Located outside Cradle Mountain, in Lake St. Clair National Park (a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Hobart, Tasmania’s capital), the 18-room design gem occupies a former 1940 hydroelectric pump house at the end of a 900-foot-long dock. On the mainland, The Lakehouse, which used to be the hydro substation, is home to the hotel’s restaurant.
