Cradle Mountain Lodge ups the sweetness for winter

The team at Peppers Cradle Mountain Lodge, one of Tasmania's iconic venues, has come up with some sweet treats to help guests enjoy the rest of winter. 

Cradle Mountain Lodge is celebrating the first snow of the season this week with the launch of a new seasonal indulgence: Signature Hot Chocolates, now available at the Tavern Bar & Bistro. 

Inspired by the beauty of Tasmania’s highlands, the limited-edition drinks are named after local highlights: The Aurora Glow is a blend of creamy white chocolate and rose; the Wombat Burrow is dark chocolate with coconut cream and a hint of vanilla; the Cradle Campfire is a combo of chilli dark chocolate and cinnamon and the Highland Spirit is a mix of milk chocolate, caramel, and brûléed sugar.

In addition to this offering, guests are encouraged to extend their winter escape with an exclusive stay offer: book two nights or more and receive 20% off accommodation throughout the season.

Each hot chocolate blend can be optionally enhanced with a carefully selected spirit, maybe a Tassie whisky, to make them perfect for an après-walk indulgence beside the fire.

I love the tranquillity of Cradle Mountain lodge with its crisp mountain air, cosy timber cabins and wildlife spotting opportunities. 

"Winter at Cradle Mountain Lodge is truly magical," says GM Kim Barnes. 

"From the first snowfall that blankets the ancient forests to the quiet moments watching native wildlife like wombats and pademelons adapt to the season, there is a unique serenity and beauty that captivates every guest. 

"It’s a time to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience Tasmania’s wilderness in its most enchanting form."
