So beautiful, but some functional limitations

It looked wonderful, and it was super scenic and very romantic getting away from it all. Most of the experience is fantastic. However - and it is a big however, Moina itself is just a cafe and art studio on a T junction with villas around it - so you do need to bring supplies with you. Unfortunately the kitchen, although providing a big bench space, had no heating surface - even an electric frypan would have done wonders for flexible food preparation (as we had in 2 other chalets immediately prior to coming to this accomodation). Difficult to cook an egg when there is only a microwave. In addition, we were recommended to bring microwave meals in an email sent out 48 hours prior to arrival - but it was a good thing we did not do such a thing as such food is usually frozen - and the tiny compartment in the bar fridge supplied would not store lfrozen meals - so my advice to others - is don’t do it if you are going to be there a few days - which is a little odd given they recommend it - but then do not provide a freezer space to match their own recommendations. Thus, either they need to provide a means to boil water in a pot, so you can cook tinned food, or they need to provide something bigger than a small bar fridge with its minuscule freezer if the microwave is the only food heating source.

Comfortable stay at Cradle Mountain

Just a short 20 minutes drive to the cradle mountain national park area, our room was very comfortable with a big bath tub to relax in. The heater was great during colder night. There is a cafe across the street offer good selection of food but we mostly enjoyed cooking on the back veranda with our camp cooktop and eating with beautiful forest view. We saw pademelons showing up everyday in the back yard and they were the cutest.

Picturesque location was lovely. The sounds of the birds and wildlife was so calming. Cute decorations outside. The room had heated blankets! When we arrived late, the lights and heater had been left on for us which was very considerate as it was a cold night. Would definitely stay again if we come back.

We arrived to our lovely cabin, to find the bedside lamp and heater were on. The room was spotless .A beautiful large bed with lovely linen and covers. As an extra bonus there were heated throw blankets to use if necessary. The care taker and the cafe staff were very accommodating and friendly..Nothing was too much trouble. The only downside was that we had only booked one night Wish we could have stayed longer.

The location was fantastic for touring around Cradle mountain. The ensuite room had toaster, kettle, microwave and a great size fridge. We really enjoyed walking around and had a great local wine along with a microwave meal among the birds after a few days hiking.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Platypus suite. The cabin was very spacious yet cozy at the same time. I particularly loved the cute fairy garden decorations and thought it was the sweetest thing on earth. The pademelons freely roaming about outside were also very cute.
