I can't say enough good things about Silver Ridge Retreat! John is an absolute fantastic host and the cottages are very comfortable and clean. The location is amazing! You can see the pictures, but it's nothing like experiencing it in person. Waking up to Mount Roland each morning is such a treat! John's property is absolutely gorgeous and he took us out for a night walk to check out the local nightlife- pademelons, wallabies, possums, owls and even 2 platypus! Silver Ridge Retreat is a short distance to so many of Tasmania's beautiful national parks. We ventured out to Narawntapu and Cradle Mountain, but there are many more just within 30-45 minutes. Sheffield is the closest town, about a 10 minute drive, and there are plenty of restaurants and a couple of grocery stores. I definitely recommend Silver Ridge Retreat to anyone and I can't wait to return someday!
