Tasmania’s UNESCO World Heritage Listed site, Cradle Mountain Lodge is undergoing an upgrade valued at “more than $10m” as part of Stage 1 of its redevelopment.

The vision for Cradle Mountain Lodge carries with it the significance of its history, with the newly upgraded King Billy suites to ensure the highest level of comfort through a generous in-room offering for guests.

The King Billy Suites create a new standard for high-end luxury accommodation within Australia, re-invigorating the signature statement central fireplace and famous outdoor spa baths, through to the elevated mini bar featuring a curated selection of local Tasmanian products. The new accommodation offering is now available to guests.

The Lodge’s restaurants have seen upgrades, with work on Highland completed in November 2019 and The Tavern Bar & Bistro set to re-open at the end of March 2020. Maintaining its casual food offering for lodge guests and day trippers alike, the lodge’s restaurants will showcase seasonal and local produce, displaying the best of the food bowl state.

In conjunction with the upgrades, the lodge has also introduced new sustainable practices to aid improving the ecosystem of its surroundings, starting with the introduction of beehives to produce honey for guests to enjoy but also to increase the number of bees in the area.

Cradle Mountain Lodge will continue to offer an unparalleled adventure opportunity in this important World Heritage wilderness site, as it pays homage to the original vision of its role in Tasmania.

Marianne Ossovani is CEO of HTL Partners and Head of Hotels, Tourism and Leisure at Elanor Investors Group says:

“Cradle Mountain is a special location that connects guests with both the adventure and tranquility of nature. We understand the significance of the lodge and its history and know that it belongs just as much to the state of Tasmania and to the guests who come back year and year again.’’

1,545m above sea level, Cradle Mountain is Tasmania’s sixth highest peak. Recognised as one of the last true wilderness regions on Earth, World Heritage status was granted in 1982 and covers approximately 1,584,000 hectares in Lake St Clair National Park.
