Great location, with fantastic views of Mount Roland. Interesting rainforest walk to abandoned silvermine.

Henk Australia

Waking up in the shadow of Mount Roland was lovely. In the early evening you can either sit outside to watch the sunset over the range or, if you have wet or cold weather, open the curtains for the view. Pool was great. Silence of the night, only broken by the occasional animal wandering the property, was what I needed. Night walk was good. (Thank you Justin) I met the possum, saw a flip of a platypus tail and wallabies.

Tammy Australia

The location was very beautiful. Views were great and the stars in the night sky magic.

Judy Australia

it was just stunning, John was lovely and so helpful teaching us much about the area. feeding the bourse and cows was such a treat for the kids and they loved the pool.

Jodie Australia

This place is little away from cradle mountain however it gives a breath taking view of Mount Rolland. The Sunrise and Sunset both are beautifully visible from outside the cottage while looking at surrounding green mountain range and Mt. Rolland just stands tall behind the cottage. The rooms are pretty big and nicely maintained to enjoy the visit. My group enjoyed the place and we found it to be a nice and comfortable place to stay in mountains.

Ritesh

Amazing views cute and comfortable cottage. Owners are lovely and friendly have alot of knowledge of the area. Very peaceful can't wait to visit again with the family.

Claire Australia

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.

  • Do your cottages have two separate bedrooms or are some beds in the living area - interested in a fairly large group booking for people 65+ years
    Hi All of our cottages have 2 bedrooms, with a queen in the main and 3 singles in the 2nd.

  • 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.
