We found exactly what we were looking for on our trip to Cradle Mountain. Shepherds place was not far from the national park entry (approx 20-30 mins drive), located in a quiet area, and yet just off the main road, and 3 minutes walk to the local pub (the Cradle Lodge Inn) which serves food 7am-8pm and has a good selection of wood fired pizzas and other hearty meals on offer (plus you can buy milk/bread there too).
We were a group of three, so perfect for the 1 x main room with double bed and the second bedroom with 2 x single beds. All were very comfy, with new, warm bedding.
Big bathroom with separate toilet was handy, and the place has a huge open kitchen/diner and a wood burner for cosy evenings by the fire.
The kitchen was well equipped for people that want to cook.
