Cradle
Mountain Wilderness Village is situated in the Cradle Valley
and is easily accessible by car and bus. It is just over an hour's
drive from Burnie and Devonport, two hours from Strahan and Launceston
and four hours from Hobart. You will find us on the right hand
side three kilometres after the turn off to Cradle Mountain.
Cradle Mountain has a sub-alpine environment. Although the weather can be unpredictable at times, we enjoy four distinct and uniquely beautiful seasons. During adverse conditions allow additional travelling time.

Parks and Wildlife
Get the free bus to the Parks and Wildlife Visitor Centre to learn about the area, then on to Dove Lake, sitting at the foot of Cradle Mountain. Soak up the view or take the boardwalk around the Lake, one of Tasmania’s greatest short walks. On the way back, why not walk the newly constructed boardwalk through Cradle Valley.
