Our family of five loved staying at Silver ridge retreat. It was an easy trip to cradle mountain as well as the surrounding towns. Our children loved the pool and the staff were really helpful and accomodating.

Lucy Australia

Glorious scenery & location. Units were large and comfortable. Host was very very pleasant and helpful without being intrusive. Pool was wonderful given that it was summer & quite hot.

Maria Australia

We got a wildlife tour and information. Location is very beautiful. House is clean and complete with cooking appliances. We got an opportunity to pat a possum. The owner is very nice and helpful.

Kristin Australia

We loved our stay at Silver Ridge Retreat. Spectacular views of Mt Roland and about a 45 minute drive to Cradle Mountain. The host is very friendly and knowledgeable and we really enjoyed the night tour to visit the possums. Recommend at least a 2 or 3 night's stay here, as it is a beautiful place to enjoy nature.

Kelly_c New Zealand

Fully equipped, spacious cabin with all kitchen equipment and log-burning stove. Excellent view of Mount Roland from large spa bath. Several scenic walks from cabin door.

Geoff Canada

The views were amazing everywhere you looked. It was very peaceful and cosy. It was neat and tidy and clean. Nice walks. The pool was an added bonus and we all thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing stay there. We loved it so much we opted to eat in all our stay.

Julie Australia

The location is excellent with Mount Roland as a backdrop to the property. It is a 40 minute drive to the Cradle Mountain Visitors center and only a ten minute drive to Sheffield (the closet town). The cottages were well equipped and comfortable. John offers a Nocturnal wildlife walk which we did and enjoyed.

Skidw Australia

Comfortable and cosy cottage in a very scenic and quiet rural location. John, the owner was an excellent host and provided us with plenty of information.

Heniek Australia

Beautiful location. Waking up to snow on the mountains around us was amazing

Kate Australia

Views of Mt Roland, Property division of rooms, pool, BBQ area. Very peaceful. John is very informative and helped with travel plans to a different location on checkout.

  • Hi does the cabins have other heating besides the fire? I’m not used to using a fire.

    Hi Yes. The fires have all been replaced with reverse cycle air conditioning. Much easier for everyone and less pollution and dust in the cottages.

  • hi guys I have a 2 year old that loves to "venture " off at ether dams / lakes fenced off ?

    Hi We have 17 dams spread over 180 acres. With farm animals, abundant wildlife and surrounded by native bush unsupervised "adventures" for small children would not be recommended.
