy and relaxing stay. Highly recommend if you are planning on walks in Cradle Mountain, as it is the perfect sanctuary to come back to at the end of the day.
