"Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here, the cabin was delightful, very comfortable, and very inviting. Everything you needed was there. You just have to be prepared with regard to food, because after 3 pm the nearest food available it’s in Sheffield 30 minutes away. However, I took food with me so it wasn’t a problem. I could happily stay there for a few days for rest and relaxation. It’s also close to other attractions like cradle Mountain."
