The northern end of Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park is a rich wilderness of flora and fauna, a region of open moorland and heaths dotted with lakes and tarns, deep gorges and forested valleys. It is here that Cradle Mountain Chateau is located. The hotel is only a 2-hour drive from Launceston, 1.25 hours from Devonport, 90 km from the nearest airport at Burnie.
