Peppers Cradle Mountain Lodge

Peppers Cradle Mountain Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Peppers Cradle Mountain was amazing! The setting was beautiful, the cabins so warm and cosy, the lodge reception area was really inviting, and the nature walks around the lodge were stunning. Highly recommend this place. We stayed for two perfect nights. The meals at the tavern are really great and well priced too."

Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Preston cost?
Budget hotel prices in Preston vary, but you can find a great deal from £76 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
Which area of Preston is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For travellers seeking cheap hotels in Preston, Tasmania, focusing on areas directly within the town centre or just on its outskirts will yield the most budget-friendly options. Preston is a smaller locality, and accommodation choices are more limited than in larger cities, so broadening your search slightly beyond the immediate town will be beneficial.

Solo travellers often find good value in the guesthouses and smaller inns dotted along the main roads leading into Preston, such as those along the Bass Highway or the roads connecting it to nearby towns like Ulverstone. These can offer a quieter stay while still being a short drive to Preston's limited amenities. Look for establishments that cater to travellers exploring the Cradle Coast region, as they often provide basic but comfortable rooms at great prices.

Families on a budget might consider holiday parks or cabins in the surrounding rural areas. While not strictly "hotels," these often provide self-catering facilities which can significantly cut down on food costs. Many are located within a short driving distance of Preston, offering a more spacious and private stay, typically with outdoor areas for children.
When is the most affordable time to visit Preston?
For budget-conscious travellers, the most affordable time to visit Preston, Tasmania, Australia, is generally during the shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November). During these months, you'll often find lower prices on accommodation and flights compared to the peak summer season, while still enjoying pleasant weather conducive to exploring.

Solo travellers will appreciate the quieter atmosphere during these times, making it easier to secure deals on guesthouses or smaller hotels. The milder temperatures are great for hiking or cycling through the scenic countryside around Preston, and many outdoor activities can be enjoyed without the summer crowds.

Families might find these shoulder seasons particularly appealing due to the reduced demand for family-sized accommodation, which can lead to significant savings. With fewer tourists, popular attractions are less crowded, offering a more relaxed experience for children.
How can I save on a budget hotel in Preston with Expedia?
There are plenty of ways to save on a budget hotel in Preston. Join One Key™, our free travel rewards programme, to unlock Member Prices across a range of hotels. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on hotel bookings. If you're feeling spontaneous, be sure to check for last-minute deals.
What free activities should we do in Preston?
Preston, Tasmania offers a delightful array of free activities, great for solo travellers looking to explore without spending a fortune.

Many of Preston's natural attractions are completely free to enjoy. You can immerse yourself in the stunning natural beauty of the region by exploring the numerous walking tracks and scenic lookouts within the nearby forests and national parks. For instance, the trails around Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park offer breathtaking vistas and opportunities for wildlife spotting, though access to the park itself may incur a small fee at certain entry points, so check ahead. However, many trails on the periphery are freely accessible, allowing you to experience the wilderness without cost.

For those interested in local culture and history, a stroll through Preston's town centre provides a glimpse into its past with charming heritage buildings and local art installations. Solo travellers can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and perhaps discover a local market or community event, which often have free entry.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Preston as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Preston for you.
