Cradle Mountain Lodge |
Cradle Mountain Lodge has joined Australia's
premier boutique accommodation brand - Peppers Retreats & Resorts -
following its sale to new owners, Moss Capital.
To be known as Peppers Cradle Mountain Lodge, the
multi-award winning property first opened in 1972 and transformed over the
years into a world-class boutique wilderness retreat. The Lodge's 86 guest
cabins boast an enviable location at the entrance to the spectacular World
Heritage-listed Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Clair National Park in the northern
Tasmanian highlands, just over an hour's drive from Devonport and two hours
from Launceston.
Bob East, CEO of Mantra Group which manages the Peppers
portfolio says the signing of such a renowned property as Cradle Mountain Lodge
recognises the brand's reputation as one of quality.

"It is fitting that one of Australia's greatest
examples of boutique accommodation should now be associated with Peppers, a
brand synonymous with providing luxury boutique accommodation experiences to
guests for over 25 years," he said.
"We are very strategic with our acquisitions to the
Peppers brand and ensure that all properties are of the highest standard which
Cradle Mountain Lodge more than satisfies."
Marianne Ossovani, Head of Tourism and Leisure at Moss Capital
said that co-founders Bill Moss and Glenn Willis are delighted to partner with
Mantra Group on this iconic Australian tourism asset.
"Partnering Peppers with Cradle Mountain Lodge is a
natural association - we believe the Peppers brand captures the essence of
boutique retreat accommodation and it is a welcome addition to the established
name and reputation that the Lodge already enjoys."
The Peppers brand started with the opening of the first
Peppers property 25 years ago - the famous Peppers Guest House in the NSW Hunter Valley - and now includes over 25 properties in Australia and New Zealand.

What began as a group of small boutique retreats now
includes a host of luxury holiday resorts and the beginnings of a network of
metropolitan based apartment hotels. Retreats include Peppers Mineral
Springs Resort in Daylesford and Peppers Craigieburn Bowral through to the
impressive resort style accommodation at Peppers Salt
Beach in Kingscliff and
Peppers Beach Club Palm Cove. The brand's first foray into metropolitan
locations has been a great success with the opening of Peppers Broadbeach in
2010. Further CBD and regional locations around Australia
and New Zealand
are slated for 2012.
Set discreetly within a stunning wilderness setting, Peppers
Cradle Mountain Lodge offers four different types of accommodation, from the
contemporary Pencil Pine Cabins to the luxurious King Billy Suites, and

walking trails for every fitness level. Activities on offer include guided or
self-guided trekking, mountain biking, horse riding, fly fishing, canoeing and
