Silver Ridge Retreat

The positives were a clean comfortable bed and the bathroom was renovated to a good standard. The rest of the cottage and the whole site was incredibly tired and appeared sadly neglected. There were dead flies on the window sills and a lot of grit. Dishes had not been washed properly by previous guests. You could not drink the water, lucky we had enough bottled water to get by.

Room was nice and clean, but after a long day bush walking you think the spa would be great to soak in. Nooooo rather disgusting when it’s brown water. I know the water is tested, but yuckkkky. Also a few bottles of drinking water would be really nice sitting in the frig.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It is a beautiful and relaxing area, the hosts are so warm and friendly and the grounds are very clean and tidy. The cottages aren't fancy, but they are comfortable and with little children I appreciate that there weren't anything around they could accidentally break. They had a blast in the swimming pool and we all enjoyed the spa bath tremendously. Very relaxing. The silver mine was a bit scary for our littlest, but the older one really enjoyed it. 3 nights were not enough to explore the surrounding area and make use of the facilities so I guess that means we'll have to go back! Thank you again for a great stay.

Great view, cute chicken & ducks and friendly staff.

Website needs updating as the only list activity available was the Silver Mine. Had booked and received confirmation of a Superior Cottage but was allocated a Standard Cottage. Had booked a 2 bedroom but had to 'request' access to the second room as this had been locked off. Bed were great though!

Very comfortable cabin with great view of Mt Roland. Good location to explore Sheffield murals, Tasmazia and the Village of Lower Crackpot , and a day trip to Cradle Mountain and Dove Lake. Staff very welcoming and helpful - quick to respond when asked for assistance. Thank you

The resort is in an amazing location, with Mount Roland looming over it - very dramatic. It is convenient to Cradle Mountain, about an hour away by road, and also only about 15 minutes from Sheffield, with its artistic delights (murals, mosaics etc). The resort's owner John could not have been more considerate and helpful. We were only there 2 days/nights but loved it.

We had a great family stay at silver ridge. John was so welcoming and gave lots of tips to spot wildlife. We found the platypus and it was amazing to see one in the wild. The scenery is beautiful. Pool was a great bonus for the kids after a long day exploring. Would really recommend this place

The pictures were too misleading. The furniture was dated and one room was unkempt when we checked in. There were cobwebs around. One cupboard door was broken. The place looked run-down. Indoor pool was filled with floating particles even though the owner claimed they used top-notch filtering system. I thought we will get to see more animals like in the pictures. Unlike what I read from reviews, we saw one duck, one goose, one cow and one horse. WiFi is strong but it was not turned on the second day. Basic kitchen equipment was provided. Fridge had a funky smell. After all these first impressions of poor upkeeping, we were skeptical of the water quality so we had to drive 12 mins to Sheffield to get drinking water. The only saving grace is majestic Mount Roland. I regretted booking this place. I should book a place a cabin at Cradle Mountain area instead.
