New accommodation option at Cradle Mountain

There is a new accommodation option at Cradle Mountain, one of Tasmania's most spectacular wilderness destinations.

The G'day Group this week unveiled a $20 million redevelopment at its Discovery Parks Cradle Mountain property in a major boost for the region's tourism offering.

Expected to generate an additional 60,000 tourism nights annually and more than $18 million in annual economic benefit for the region, the redevelopment includes 30 new cabins, 40 new tourist sites and upgraded amenities right across the property.

The project also sees the launch of a new premium cabin category with open fireplaces and panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows.

The 11 new premium cabins are designed to draw in high-value international tourists and visitors.

G'day Group Chief Strategy Officer Ben Simons said the investment would offer a much-needed boost to Cradle Mountain's accommodation offering.

“From incredible views to some of Australia's most regarded walking trails, Cradle Mountain is one of the most remarkable regional destinations in the country,” he said.

“As Tasmania looks to grow visitor numbers to more than 2 million annually by 2030, however, there is a need for continued investment in high-quality tourism product to ensure that we can not only support visitation growth but deliver an experience that is truly unforgettable.

“This redevelopment allows us to tap into the broad demographic of visitors the Mountain attracts - from hikers looking for a spot to pitch a tent for the night, through to those seeking a luxury escape, immersed in nature.”

West by North West Regional Tourism Chief Executive Officer Gabriella Conti said the organisation was delighted to welcome the completion of the new luxurious cabins, upgraded facilities, and expanded campground.

“This transformation is a significant addition to Cradle Mountain, addressing the demand for visitor beds and offering a diverse range of accommodation," she said.

"It is great to see G'day Group show confidence in our region by their significant investment. We know there will be an increase in visitors, and it is important we can cater to the market.”
