With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience all that Cradle Mountain, 20 miles away, has to offer. Mount Emmett, Crater Lake and Weindorfers Tower alone justify the drive. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Devonport, 25 miles away. If you only see one thing here, make sure it’s Devonport Ferry Terminal. (But we’d also highly recommend Mersey Bluff and Coles Beach.)
