Day 1

Welcome travellers! We begin our Christmas adventure with a personalised home pick-up. Once we have collected everyone in our sleigh, oops I mean coach! We will journey to the Waddamana Power Station for a tour & a morning tea. It’s important to learn about how our electric Christmas lights can twinkle so bright! Next, we head to Deloraine for a lovely lunch, followed by some light shopping and exploring the town. Cradle Mountain awaits, so we will make the final leg of our journey and check-in to the Cradle Mountain Hotel. It’s time to relax and sink into the Christmas spirit with a fabulous two course dinner. Early to bed tonight, Santa is on his way!

Day 2

Merry Christmas! Today is all about 3 things: presents, togetherness and food! Let’s get you started today with a buffet breakfast, followed by a peek under the tree to see what Santa has brought you... Lunch will be onsite at the hotel at your own cost & the rest of the day is up to you. Spend you Christmas Day however you see fit. There are lots of relaxing walks in the surrounding area, or if you’d prefer to lounge in all day, we won’t judge! Dinner will be a buffet, made up of all our favourite Christmas classics. Mmmm we can smell the turkey already!

Day 3

Today, you have a few options for how you would like to spend your Boxing Day. After breakfast, you may want to have a loungey day in, relaxing at the hotel and exploring the surrounds at Cradle Mountain. Or you may like to venture into Deloraine for some Boxing Day sales and a visit to the Arboretum. The choice is yours! Dinner will be at the onsite restaurant as we have our final evening together.

Day 4

We have reached the end of our stay at Cradle Mountain. After breakfast, we will journey to Longford where we will visit the Brickendon Estate for a tour and some morning tea. We couldn’t possibly leave Longford without stopping at Longford Berries to grab a sweet treat for the drive home. Lunch will be at the Clarendon Arms Hotel. Then we venture home, via Oatlands for a short comfort stop. Our driver will drop you home, safe and sound, hopefully with a very full belly and heart!
