The lodge is located a 10 min away from Sheffield and a pleasant 40 min drive away from Cradle mountain. The mountain and field around it is beautiful. The beds are comfortable and clean.

John was an amazing host. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He supplied rubber boots for the walk to the silver mine. He took us out at night to feed the possum which we all loved. The fires were lovely and homely. Would recomend staying here over any place in the town.

An Inside Look at Silver Ridge Retreat

Our property is literally on the edge of the wilderness, surrounded by nature reserve on 3 sides. It is home to us, our horses, cows, a wild goose that has adopted us as well as thousands of wallaby and dozens of possum that visit us of an evening. We are also home to Platypus, Echidna, 100's of species of birds (including eagles and hawks), wombats and devils (though both of these last two are very shy). We stock our large dams with Rainbow Trout (catch & release) for those who would like to fish. Because of our location in the bush, there is very little light pollution of an evening and the stars are just brilliant (particularly in the colder darker months) and we regularly see shooting stars and when conditions are right, aurora.

Our cabin didn't have and oven so couldn't cook the food we brought. Was a good excuse to go to the local pub for a counter meal so I didn't mind not having to cook tea.
Beautiful and peaceful location. Highlights were the rainforest walk and silver mine, spotlight walk to see the wildlife and feed possums, and the swimming pool was great.

The bed linen was not clean, no proper heating. Lighting up the fire wood was so hard as not supplied with proper fire lighter. The lighting method was using paper and it was quite unsuccessful in the first day and we felt like in a freezer. We bought our own fire lighters to start the fire on second day.
The location was good

Location was great. Very peaceful and relaxing being in the wilderness. There are a lot of things to do on the property such as exploring a silver cave with glow worms and big spiders (they are not poisonous, and they just sit there!), you can also go fishing and feed the animals. I would definitely go back to this place :)

“Cosy Cottage in a Very Quiet Rural Location :)”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 2 nights
The television was small in size and hard to view..... there were no electric blankets on the beds so it was pretty cold especially in the kids room where the extra blanket was very thin......
The location was excellent...nice and quiet...with a short 15 minute drive to the nearest town, Sheffield, with several food options available if you didn't feel like cooking. The cottage was detached and self contained - although dated - was very cosy :)
