This property had broken glass on our pateo and in the paddocks. Our toddler cut its finger on the broken lounge room window. It was not safe for the kids, the old gym was dangerous and like a junkyard. The basketball court was covered in slime. The horse was lame and needed some serious hoof filing, it could not even stand on one leg. The lights inside were so dim we could barely see. The sofas were covered in decades worth of grime. The dining chairs were broken and unsafe. We were not provided with a cloth for washing up, only a scourer. All the knives were completely blunt. We left our three night stay early and felt better for it. Other than this accommodation - we had a wonderful stay in Tasmania.

We stayed in the Roland Cottage which far exceeded our expectations for only $180 a night in peak season. It’s a little further away from Cradle than most of the main hotels, but in a way we liked this better as it was quiet and peaceful - there aren’t many cottages and they are set right against beautiful bushland, making you feel like you’re in the forest. The cottage has a well-appointed kitchen with all the cookware you could possibly need, plus a microwave, kettle, fridge, stove and dishwasher. Coffee, tea and sugar were also provided. Best part of all though was a huge spa bath with bubble bath provided, lovely after a long day of hiking! We only wish we could have stayed longer.

We loved our cottage. We understand that a major fire destroyed the main lodge, so that has probably set the place back a bit, but the cottages are clean, tidy & cosy. The heating is great & there's everything we needed for basic cooking. Curley the Currawong bird is a bonus, as he brought berries to our door in exchange for the odd biscuit!

The hotel is quiet and comfortable in the westernmost part of the town. Surrounded by vast hilly grasslands, the scenery is pleasant. You can also see the alpacas (grass horses) raised by the locals. The room is clean, the facilities are more general, the old hotel, I feel a bit of the 90s feeling, but I like this style, this is the feeling of my heart town. The proprietress is a lovely fat aunt, warm and friendly. The only bad thing is that the meal has to go to the town, about ten minutes~

If you go to the town of Sheffield murals, living is excellent. The hotel's check-in time is only 8 o'clock. If it exceeds 8 o'clock, you will be told how to take your own key and stay. We rushed past the Flame Bay at 11 o'clock. We also asked how to stay. The staff on duty immediately prepared the key bill for us, and told us that the room door gave us a light, especially good. Motel, the facilities do not have to look forward to, but very clean, all places in Taju are beyond my imagination. The bath water is also very large. Check out early the next morning, the car can be parked in the hotel, then turn around, parking is free, but don't stop, don't block people's door. There is no elevator, there is a small second floor, you need to carry luggage.

We had the pleasure of staying at Glencoe for three nights and we had a wonderful time. We had the blue room and the bed was super comfy and the room was overall very quiet. Even with other guests staying we didn't hear a thing. The room is well appointed with a fridge, tea and coffee maker and a bluetooth speaker as well as all the other expected amenities. The bathroom is a little on the small side but the room is otherwise very spacious and comfortable. Irene and Russ are the most gracious hosts. It was a pleasure to meet them and hear about life on the working farm. Russ was even gracious enough to give us tips of places to eat and the best routes to take as we explored the area which we really appreciated. It's always nice to meet a fellow foodie and we had one of our best days in the area due to his advice. Irene is a genuinely kind soul and we loved how much she loves her animals. Breakfast each morning was genuinely brilliant. We don't usually get breakfast where we're staying as we like to explore local restaurants but we had breakfast each morning at Glencoe because it was so good. Freshly baked croissants, the most delicious mushrooms I've ever had and barista coffee. Add to that the pleasure of seeing chickens running around in the gardens it all just made for a lovely stay. If you are thinking about staying here I would encourage you to do so. It's a real gem!

If you are looking for a remote wilderness retreat, then you found it! However, if you are only visiting for a couple of days, like us, then it’s a 45-minute drive to the Cable Mountain Visitor Centre which is where you have to leave your car, get your park passes and take the bus to Cradle Mountain Lake St. Clair National Park. (sounds a hassle, but it's very well organised) If you don’t want to do that, you could spend a day doing the fantastic walks from the resort. Rooms - spacious with a mini fridge and massage chair, which we loved. Quite dark and a bit tired and not very clean. TV was basic and Internet was slow. Again, the bathrooms are huge with spa bath overlooking the rainforest and separate shower. Lovely balcony but the dirty ashtray left on the table spoilt it. The food was very good, service very slow. One of our party doesn’t drink and they had no zero beers, only non-alcoholic white sparkling which was served warm, sigh…. There was a general apathy among the staff apart from Tracy and Akeisha, who were both brilliant and seem to run the place. Lemonthyme has such a lot of character; there is an intimacy about it but it just lacks atmosphere; maybe because it was only half full. Our 2-night stay was not great value for money @ $500 a night for dinner, bed and breakfast; this is top dollar and the lodge does not deliver that high-end level of accommodation and service that the price suggests. It was an 'ok' stay but not a 'great' stay.
