Peace and Tranquillity at Cradle Mountain
Getting There - Cradle Mountain National Park Tasmania Australia
Attractions - Hiking and tourist centre
Hotels - several available nearby
Lots of walking track options to meet all fitness levels. We walked around the lake just a shame the cloud were not on our side. The cradle was not visible for most of the hike but the rest of the scenery was stunning.

Cradle Mountain - Dove Lake Circuit
A Trip is not complete is Tasmania if you do not drop by Cradle Mountain.
Cradle Mountain is popular due to its synonymous with nature, wilderness and all things pristine. It is like a place out of a picture, with abundance in this spectacular national park giving opportunities to encounter many wild life, which we encounter an Echidna. Such adorable but shy little creature. It is also filled with many lookouts and hikes from amateur to professionals.
Dove Lake Circuit is one of Tasmania's premier nature walk and was a relatively easy hike and took us about 2hours to complete, minus the photo taking and such. The total circuit is a 6km loop which a few lookouts. The walk is easy because there is a man-made broad walk for most of its way and is suitable for elderly and kids.
From the parking lot, you can already see the amazing view of backdrops of mountains but of course parking may be limited, do also check the weather, on the day we went, it started snowing and we all got a bit wet and was chilly as well. It was definitely an amazing hike with such spectacular, breathtaking view at every corner. This is definitely a recommended attraction to go.

Amazing views all around Cradle Mountain!
VIEWS FOR DAYSSSSS
Photos and videos just don't do justice to the beauty of Cradle Mountain. There are a few hiking trails around the mountain, of different difficulty level. I did an 8 hour hike to the summit and then around dove lake. Some bouldering involved at the summit, which was really tough and technical but nothing impossible with some patience and determination :)
Getting to Cradle Mountain is easy by car. There is a shuttle bus that brings visitors to the different start point of the hike trails/ look out points. Be sure that you have a national park pass first to access the mountain.
There are a few hotels/ Airbnbs around Cradle Mountain too. Didn't get to stay at any but would have loved to! #hiking #viewsfordays #mountain #hiketrip #hiketrail

Dove Lake Circuit Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
The Dove Lake Circuit Hiking Route
Dove Lake is a very popular tourists attraction in tasmania located at near cradle mountain, one of tasmania iconic mountains.
Dove lake has a hike that is a loop where it is a 2.5 - 3 hours circuit route that takes you around the lake that allows you to take different angle of this calm smooth reflective lake. During the walk around the circuit there are also several view points for you, where it overlooks the lake with the gorgeous breathtaking backdrops of the mountains surrounding the lake.
This is an easy hike with some gradual upslope and downslope, nothing too difficult. But if you do not want to walk the entire lake, from the car park, just walk down towards the lake which will only take you less than 10mins and you will be able to have a view of the amazing Dove lake.
Do go early, as the carpark gets filled up really fast and tour buses will also start coming in later in the day.

Experience nature at Dove Lake in Tasmania
Dove Lake is a lovely place! The water is still and quiet, and it's such a perfect place to experience nature and serenity all in one. Views 360 degrees all around!
There are a few hiking trails around Dove Lake (last photo), each with different intensity. The hikes all start off on the boardwalk around the lake, very easy and manageable. For more challenge, feel free to branch off to the other circuits where there is elevation.
It is a great place for tourists and families to spend a couple of hours together in nature.

An Epic Odyssey to Cradle Mountain 🌧️🏞️
Journeying to the captivating Cradle Mountain in Tasmania was a quest filled with anticipation and wonder. The allure of its rugged landscapes and serene beauty beckoned, promising a retreat into the heart of nature's splendor. Armed with curiosity and a sense of adventure, I set out on this odyssey, ready to embrace whatever surprises the journey had in store.
As the sun began its descent, casting a warm golden glow across the horizon, I found myself on the winding road leading to Cradle Mountain. The journey itself was a symphony of breathtaking vistas, as lush forests and quaint towns unfolded before my eyes. Each bend in the road seemed to reveal a new chapter in this story of exploration.
But, as fate would have it, the skies began to weep their gentle tears, painting the world in a misty haze. Raindrops danced upon the windshield like tiny percussionists, adding an unexpected rhythm to my expedition. Despite the rain, there was an enchanting beauty in the way the mist hugged the mountains, creating an almost ethereal atmosphere.
Arriving at Cradle Mountain, the rain had transformed the landscape into a glistening masterpiece. The droplets adorned leaves like precious jewels, while the tranquil waters of Dove Lake reflected the somber yet captivating skies above. The infamous boat shed stood as a stoic sentinel, mirroring its charming silhouette on the water's surface.
Though the weather wasn't on my side, the magic of Cradle Mountain remained undiminished. The rain lent a mysterious allure to the scenery, inviting me to explore with a different perspective. Donning a raincoat and armed with an umbrella, I ventured onto the walking trails, feeling the damp earth beneath my feet and inhaling the intoxicating scent of wet foliage.
As darkness settled in, the rain continued its gentle serenade. The sound of droplets tapping on leaves and cascading down the mountainside formed a tranquil melody, soothing the soul and creating a sanctuary of calm. I took a moment to simply listen, to be present in this extraordinary blend of rain, nature, and camaraderie.
While my journey to Cradle Mountain might have been accompanied by rain and late evening shadows, it was a journey well worth taking. In the midst of nature's subtleties, I found beauty, connection, and a sense of belonging. It's a reminder that sometimes, it's the unexpected moments that leave the most lasting impressions.

Satapo
In the Cradle Mountain of Tasmania, most of the accommodations are relatively high-end. This trip was in the Lemonthyme Lodge, which was half an hour's drive from Cradle Mountain. I didn't expect this choice to be unexpected. This forest log cabin looks really fairy-tale and the price is very suitable. The resort also has its own hiking route and small waterfall. It is an afternoon of leisure, nowhere to go, and it is self-portrait in the forest. When I returned to the hotel in the evening, the front desk called me to dinner. As soon as I entered the restaurant, a warmth was poured into my heart. The life of the cabin was really pleasant and I felt the full Christmas atmosphere. When I got up in the morning, the sun was not bad. I went through the publicity page of the hotel and learned that there is a hiking route next to the hotel. I can see this waterfall. There are more than one hiking route near the hotel, and there are mountain bikes to rent. Its a Sensian holiday experience, very interesting.

Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Cradle Mountain Forest Park is located in Tasmania on the southern tip of Australia. It is true that it is the home of the little monster that grins its mouth.
The Cradle Mountain is part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Site and is well known among hikers who have the famous Shakespeare Track. Walking through this virgin forest, you can experience a variety of landscapes such as snow mountains, lakes, forests and grasslands. It is more likely to encounter Australian unique animals such as wombats, wallabies, and Tasmanian monsters.
Come to Cradle Mountain and stay in the cabin at the foot of the mountain for a few days, warm cottages and warm fireplaces, everything is wonderful.
