Waldheim Cabins

Cradle Country & The West


Set in forest near the Weindorfers’ chalet inside the park are eight rustic wood-lined cabins managed by the Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service. Each has heating, basic kitchen facilities and between four and eight single bunk beds. Despite their simplicity (no power points and a shared shower and toilet block), the gorgeous setting means that these cabins are deservedly popular.

Note that extra charges for linen apply and there are minimum stay requirements.
