G’day Group acquires Cradle Mountain Wilderness Village

G’Day Group has acquired the Cradle Mountain Wilderness Village, further expanding its presence in one of Australia’s most recognised tourist destinations.

Located directly adjacent to its existing tourist park, Discovery Parks – Cradle Mountain, the two properties combine to become the region’s premier accommodation and hospitality destination.

Featuring 45 chalet-style rooms and the award-winning Hellyers restaurant, Cradle Mountain Wilderness Village complements the Discovery Parks property, which recently underwent a $20 million transformation to include more family friendly cabins and new premium cabins.

“Cradle Mountain is one of the most spectacular and iconic natural destinations in Australia and it continues to be a drawcard destination for both domestic and international travellers,” G’day Group founder and chief executive officer, Grant Wilckens, said.

“We now offer options to cater to every budget and type of traveller – from overnight campsites for hikers and caravaners, to premium accommodation and dining for luxury travellers – enabling us to showcase this incredible destination to a diverse cohort of visitors.

“Importantly, we recognise the appeal of this destination is in its natural beauty and we are committed to operating with care and working in conjunction with Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service to enhance this appeal.”

Cradle Mountain Wilderness Village will gradually be integrated with Discovery Parks – Cradle Mountain Village, joining the Group’s growing premium hospitality portfolio, which also includes El Questro, Lake Argyle, and Rottnest Island in WA, Wilpena Pound Resort, and McCracken Resort in SA, Kings Canyon in the NT, and Undara in QLD.
