Cradle Mountain Lodge

SIGNATURE HOT CHOCOLATES AND AN EXCLUSIVE STAY OFFER INVITE TRAVELLERS TO SAVOUR THE SEASON IN TASMANIA’S ALPINE WILDERNESS

Cradle Mountain, Tasmania (2^nd July 2025) – Peppers Cradle Mountain Lodge is celebrating the first snow of the season with the launch of a new seasonal indulgence — Signature Hot Chocolates, now available exclusively at the Tavern Bar & Bistro. Inspired by the alpine beauty of Tasmania’s highlands, these limited-edition blends invite travellers to slow down, embrace the chill, and savour the spirit of winter.

In addition to this offering, guests are encouraged to extend their winter escape with an exclusive stay offer: book two nights or more and receive 20% off accommodation throughout the season.

SIGNATURE HOT CHOCOLATES

Created to capture the comfort and creativity of the alpine landscape, the new collection features four handcrafted hot chocolate blends, each made to order and available throughout winter:

• THE AURORA GLOW – A delicate blend of creamy white chocolate and rose.
• THE WOMBAT BURROW – Dark chocolate with coconut cream and a hint of vanilla.
• THE CRADLE CAMPFIRE – A bold combination of chilli dark chocolate and cinnamon.
• THE HIGHLAND SPIRIT – A nostalgic mix of milk chocolate, caramel, and brûléed sugar.

Each blend can be optionally enhanced with a carefully selected spirit, making it the perfect après-walk indulgence beside the fire.

Guests are invited to share their fireside rituals and alpine discoveries by tagging @cradlemountainlodge and using #CradleSignatureSips on social media for a chance to be featured.
