Wonderful

We had a excellent stay at Silver Ridge. The self-contained cabin was perfect for us, and the views around the property are amazing. The indoor pool was a very nice bonus.
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.
The setting is gorgeous and the swimming pool is beautiful—perfect temperature. We walked to the abandoned silver mine on the property and succeeded in seeing glow worms. It’s a 30 minute drive to the cradle mountain visitor center. The cabins have seen better days and have ugly plastic covering the tops of tables and dressers. Ours did not have a full kitchen, which was not clear from the hotel.com ad. There are no restaurants nearby so we had planned to cook our own meals, but that’s hard with just a microwave and a communal grill.
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.
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.
Spacious cottage, fresh air and great view of Mt Roland. The place is about 45 minutes drive to cradle mountain and 10 mins drive into Sheffield town. We enjoyed our stay there.
We were travelling with my mother in law who I think was expecting a 5* hotel and felt a bit underwhelmed,As we drove up from Sheffield.
But She my wife and my kids absolutely loved it. The views are amazing, the air is amazing the accomodation had everything we needed and the property and staff were amazing. Perfect location for visiting Sheffield Cradle mountain and Tazmazia was in the next valley across. Lots of friendly animals on the property, An abandoned silver mine with glow worms was a trek / adventure for my boys one day and then after coming back they jumped in the warm indoor pool.
And suggest you have a telstra sim with you, nothing else works as well in this part of tassie.
The cottage was clean and kitchen was fully equipped. It was quite cool the first night, and no heat in the bedroom that we could find, and we couldn’t get the place warm. We finally figured it out the next morning, but we spent a pretty uncomfortable night. Also, although my husband was able to log onto the wifi, the password in the handbook never worked for me. We enjoyed the chicken who came to visit us both mornings!
Highly recommend for families wanting to explore the Cradle mountain National park and midland areas of Tasmania.
50 min drive to cradle mountain visitor centre. 15mins from Sheffield. Cabins are very comfortable with stove microwave, fridge, toaster.
Retreat has an indoor heated pool great for relaxing after a long days walk to travel.
Laundry facilities- 1 x washing machine (free to use) and industrial dryer (about $5-6 per load to dry. )
Kids loved exploring the farm.
Water is spring water - Uv sanitised and filtered - we picked up some drinking water from Sheffield IGA in 3ltr containers to be sure.

Beautiful setting and friendly and knowledgeable staff. We enjoyed our stay here.
Was a little disappointed that there was not a fireplace in the cottage as expected from advertising pictures.
Excellent location right at foot of mt. Ronald. We stayed for two night but felt we should planned a couple of more nights here. John was excellent host, guided with details on what to visit. The night tour in the property and the silver mines in the property are highlights for the children. Great place to stay !!!
