Silver Ridge was the family favourite of the places we stayed in Tasmania. Echidnas, platypus', padamelons, cows, birds, a goose, chickens, horses; the list goes on, all were a hit with our littlies. We ended up forgetting to pack toys for our trip (oops!) and yet the kids weren't bored. The indoor pool was fantastic, and warm despite the occasional arctic wind that I'm sure appeared sometimes.
The view of Mount Roland was absolutely incredible.
Wood was restocked for the fire, everyone we met was nice and approachable. One of the guys spent 30 minutes helping us find a platypus (which are tiny, by the way!).
The Silver Mine cave is almost knee deep with water and mud, do not eschew the complimentary wellie boots!! We didn't go far in it (given we were carrying two kids) but the walk to the mine was worth it.
There was a detailed guide book for the local area, worth looking at. Everything was clean, tidy and logically organised in the cabin.
I have been recommending Silver Ridge to anyone that asks. And people that don't ask. Definitely recommend that you check it out.
