A local had recommended the beef rissoles to me - I've never had it before, and it turned out to be very tasty meat loaf with mashed potatoes. My husband got the Mongolian beef pie, found it a tad sweet, but we are told it's a proper pie (made properly). Service was scant but friendly but we went late in the afternoon and there weren't many customers. You should stop by if you're hungry and coming back from Cradle Mountain!

Reception was informed and immediately we were update at no extra cost and had serval drinks paid for at View 42. Extremely happy with the customer service. The downside: We went to the local pub for a beer before dinner, the waitress didn't seem to be interested in accommodating you unless you were "local" she was off putting and there was very much a homophobic vibe happening. Needless to say we left and went to View 42 which I would highly recommend as well and the train trip. Overall a enjoyable 2 days.

We initially came to Peppers lodge very excited to explore the Australian wilderness. However, we…read morewere left with only disappointment regarding the terrible service and extremely rude staff. First, we went to the Tavern to eat lunch and whilst our group ordered first, the food came last (the food of most of the other guests in the restaurant came first). When we asked the staff about it, they refused to help or even apologize. It took over one hour for the food to come, and when it arrived everything was cold, soggy or overcooked. Perhaps If you want a medium rare steak cooked well done for 40 dollars served alongside rude staff, then this is the place for you. When we spoke with Shane, the manager, he only defended himself and refused to apologize or even acknowledge their wrongdoings. The next day, my 85 year old mother in law was left to wait outside in the cold for almost 20 minutes at 630 AM because the staff refused to allow us into the lobby to check out. The staff of Peppers lodge have no compassion or care for their customers, this is by far the worst service we have ever encountered for a hotel, it is not even worth 1 star.

The lodge itself looks rustic but it is very modern with Wi-Fi and all amenities; however, there is no Wi-Fi at the cabins you stay in nor is there any TV. So if you need this type of technology, probably not the best bet for you. With bonuses such as hot chocolate kits with marshmallows and other wonderful things like a wood fireplace? This place is heaven. I will say it is the one place on the planet where you can sit on your deck and see pademelons, wombats, possums, and other wildlife walk right past your door. Rooms include a very lavish breakfast. The restaurant's okay at best. It's kind of mediocre but they try very hard and that makes a difference. You can do a variety of very lovely walks to waterfalls and other features without getting a pass into the national reserve. Or you can get a pass and go in and do other more extensive hikes.

The dinng experience here is one of my all time favorite foodie experiences ever. There is a walk in wine locker where you can personally hand pick your bottle of wine, and that's just for starters. The rooms are super comfortable and the inn is located just a short walk from the waterfront. The service is attentive yet not at all stuffy. One of the top romantic getaways on the planet. 5 Stars all the way!
